Using Grice’s Maxims in Discourse Assessment

Abstract

Most of the materials for the Let’s Know! curriculum are available on the website. The books/texts necessary for the narrative lessons are readily available for purchase on book websites, and the majority of the stories used in the narrative lessons are also available on YouTube. Therefore, teachers and speech-language pathologists could readily implement the narrative lessons in their entirety. The texts used for the expository lessons are not readily available. The content of these lessons, however, is content that is commonly part of the curriculum for elementary school students, so it is likely that relevant texts could be found in classroom or library materials. Table 1 displays some of the objectives for the second grade fiction unit and Table 2 displays some of objectives for the third grade animal expository unit.
