Discussion of Classroom Management

Teaching in the Target Language

Suggestions for assessment: frequency of quizzes, when to grade homework if not always, frequency of tests, etc. How to manage writing lesson plans for multiple level classes at a time. Just how to manage the first few days of a Spanish 1 class. This is just something that has been on my mind. Classroom management tips for a Spanish class How to establish classroom management procedures in the target language. How to use technology in a school district with very limited funds.
 * Today's (DISCUSSION) Topics:**
 * //Post topics you'd like us to discuss here.//**
 * How to write a test!**

I'd like to do demo teaching with a focus on Spanish I because it is the most difficult level to teach while only speaking Spanish. It could be simple things like **explaining a game or worksheet**, or it could be more complicated like **teaching a lesson on grammar or vocabulary**. Using one of the new technology websites, just explaining very simple how to use it and make sure all students get what the outcome of each activity. I'd like to do some more lesson planning to get myself used to making them as well as to find more materials I can use in my future classroom. I'd like to practice giving instructions for a technology-based activity in the target language (i.e. Giving students an assignment to create an online poster about a certain topic.) See a demonstration of what to do on the very first day of class in Spanish 1..
 * Today's Activities (DO):**
 * //Post activities you want to demo teach in class here.//**

Best sources to go to for worksheets/in class activities ideas? Agreed, I've been looking on line, but haven't found any I really love yet. Best sources for buying flags, posters, Spanish signs, etc. to go around the classroom? What are some good routines to have in a classroom (such as to start/end a class or other ideas)? Best sources for finding authentic realia (daily objects).
 * Today's Burning (QUESTIONS):**
 * //Post questions you'd like help answering here.//**

[|www.quia.com] This website is used by a teacher at a class I'm observing in. I believe you have to pay to use it, not sure how much, but you can then create an account for each of your classes. Your students create an account and when they sign in there are different activities and reviews available. The teacher gets a report of who entered the site and what they did. I don't know if the teacher sees the results or creates the activities or not. [|Spanishear] I like this website because it has a lot of video clips of native Spanish speakers answering questions about themselves about certain topics. I think it'd be great for Spanish I students. It also gives them an idea of the different dialects that exist in the Spanish speaking world. //Audacity// and //Garage Band//. Downloadable music software programs. GarageBand comes standard on some Apple products. I've used these sources for making, mixing and creating music, but I think they can be used for any sort of speaking and listening project in a foreign language, too. For instance, students could speak the words of a Spanish poem (one that they wrote, or a previously written one) as lyrics to a song. Then they can add and mix in a variety of Latin rhythms and instruments to make it more culturally authentic.
 * Today's Tools (SHARE):**
 * //Post pedagogical strategies, resources, teaching tips, technology tools, or video clips you want to share here.//**

Solver, [] is a really cool website that I explored. I think it would be a great idea to create a page for one homework assigment and if the students had problems or questions they could work it out over the only posting board without signing in to anything, they just need the link. I honestly think it would have been helpful in some of my classes here at byu.
