Happy Birthday to my 1st Spanish teacher, my beautiful Ecuadorian wife Maria. We met at 20 yrs old in Guayaquil. I didn’t speak Spanish, she didn’t speak English and now we both work in schools using those languages! I love our story+this chica for eternity. #THANKYOUECUADOR

I use TPR because it is instant CONTEXT, makes students move, 110% boosts proficiency+students LOVE it. When new verbs start adding up, I make chants/raps with the TPR because “Movement turns the brain on to pay attention.” Angela Hanscom #TPRLife #instantcontext

Take Away/“Quitar” Game.Swipe+take board only if what I say is true. You can only swipe when I say “vamos” so watch out for me tricking you! Touch board+statement is false, lose a point, touch board before I say “vamos”, lose a point. Game to 5. This game brings the energy!

“Typical Error” number 6. With students throwing around so much language, we need to fine-tune some common mistakes. This awareness empowers students because they begin to self-correct themselves. Of course I turn it into a chant! “Two verbs back to back, second verb ends in r”.

"Interactive input". We really get into it bc we're allowing words to stick. I use TPR, 0 translations, comprehension checks+prompt students to use the lang immediately. Students will use the words they hear us say so we must pass the baton+let them speak!

How I wish I could go back with the in-laws because as they say… “All you need is Ecuador.”

@MmeFarab I started using Google Sites last year for speaking files. Students create their own site and upload different samples/personal records from fun tasks. Can add so many things to create a digital portfolio. Was very powerful for self assessment and celebrate/demo/growth.
