It has been a looong time! I have been busy (like all of you) with the start of the new school year. I have a fabulous group of Spanish 3 students this year, and I just wish I had a few more hours to my day so I could share all the great stuff my students are up to...
I continue to use my homework system. I really love it & I think my students benefit from it. This year it feels like MORE of my students are doing MORE meaningful things with the vocabulary assignments. I had a student who follows politics do a political spoof on Goanimate using vocabulary from our lesson. I had another student write a short story about the Mario video game, using the vocabulary in a very imaginative way. I have two (good) rappers that amaze me with their songs, usually performed live in the classroom (I'll try & tape one soon). Today I want to feature one special student (Matt R) who is taking photos of the vocabulary and creating a story with them. Here is the link to the photos he took, using vocabulary from 4A of Realidades 2 text. I hope to use this photo-story to explain and practice imperfect & then compare preterit vs imperfect.
How is your year going? I would love to hear from you if you have tried this vocabulary homework in class.
