Explanations & Samples     My Classroom Usage     Making SLS Activities     SLS text compared to CC      
The following is a shortened sample of how the format was used in my class/study:

>The video is on a large projector screen & we use stereo audio.

>Each student has an individualized script worksheet to complete.

>The video repeats as many times as needed to complete activity --typically 3 to 5 repeats.

>The entire activity takes 25 minutes per day and progresses through an entire musical over a 4 week period.

Please see lower section for an explanation of SLS as an educational tool.

 

(This is a shortened sample of class worksheet -- basic to SLS format is the idea of an 'engagement activity'. With classroom use this is a practical approach for a large group & can easily be modified to individual reading needs. Other 'engagement activities': Echo reading, Sing-a-longs, Learning to sing, Karaoke Performances, Making SLS/Karaoke Media)

Listen/watch video at least three times. Do the activity:

And if they _________

  As Lucifer ___________


The ___________

 

  The sword!


____________!

 

  In your multitudes


Scarce to be counted

 

  ____________ the darkness


With order and light

 

 You are the sentinels


What is mostly the pattern for the missing words?

1) Explain the reference to ‘Lucifer’?

2) Define ‘multitudes’


3) Define ‘sentinels’

 
(One moment please -embeded video should open! This is a 28 second repeating sample: the first part is CC subtitling available on DVD,
followed by 3 different samples of dynamic subtitling)
Notice the difference between Dynamic Subtitling and typical Closed Captioning?

 
Did you notice the difference between Dynamic Subtitling
and typical Closed Cationing?
