The (Significant) Step Three Page:
Yeah! You're rolling now!
In Step Three you have a chance to get creative.
Don't worry, it's easy.
Any teacher will tell you that teaching something is the best way to learn it.
This step is designed to put you in the role of a teacher.
You should have created your MOP. (If you haven't done that yet, click over to the MOP Page and do it.)
Now you are going to teach your MOP.
Using the GenericWorkSheet, or your word processor, or any piece of paper, create a fictitious conversation, a dialogue, between you and your MOP.
You may talk about lots of things, but somewhere in the conversation you need to bring up the skill you have just researched.
Explain it to MOP.
Have MOP ask lots of questions, and answer them.
Note: each time you switch who is talking, you should begin a new paragraph.
Don't worry about quotation marks, they'll only slow you down.
Just
write the words you and your MOP say, and by skipping a line each time
the voice changes , you'll easily be able to tell who said what, and so
will your teacher.
Be sure to include plenty of examples.
And treat your MOP the way you like to be treated by teachers.
You can also print the page which will allow you to have something to put on your refrigerator.
The program includes an interesting (wrote it myself) discussion about using MOPs to do this kind of writing. Prelearning. Or don't.
