Having several go to no prep or low prep activities that take 10 min but can stretch to 20. 2 faves that come 2 mind = Circumlocution game w a list of terms for 3 min x 3 ppl & Summary strategy (a log of what happened in class that we write together: date, time, weather, mood, activities, etc)

Build proficiency & community with ready-to-implement activities, including my Summary Strategy and unique approach to Star of the Day, as well as exercises that teach grammar in context and promote connection. Join me for a full-day workshop on teaching for proficiency, no matter the circumstance!

Learn techniques that give students the repeated exposure to and understanding of the language structures that they need, while at the same time leaving room for student voice.

How can we teach for proficiency even if our curriculum is linked to a sequence of isolated grammar topics? This workshop equips teachers with strategies that can work with any curriculum. #wlteach #proficiency

it can be anything (but something accessible since they won’t have us to guide them thru it during summer months), but for the school yr, yes! I wld love more lit ideas!

Haha so true, esp w Google drive! it’s hard to keep straight all the files that live in there!

Alejandro and Viviana are a 2 part series; old school! my school has used them off & on forever! Ale has a magical 💍 that lets him go on a whirlwind tour of 🇪🇸 history, Vivi is same premise in 🇲🇽. 20ish chapters, 4-5 pgs, all the historical & cultural highlights told thru fun stories…

What level did they read these in?

Yesss!! Had the privilege of dining with @esme at @actfl.bsky.social thank you for reminding me abt this resource!

Thank you so much! I think we’ve decided on Viviana y su gran aventura, do u know it? We picked it 4 a few reasons, but one is admin needs the title by tomorrow so not enough time to vet unread books. But I will check out your suggestions! want to get back into FVR. Thanks again!

Thanks so much! I need to give a title to my dept head by Wednesday I just found out

I’m currently looking at some of @brycehedstrom suggestions for summer reading from a freebie doc I found online but he’s got a huge range it’s hard to narrow down! Would love any suggestions you might have! Thanks!

It really can be anything! a short novel would be ideal…

So real, I had this this weekend (and now) due to being backed up w grading #teacherpressure

Well I already found a lil typo! Should be “vieron” - but still! They loved it!

I want that
