Came across the idea in Carlatech in July, but this article provides multiple ways of implementing. Something you can start doing in just about any class tomorrow!
I made sure that they understood why I felt using a translator for work that the students were supposed to do is plagiarism. This has to be the first step.
I discovered this post from an earlier carlatech class when searching "German" in our group, and I thought it was worth bringing to our group's attention. The site offers hundreds of songs in many languages. Would make for a fun Friday reward activity.
Created by a secondary school Spanish teacher, this blog is well organized and most of the ideas are adaptable to other languages and other levels. There are at least 3 things here that I plan to try out within the first month of school.
