Instructor’s Name: Jacqueline George
Course Name & Number: ESL 096 (Reading for Non-Native Speakers I)
Next scheduled to be offered: Fall 2007
LEARNING OUTCOMES: Students need to be able to:

Write a basic summary and annotation on an assigned article from a
periodical database; include author, article title, the periodical title and
the date of publication
KNOWLEDGE BASE: What do Students need to know?

Correctly identify abstracts, full-text articles and book reviews

Understand the following elements in a database record:
article title, author, publication title, subject, people, document type,
document features, section, and source type

Understand the difference between a summary and an annotation

Identify the essential elements of a summary and an annotation
TEACHING: What will students do to learn this?

Using a variety of sources, come to an agreement about the strict
definitions of abstracts, articles and book reviews

Have 5-7 abstracts of varying lengths without any markings that identify
them as abstracts. Have students determine which ones, if any, are
abstracts and which are articles. (Ss will learn that abstracts can be both
short and long.) Then, discuss the reasons for their choices. For the next
exercise, provide copies of the 5-7 articles (still without any identifying
information) and have students determine if they are full-text articles or
book reviews. Discuss the reasons for their choices.

Finally, reveal the database records, using the 5-7 articles to illustrate each
record element listed above – with a special emphasis on contrasting a fulltext article and a book review.
ASSIGNMENT: How will students practice what you want them to learn?
