Purpose: By the end of this part of the module you should be able to apply the skills you have acquired for teaching command sequences to almost any set of commands. For subsequent sequences in this manual refer back to this module.
Preparation: Make a list of the previously taught commands and vocabulary items which you wish to review.
Teaching:
Step 1: Review previously learned commands.
You should start by giving commands to individuals and groups of students. Students who wish to practice giving commands should be encouraged to do so.
Step 2: Model a new command.
Teacher: Go over to the bookstand.
(Have a student carry out the command or you carry it out yourself.)
Step 3: Give a new command to students.
Teacher: Bill and Mary, go over to the bookstand.
Step 4: Repeat Steps 2 and 3 with each new command.
After each new command mix in previously taught commands and create novel sequences, e.g. Sit down on the table.
Also you can give a command to one student and while he is carrying it out you can give other commands to others.
Step 5: Have students give commands.
Practice 3: Follow procedures in Module V - Teaching Numbers.
Practice 4: Follow procedures in Module VI - Command Sequence.
Practice 9: Follow procedures in Module III - Cloze Dictation.
