Digital Highlighting Activity - Creative Language Class - 6 views

  • Posted by Kara Parker on April 17, 2017 in 3 Activities, Interpretive Reading, Reading, Techy Stuff, What's New
  • Highlighting is one of my top go-to interpretive reading activities. Today I will review an app for apple devices and Chrome. Let’s see how highlighting can go digital! I blogged about this “Highlight Away” activity before… It was Idea #71 in 2012! If you haven’t read it, take a minute to see where this idea started. Why I love highlighting… It gives a focus while reading It takes away the frustration of “not knowing every word” (adjust the task, not the text) It preps them to summarize It preps them to discuss the reading No comprehension questions needed (low teacher prep) It lets them figure out the meaning and learn new words in context It shows comprehension without translating Here are a few examples of highlighting activities we’ve done in lessons:
    • maygeorge
       
      I think this article is very helpful.
    • pludek
       
      This is a great idea - they could also highlight in an app like Notability if you use that
  • s in the Street Art unit. They were reading opinions about graffiti before they gave their opinion. It was awesome seeing how this activity gave them so many solid reasons that support their opinions.

  •  template for you to adapt and use if you are doing the activity with highlighters and printed articles. Copy and paste the image to your preferred program (Word, PowerPoint, Pages, Keynote, etc). Add text boxes over the image to create your categories.

    Thank you for the video. I wasn't sure exactly what a flipped classroom looked and how it worked. Very helpful!
  •  
    We have used VoiceThread, I hope we will use a few more in the coming weeks. I noticed each said Free and some had paid with an i in a gray circle(?)
  •  
    I liked this list of applications (free and pay). Out of the thirty, I was only familiar with three: "VoiceThread", "Kahoot!", and "Screen-O- Matic".

Authentic Activities for the World Language Classroom | Edutopia - 27 views

  • Encourage students to have silent conversations using Google Docs. Choose a theme and have each student select a color for their responses. Make sure they share the document with you too, so that you can monitor and comment.
    • effeinstein
       
      I love this idea of using google docs for interpretive activities
  • In order to help students better master the units we teach, remember these rules when selecting activities:They must be authentic. They should always be engaging. Activities should be varied. They need to be focused on the unit theme. Perhaps most importantly, they should force students to use the target language.
    • effeinstein
       
      Important to remember!
    • leahmyott
       
      This reminds me of the assessment class I took at CARLA where I learned about the importance of using authentic materials to help boost student engagement and language learning.
  • f we make activities genuine, our students will be much more inclined to participate, acquiring new knowledge in the process.

      I think authenticity refers to authentic materials and authentic tasks. What are real things native speakers would do?

    This looks like a good resource for new classroom activities for any language.

    I am very interested in creating comics, I will use this in class: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/strip-designer/id314780738?mt=8 Thank you a lot for the great ideas. May George, Group C.
  •  
    This site has some awesome ideas! I can't wait to start planning for the upcoming school year!
  •  
    Amazing blog! I really like the explanation they provide for authenticity since it is not just decoration of the classroom with the cultural aspects of the target language. I will be using some of the activities they suggest :-)
  •  
    This great. I am not comfortable with the modes. This blog will help me to associate the modes with activities which will be more meaningful for me.
  •  
    Always good to have a list like this on hand! I also like the breakdown by modes.
  •  
    Thanks for sharing. I bookmarked it.
  •  
    Looks like a great list!
  •  
    This is such a valuable resource. While it felt validating to see some of the activities that I already use on these lists, they also gave me new ideas to try for next semester. I am sure students will appreciate the variety.
  •  
    I have used both Veinte Mundos and Paperboy--Wondering if I can use EdPuzzle/ Playposit, or Diigo with these-- I think that will help with greater student engagement and my ability to track what they are 'doing' with these resources-- It is not enough to assign them to watch/ read, I need to provide the activity to accompany it.
  •  
    this one is a keeper.
  •  
    If a tech device is not available for all students in class, you can do silent talk using a pen and paper. I used to call this activity "Pencil Talk"
  •  
    This seems like an excellent article/suggestion. I really enjoy using Google Docs and am excited to look into that.
  •  
    I, too, was planning to bookmark this piece. I appreciated that it was organized by the different modes.
  •  
    Focusing on authenticity makes students more inclined to participate. In addition, activities should be engaging, varied, focused on the unit theme and force students to use the target language. This article has suggestions for engaging activities for the interpretive, interpersonal and presentational mode. Many of these activities use technology, and the author provides links to the apps. A very useful and quick read.
  •  
    I really like the idea of doing an email activity with my students! Thank you for posting this article! Great ideas!
  •  
    Now I have another question: what role does a textbook play in our instruction? Do we need to get rid of materials written for language learners?

Checking Reading Comprehension Remotely Using Student-Designed Comics - The FLTMAG - 4 views

  • The book is an excellent summative text for the course because it brings together the historical, ideological, philosophical, and artistic viewpoints that students had engaged with throughout the semester. 
  • At first glance, this might seem like a simple assignment, but it requires higher order thinking. It required students not just to understand the story of the character in question, but also to apply this understanding by retelling the story in their own (German) words. Students did not just demonstrate reading comprehension; the assignment forced them to identify key details in the story in order to make the story fit the limited number of panels available.
  •  
    The app name is Make Beliefs Comix and the author is Carol Anne Costabile-Heming.

    I love Makebeliefscomix. it is a much better option than when I had students draw a comic strip and take a picture of it to turn in. I will be using this one. Thanks!
  •  
    I just tried the site to see how it works. I find it user friendly, easy to navigate through.
  •  
    I like Makebeliefscomix too. It is easy to use and the students have fun creating heir message.

  •  
    Agreed! An excellent overview, including videos! What I'd love to see, though, is what an Extempore session looks like in real time. Any suggestions?...
