1 thought on “Circling with Balls Q and A – 2”
I must be missing something, because I’m gonna be totally honest and say that I could not turn that into a week of compelling CI.
My understanding is that the main way to keep PQA alive is through circling – questioning for further details, gradually extending sentences. Then, there’s compare and contrasts (parallel stories and characters), but that’s also more questioning and lots of circling. . . fabulous if you can pull this off for sizable chunks of time and can extend it for weeks on end. I’m not doubting it would be great CI, that is, IF it’s still compelling.
I can inconsistently (at best) keep the attention and maintain high levels of interaction of junior high students with PQA, and even when achieved, it can be tiring. We are good at managing 5 minute PQA bursts. But if I started the year expecting a full period of CWB or other PQA, then, I’d be shooting for the stars, IMO. That unrealistic mindset can discourage teachers and get them to start thinking they’re not good TCI teachers, and the doubts may eventually get the best of us.
Maybe I should try to gradually extend that time . . . 5 . . . 6 . . . 7 minutes, etc. until students have better attention. But then, why put in that effort if I’ve found Step 2 and MT to raise student engagement? To answer my own question: the value of personalization – as long as you are still able to personalize the classroom.
In fact, I wonder if we have held storyasking too high and need to wipe away that frown we have towards storytelling. That’s partly what Annoying Orange/PSA is about. Working with visuals is another easy way to include more storytelling, as is working with TPR.
Storyasking requires tons of interaction between student and class, which honestly can be draining on the teacher and students. We both need a break, not from CI, but from storyasking CI. I also believe it can be easier to transition and learn to TCI with more storytelling approaches. Beniko Mason has had great success with TCI that is storytelling with very little interaction. Maybe we should be looking more through the Krashen lens, rather than a TPRS lens (the TPRS lens is one of many focused visions).
Another type of break (form of novelty) I think we should consider is from the strictly targeted CI. If you find ways to maintain high comprehensibility without saying a target structure in every utterance, then sounds like a great way to achieve a better CI balance, perhaps even optimal for long-term fluency development.
