okay hello thank you very much everybody for joining us this afternoon i'm so glad you've uh given up some of your precious
time to have a look at our resource called mojo mevi
um your uh your presenters today are me kelly ronan and my colleague
barbara melodic um we are going to be giving you a bit of a slideshow for a few minutes
and then i'll jump over to our website and give you a demonstration of our
online platform so uh today we'll be together for about 30 minutes or so but
we're happy to stay on longer if you have any questions at the end you're more than welcome to ask them and
and there's no time limit as to when we need to leave so here we go
so we'll start off just really quickly if you want to take a picture of this screen this is our email address so my role here
at pearson is to do digital support so all of our teachers across canada
who are using our digital components which is pretty much all of our products
that we publish come with a digital component we like to say that i come with a purchase
so do keep in mind that if you buy anything digital from us you're never alone if you if you need
any help in any way you're more than welcome to reach out to me at any time
and barbara you can see her email address here on the screen as well her role is the marketing manager for
all of our fsl products so that includes we have a gopro
we have mojo mavi
as well as our french immersion products so barbara is the guru and expert
on all of our fsl resources
so let's get started so i always like to start off by saying that our author team is made up of
experts and you can see here this is our slide that has all of our experts and specialists so
they are as you look through the list you'll see they are our authors are fsl teachers and coaches
and facilitators cefr uh experts which is the common european
framework of reference and we have uh assessment and differentiation experts among our author
team as well so movies on my v is divided into modules
and these modules offer students a variety of purposeful language learning
situations to advance their speaking skills and it's aimed to facilitate a more
spontaneous conversations and messages between students and to give students more
confidence and greater ease with understanding and interacting with others so what you see
here across the top are the four modules that go with mojo medv
er and across the bottom are the modules that go with mojis so here in ontario
uh level one corresponds to grade seven and level two corresponds to grade eight
but in other provinces it varies that the grade levels vary so it could go anywhere from grades
uh seven up to ten really depending on what province you're in so we don't we don't necessarily refer
to them using a grade number we refer to them as level 1 and level 2.
so these here in this diagram are the pedagogical principles that
support our series so we took into consideration the vision of the cefr the common
european framework of reference and the fsl curriculum in ontario
so what you see here at the center of it all of course is the student who is uh first and foremost a social
actor and then what you see around the outside are the guiding principles of
the cefr so certainly the the series contains authentic situations action-oriented
tasks functional language differentiation and inclusion definitely and we have embedded culture
and embedded literacy throughout the program so each
40-page learning module is based on functional language so these
are real-life themes and action-oriented tasks in each module there are three different
social contexts you see that on the left context and they're focused on the same learning
goal as students work towards the action-oriented task at the end of the module
so what you see here on the screen art are the texts the text titles on the uh left hand
column these are taken from mojo my video module one called unrest on bonsante
so these are the texts that students will encounter in that module and you can see here the different uh
communication focus the functional language that's part of each of these texts
so students will be doing things such as making introductions and talking about themselves they'll be
discussing survey results or talking about healthy food choices
um learning to be a good digital citizen so these are all just examples of the functional language that comes up
in the different texts in this particular module
so because of the links to the cefr students are working towards action-oriented tasks which are
purposeful acts set in a context that students could face in everyday life
these performance tasks are open-ended and with as many possible paths leading
to attaining the specific end goal these tasks actively involve
learners in meaningful communication for a specific purpose in real life interaction so
so what you see here on this screen on the right hand side in the blue box are the guiding principles of the cefr
and on the left hand side you see these are just two examples of margin notes teaching tips
that we've pulled from the teacher guide just to show you that throughout your lesson plans we do
emphasize and call out anywhere that there is a direct link to the cefr or to the guiding principles of the cefr
so students are prompted to engage with texts in a way that asks them to understand
and challenge and critique the content so a variety of texts in the program
encourages students to engage with each text in a different way students are
regularly asked to assess and analyze and evaluate their own learning
as part of the instruction so here you see three different examples of texts that were taken from these are literally
student book pages and just to show you some examples and some variety of the types of texts so you can see here
there's certainly we will be including we include graphic texts and authentic text so for example this
is a menu that you see here in the middle and again even i'm communicating through text messaging
a more casual conversation style back and forth between two people uh everything doesn't have to
be formal so students will be given opportunities
to demonstrate an appreciation of and an understanding of the francophone culture
but they'll also be making connections to their own culture and the their own community where they live so
francophone cultures are regularly integrated throughout the teaching and learning throughout mohais what you see here is a
what we call a culture capsule so this is just taken off of one of the pages of
the student resource to give you an example of a type of a little blurb and paragraph that the
students will be encountering as part of the context of the pages
so to support uh some the the texts include some built-in support tools and
i'm just going to show you a few of those examples now so to support interactions in structured
and guided and spontaneous ways provides students with a section called
and this section this type of page shows up for each task on the performance task pages of within
each context so students here can on this type of page can find a variety of
sentence starters and expressions and terms that they can use to communicate in
daily real life situations and specifically to be used during their performance task
so another type of support that's built into the text are these strategy pages so
we there are strategies for before during and after each of the strands the four
strands of listening speaking reading and writing so these strategies are accessible in
each text and they are recommended throughout each lesson in the teacher guide in your lesson plans
so these strategies are used and reused throughout all of the modules
and then lastly we have uh ledexia now v0 this offers students support when
they're reading independently um i do want to point out it's hard to read the text here because it's it's so
small on the screen on the powerpoint slide but i do want to point out that there are no
english definitions in in our dictionary
we use visuals to support students understanding of the more challenging words
and while other words are described using language that the students already know so that's that was an
important thing for us to point out is that the dictionary is not an english an english
french translation um tool so let's leave the powerpoint slide at
this point and jump on over to our online resource so i can show you a little bit about how
it's built and how it's set up while i do i'll just check in with my colleague barbara to see if there's any questions
i know you're keeping an eye on the chat is there anything i should be addressing at this point
not at this time no thanks okay thanks barbara okay so here i'm logged in so this is
the online platform we call it the pearson etext platform and what i'm going to do is
open up the menu to first of all show you this is our table of contents here on the left hand
side and uh when you log in or when your students log in if you do purchase
uh student licenses you'll see that all of this is included all four modules
are included when you purchase uh when you purchase the professional bundle and get your online access so you don't
have a different login for each module they're all here in one platform uh
the this table of contents is clickable so all you need to do is expand any one of
the modules and uh choose one of the pages by clicking on it and you will get taken
directly to that page so all of this is uh clickable um before we jump over
to the student book pages and have a look i do want to just spend another minute here in the table of contents
folder and show you what else comes with it for you the teacher so we do include here a folder called
that's your getting started guide so if you just open that up we have some help documents here how to
use this e-guide how to navigate uh where to find everything that's all included in your
getting started guide as well as you can learn about how to use the offline version
so if you are in a situation where your wi-fi is not stable you can download most of this
content to your desktop to your to your computer and you can use most of it
in an offline mode if that appeals to you the next folder down is called queen de
nosing so this is your teacher's corner i'm just going to open that up
and we'll have a quick look at the content in here so this teacher's corner folder includes
the program overview i'll start there by clicking it so this
is a pdf document that is the background information
to the program this is uh i highly suggest you have a read through of this
document you're not going to read this every day this is not where you find your lesson plans but this is where you find all of the
information that goes into the building of this program certainly an introduction to the
program um information about planning for instruction and assessment uh some information about
teaching and learning practices so there's some really great pedagogy here in your to help your teaching and
learning for your students learning of fsl um certainly in over uh information here about the authors and
really just good foundational information about teaching fsl specifically using this
program so all of that is in the program overview i'll just close that which is in your
teacher's corner the next document here in your teacher's corner is the teaching notes
so again i'm just going to open it it's a pdf document that isn't an isn't a replica
of your teacher guide so this is where you find your teaching notes your lesson plans
for each of the modules and you can see here that the teaching notes are split up
by module and by context and again these are pdfs so you can print them
you can save them you can do whatever you would do with any other pdf document
we're going to have a look at the actual teaching notes in a few minutes but i do want to let you know that
this is where you find the entire teaching notes all combined together in one place
and then lastly here again in your teacher's corner we have links to the line masters
so we call them les fischt activity as well as the feast evaluation so
assessment masters and worksheets and we provide them to you here for the entire programs
for all four modules let me just click it and you can see here that you have the
choice again they're grouped together by module and you have the choice of opening these
as word so which means you can modify them if you do that so like any other word document you can
make editing changes and uh changes to the document or
if you don't want to make any changes you can just scroll down and choose to open it in the pdf format so that's up to you
how you want to uh interact with these files now these files are very easily shared
with students these keeping in mind that's what they're meant to be used for these are the activity sheets and the evaluation
sheets assessment sheets so these you can send to students through email or
through google classroom or through a password protected website
so or certainly print them out and hand them out in class so depending on how you're teaching
these uh documents are meant to be shared with students
kelly can you also can you also share the fish answer key like in google classroom or anywhere yes
for sure thanks yeah barbara that's a great question yeah thanks for jumping in with that i'll just open it that's the next item
here so these are the answer keys this again is in your teacher folder your teacher's corner
and so these are the answer keys for all of the different line masters so we've gone through and put together
uh the answers so as a teacher you certainly can share this with students
or not that's your choice and if you want to just use them for your own use then they're here for
you but if you do want to share them out then you can do that through however you share documents with
your students yeah okay great so let's close the menu now for now and
oh sorry before we do there is one more folder i'm sorry that i meant to show and that's down
here at the bottom and it's the uh multimedia folder so when you open
that this does contain all of the multimedia that i'm about to show you on the
which shows up on the pages but we've also taken all of that multimedia and put it in this folder
so we've given you here the activity the listening activities so let me just open
that so all of these uh modules come with
listening activities and we have them collected instead of going to the
various pages you could just open them up from here you can see all the pages
throughout the modules so that's one type of media listening activities
we also have language demos like yeah which are little mini um
grammar lessons in a uh in a video format and again we've these appear on the
pages but we've taken them all and collected them here in one place and put them in the folder
activity so i won't click on this one but this is a listing of interactive games and activities for
students to complete and videos and lastly down here at the bottom lids
which are slides so all of this multimedia does exist
on the pages of the student books but we've put them all together in the multimedia
folder as well for quick and easy access for you
so let's close the table of contents now and have a look at the student book pages and
see where all of this content sits so the first thing i'm going to do with
our a text is turn it over into two-page view so up in the settings
uh menu at the top i've just chosen two-page view so now you can see the left and the
right page at the same time of course you can see that the pages are smaller
in the presentation but you also in the settings have the choice of using the zoom
feature here to zoom in so if i just scroll through this using the zoom bar you can see the page
gets a bit bigger behind here and then you can use the scroll
bars to scroll up and down or left and right
to have a look at the whole page and zoom in and be able to read everything but just
for our presentation i'm going to leave it zoomed out just so that we can see everything
that's on these pages at a glance without necessarily reading the words themselves
so the first thing i want to show you on these pages are the icons now down the middle of the two pages you can
see a series of icons so this is all of the content that i was referring to all of the media content
so up here at the top we've got some listening activities that's what the audio icon refers to
here on the page so these are two listening activities that go with this lesson
so let me just quickly play one me
ah stephen today's activity
okay so this is an example of one type of listening activity so the students are listening to the
audio file and looking at the pages and trying to figure out which student
uh it is you know which one is stephen he says uh in valdesarayan so at this point
students are encouraged in the lesson to listen for le mo families to try to pick
out some of the things that they're familiar with in the audio file and there's a second listening activity
that goes with this lesson as well some listening activities
go with line master so the teachers are expected to first distribute the line master for example
and of course all of this is explained in your lesson uh plans in your teaching notes
so down here at the bottom so let me actually zoom in here because i do want to show you the
teacher icons at the bottom of the page so it's best if i'm zoomed in i'm just scrolling down
here so now there's three icons that are is that's these are your teacher icons so
the first one is your teaching notes so if i click that a pdf will open and this contains
your lesson plan your teaching notes for these lessons it's not for the whole module it's just
lessons one two and three that refer to student resource pages
four and five so you'll be spending three lessons on this using these pages
and here are the actual lesson plans themselves so we're not going to read through the
lesson plans uh word for word but um i just will scroll through and let you have a look
the lessons are divided into three parts before during and after we call it minds on
action and sorry let me scroll past all this to the third part which is consolidation
so that's an example of a three-part lesson plan and then in addition to using a
three-part lesson model we also use the gradual release of responsibility
model in these lessons if you're familiar with it you'll know that it's all about moving
the responsibility from the teacher to the students in a sort of a four-part
a four-step procedure so these uh we've got these letters here and that
refer to the different steps so the first step is modeling where the teacher is modeling the language
and all the responsibility lies with the teacher the second step in the four-part gradual
release is shared practice sp so that's where the teacher and the
students are sharing the practice of the language together then we get into the third step
which is guided practice gp that's where the students now the responsibility is gradually moving more
towards the students the students are doing the practice practicing the language on their own
more or less with the teacher there as guide and support and then finally the fourth step is
independent practice where all the responsibility now is with the students and they are practicing independently
either in pairs or small groups or on their own so for more information about the guided
the sorry the gradual release of responsibility model do check out the program overview
because we do explain it in there so i'll just leave that window open and jump back
to the e-text so all of those teaching notes are found here for lessons one two
and three in this icon the next teacher icon is your slides
so these are leads so when i click that a powerpoint file opens
and so this is uh we've heard from from teachers that they spend a fair bit
of time making powerpoints to show to their students during the lessons so we've gone ahead our author
team has put together slides that teachers can show during the lesson
and these we've put on these slides things that we think you will need that will help your students during the
lesson so for example some strategies of course this program is built around
learning strategies so here's here's a strategy that comes into play during this lesson
jeffery de prediction so let's predict what's going to be
happening in this lesson in this activity here's another strategy
giutilis we give some sentence starters so if you
want to do a poll professor students might need some help with
asking the questions and composing their answers and then here i'm just scrolling through the rest
of the slides and i can see some maps here so somewhere in the lesson you would be talking about
liaison c the antilles um so instead of you having to go off to
google and find a map with french labels that is age appropriate we've gone ahead and
provided you with what we think you'll need throughout the lesson in these slides
so just a few more icons to show you so we've looked at the teaching notes we've looked at the slides
and then here for teachers these are your fish these are your activity sheets
again for these lessons so it's not for the whole program that's found in your teachers
folder but here for lessons one two and three are these worksheets in pdf format
that will come into play during these lessons so just a few more things to show you
i'm just going to zoom out a little bit here now kelly for a question for the fish if
you did want to um do anything yourself on it you would have to actually go
into the uh folder to get the word file right you're only getting the pdf
in the actual icon yes absolutely rubber that's a great distinction so i'm glad you brought that up so here on the pages
using the icons we give you pdfs so presumably you will print those and students will
write on them but if you want students to type and receive the files digitally
and send them back to you digitally you need to go over to your teacher's corner in the menu and use the word
file for that you can in a pdf document you can't type but you can type in a word document
which is here in your coin yeah thank you um so i'm just going to
turn the page now and we're moving on to a new lesson a new series of lessons
and now we have new icons on these pages so down at the bottom are the same three
teacher icons you've got new teaching notes you've got new slides and new line masters
that go with these lessons and up at the top i can see another listening activity
we've already seen this icon the next icon here is video so this is a
video that goes with this lesson so let me just click that
and it opens uh let me just press play
okay so i'm just going to stop it there so these are functional videos they are instructional
videos that our author team has scripted and that we filmed in
canadian classrooms so these are our students we do want students to see themselves
represented in our videos and so throughout our videos and our audio
files where we have students you will hear a variety of accents
um and you will see a variety of students um so that's really important to us that
the students who are in our classrooms we do want to see themselves they we do want them to feel
that they are represented in our content so that's one example of a video uh
the next icon here is an activity interactive so this is an example of what was sort of like a
game or an interactive activity we have a whole variety of these throughout the text so this one happens
to be a drag and drop so the students will read the description and now this comes
after already being through a bit of the lesson already the lesson being where they're reading
the menus on the pages and talking about the different um types of foods that
might be gluten free or low in fat or high in protein or vegetarian
so here they're reading some descriptions they're dragging and dropping some icons and then they
check their answers and they can just keep trying until they get it right down at the bottom uh it tells you how
many pages are included in these activities some of them go up to you know as as
much as 10 pages and there's different types there's fill in the blank multiple choice
drag and drop match up so there's all different types of act interactive games
and then we also have a little uh culture capsule on this page so i'm just going to click that so we
did have a quick word about that already so here is a little reading that teachers can do with their students
to tie in the francophone culture with the content of the pages which is
menus and food choices so here's a little bit about casca le zado
on siemens so in case you ever wondered what teenagers are eating in the antelesa this this clearly looks
like they're eating pain so um so again this is just a little snapshot a culture snapshot for you
that goes with the content of the pages now i have one more thing sorry i have
two more things to show you i'll just turn the page and
let this one load so here we are on a new page so new lessons again at the bottom your
same three teacher icons teaching notes slides and activity sheets at the top
we have student listening activity we have a different interactive activity and we
have our demo long as yeah this is a little language grammar mini lesson i'll just click it
and oh yeah it's not opening i had that trouble earlier today so i think it
might be my internet connection so sorry you're not going to be able to see this one but this is a short little
two or three minute video that really focuses in on one element of grammar the
president whatever is going on in the lesson we
give students a bit of extra support through a little mini grammar lesson
so that one more thing to show you the last thing is up here in the top toolbar you will
notice um speaker uh headset icon so this represents the audio
i'm just gonna start sorry i didn't realize it would auto
start so what this is this uh headset icon is the read aloud
of the text on the pages we've recorded all of these pages using students and
adults in the various roles and we've put them here in a playlist
so all you need to do is it'll automatically play whatever page you're on but if it doesn't you can just use this
menu here to open it up and scroll down to the page that you're on and it will
it will play it for you so this is different from a listening activity this is no activity built in here this is
literally a read aloud of the text on the pages
okay so that's everything so that's what i wanted to show you can you show one final thing yes can you
show the um offline upload oh yeah i did um oops sorry i'm having trouble here
closing this there we are the offline option here for sure
so in the folder here on the left under guide your getting started guide
we do have information here about how to download all of this content and save it onto
your computer so that you don't need to rely on the internet now the interactive games are
not available in the offline mode you do need to be online for that but everything else is
available the listening activities the read aloud the videos the teaching notes all of
that is available if you just want to save it it's a huge file and it does take a while
to download but it's worth it if you are having internet issues
okay and there are lots of teachers that happen to be on cars if they're in the classroom and they are
on cart between classes it might make sense for them because it might they might have spotty wi-fi
absolutely yep yep that's great okay so um if anyone has
any questions at all or uh wants me to review anything or if you want to see anything else just let
me know barbara and i are happy to stay on the line here and spend some time with you otherwise
let me go back to our slides here and put up our email address again
so that you can email us if you have any questions after today we're happy to reach out and do any uh
tech support or answer any questions okay so i'm down here there doesn't seem
to be any questions i just wanted to thank everybody for joining us today
and thank you kelly you're welcome thank you for your help barbara i hope everybody has a great evening and
uh reach out if you have any questions at all but we'll end it there for now bye everyone
