----- Original Message ----- From: "Elana Rechtman" <elana@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Encouraging students to converse in English I would use the old fashioned methods of "Say with me" (choral speech) - or "I say and then you say" (The old "heder" method - "kamatz aleph - ah") or using a little bit of a "beat" to the sentence. The book "Jazz chants for children" by Carolyn Graham is excellent for simple, everyday speech in a light rap form. Good luck.
