Activities

Reflections are a great way to get kids thinking about their learning. And this metacognition can help students be more prepared for academic challenges.

PictureTalk is a great way to scaffold your story-asking until you are more comfortable with the process or as a fun activity to switch up and replace your story-asking every once in a while to keep things fresh!

MovieTalks are a great way to provide comprehensible input to your students. They scaffold the story-asking process for teachers and kids love them. Today I’ll talk about the 5 steps to a successful MovieTalk lesson that you can use in multiple levels.

Silent reading is a great way to start your class period, as a class warm-up. It's so integral to my class, that we do it at least 3 times per week if not more!

Creating a class mascot is a fun activity for both you and your students. Once you have this mascot created, it can be used over and over again in story after story. Join us and learn how you and your students can make your own class mascot!

Show & tell is a great activity that allows students to show who they are while using the target language in a less stressful way. It's also a great way to build classroom community.
