 * **Celebrations & Concerns:**

> > We are taught throughout the methods and seminar class the same principles. Giving feedback in that way helps us to solidify the processes of teaching. > Principles of good teaching in a lesson shoudl be applied to feedback b/c it is a lesson > Teacher-centered feedback v. you engage me it is student-centered and effective > > Activate Prior Knowledge w/ guiding question - Asking how it went > Contextualization - What went well/how do it differently next time - Still in the experience, but next step > Focus on Meaning - What does this mean to you (process feelings/frustrations)? As teaching progresses > Focus on Form - Nitty gritties of teaching strategies, crm mgt, instructions, strategies, assessments > Focus on Communication - Back and forth - generating solutions from st-tchr and my experiences > Assessment - Rubric - How would you grade your own teaching? > Closure - Go out and remember positive things and set goals > Homework - Goals > > > Teacher-centered v. student-centered > Interpersonal Communication > Culture > Interactivity > Transitions > Management > How did I react to students' behavior? > Am I validating my own and my students' feelings? > Am I being positive with myself? > Am I smiling? > Was I invested and excited to teach this lesson today?
 * Questions: Anybody have any communicative activity ideas for past participles and present perfect? user:sraluz
 * Just an FYI Cantinflas: I looked up Cantinflas on youtube and there are videos that are enriched with culture and have great themes/topics. Also, they are usually based in comedies. I used a clip about crossing the border. Cantinflas is the 'Charile Chaplin' of Mexico and his movies are hilarious. They are older but fantastic for many topics. user:sraluz

 * Emergency situations: [[file:Feb 29 Lesson Plan Llamado de Emergencia.doc]]Using Daddy Yankee's song and music video "Llamado de emergencia" as the basis of teaching, I taught about car accidents and was able to teach most of the vocabulary. The lesson plan contains a few activities that we did practicing "haber" and describing accident scenes. It worked out really well and perhaps will be helpful for others in the future. user:sraluz
 * [[file:Lesson Plan Heroes.doc]]This is the lesson plan i used to discuss natural disasters. I related it to everyday heroes in the community and used a variety of current event links (videos and articles) to support the lesson. It's amazing what you find by just googling "heroes comunes" or something like that. user:sraluz
 * Here is the link to the Tomatina video: []user:Hollilg
 * Spanish 2: we recently covered places in the home, chores (arreglar la sala, pasar la aspiradora, poner la mesa, preparar la cena) and phrases like tengo que, prefiero, quiero, tengo ganas de, as well as places such as visitar el museo, ir de compras al mercado, ir al zoologico, etc. The students then prepared skits showing how a family gets together on a Saturday to do chores and some people want to go out and play but have to do chores first. They were required to use at least 3 chores per person and also explain the plans that they have. The students had such a good time and there was some really good humor. They definitely needed some scaffolding and could have been forewarned at the beginning of the unit instead of at the end, but I was laughing right along with the students. user:sraluz
 * Spanish 1: I used the instructions on Mision Verbosible.pptx with the ten sentences from detectivo.doc to help students learn about er/ir in a deductive manner[[file:Dectectivo ir,er.docx]][[file:Misión Verbosible.pptx]] p.s. I played the themesong while we did this activity;) user:bmslloyd


 * Spanish 1 El tiempo Bingo: Teach the vocab first doing some TPR style teaching with a short paragraph about the words and having the students do actions as you say the words. Have the students make a 3x3 grid on a paper and fill them in with the different weather vocab. Teach about the differences in weather in different hemispheres. Show them the videos and have them listen and watch for the vocab. They will put markers on their bingo paper as they watch the videos.

 * Spanish 3: To practice commands I had the students create a treasure hunt within the school. We set up the rules and then divided the students into 6 groups. Each group was required to write 10 commands- 6 positive, 4 negative. These commands were directions of how to arrive to a destination within the school. To see if they arrived to the destination, there was a question that the students had to answer. The first three groups got to go out on the hunt first while the other three did a worksheet on commands. Then they switched. They had about 7 minutes to complete the treasure hunt. It was super fun and getting closer to a meaningful activity. user:sraluz[[file:Treasure Hunt Commands.docx]][[file:Treasure hunt destinations.docx]]
 * Classroom management-- since we have had some issues in the classroom, we decided to take the day to present our new "[[file:Spanish I behavior rubric.docx]]" and talk about the rules and why I am in the classroom. I want to share the rubric with you, please let me know what you think, do you think this could help the students' behaviour in the class? user:liligee

About motivation and rewards: great presentation: [|the surprising truth about what motivates us] from The Office: [|Alfie Kohn vs Dwight Schrute]user:saritalinda

If you are doing a lot of conjugating, it's nice to always have blank verb trees for the students to fill in and stay organized. Here is a simple template with lots of blank trees.

-Alissa's disclosure document...a diamond in the rough


 * user:eddingtona Should this be the whole story or just a note to self to share in class? So... note to self: Talk about teaching Cassy for her test + the discipline plan for Gui. Also, concern: Target language while tutoring + around-the-class monitoring. (Note to self, or a story title that identifies the topic is probably best user:chericem1)
