2. Vocabulary (3-4 min)
3. General statement of author's message (5-6 min)
4. Identification and discussion of major themes or subtopics (10-12 min)
5. Application of material to other works (15-16 min)
6. Application of material to self (10-12 min)
7. Evaluation of author's presentation (3-4 min)

Today we had four groups share their projects which basically was to plan a six hour teaching session structured around learning tasks. Students took their cue regarding how to structure their lessons using Jane Vella's Taking Learning to Task.
Why Vella's method which involves answering the seven basic questions in planning? Because by asking Who? (Participants),Why? (The Situation), When? (Time Frame), Where? (The site),What? (The content), What for? (Achievement-based objectives), and How? (the Learning tasks and materials), you develop a greater awareness of the setting, the people, the objectives, the tools, etc to get bring your people exactly where you want to bring them.
I trust that this exercise has been useful for you, and that our experience has illustrated the difference between teacher/teaching centered tasks, and learner/learning centered tasks.
Honestly, I would have made this your course text if not for the cost!
