      There are always good themes but we need to figure out how to make them focused, comprehensible and doable. That is the key.
  • Lots of comprehensible input there! They learned about new genres. Some said they added music that we learned about in class to their playlists. Love that!

      Comprehensible and compelling input. Plus, added Spanish music to their audio files. The best language learners are the ones who listen to music and watch videos.

      Seeing how she described the cultural aspects of the unit really brought into focus what she was trying to accomplish. From here she will be able to set up tasks and activities that meet these goals.
  • Now the major communication goals:
    • rfrisch125
      rfrisch125 on 27 Jul 17
       
      I like how these three areas help define what the students will be able to do.
  • For example, for the last presentational goal where they tell what happened, they only used a few verbs (won, nominated, said) as memorized chunks. Intermediate students were able to give more details and it sounded like a true narration of events with transitions.
    • rfrisch125
      rfrisch125 on 27 Jul 17
       
      I love this! each level can accomplish the goal by sheltering or minimizing the vocab.
  • And the remaining 3 C’s:

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:

      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.

      I'm guessing that it should be instrumental. Classical or jazz?

  • Students make a doodle video.  It’s easy to do and read about it here.  Students each make a picture for one line of a song. Put them together and then make a movie.
  • Carolyn Graham’s “Jazz Chants” are perfect for any class, young or old. The repetition, rhythm and simplicity of them make any lesson very effective.

  • "Fakebook" allows teachers and students to create imaginary profile pages for study purposes.
  • Use "Fakebook" to chart the plot of a book, the development of a character, a series of historical events, the debates and relationships between people, and so on!
  • Robert Steen on 24 Jul 17
     
    Another FB idea, but this is not connected to the real facebook. I'm not sure classmates can interact with these "fake" profiles. Still, might be fun.
  • lars3969 on 25 Jul 17
     
    I can imagine using this after reading a book with a class - I could assign a character to each student and give them a situation to respond to. It might turn out something like this: https://thehairpin.com/texts-from-pride-and-prejudice-9508de842826
