My feeling is stick with owl and they will see what the kids can really do and
they'll have to adjust. But, that's just me.

thinking that as we get to the end of the unit and when kids are ready for
their oral interviews, that I will do an explanation of reflexive verbs, etc...
some kids really want this, too, they feel like they are "learning" when they
get a grammar explanation because they are able to talk about language (but not
necessarily use it)

Hi JoAnna,
I have the same problema. Most of my kids are off to the 2 schools in the area
who have not adopted this program. I am guilty of falling into more English
sessions to explain the grammar but I feel as though it impedes their actual
acquisition pace. I am not sure what the answer is. Anyone else out there
have the same problem?

Feliz dia de los muertos!
So, how do you all align your classes with other teachers who are not teaching
the OWL method? I am concerned that next year my students will get to 3rd year
without the appropriate grammatical vocabulary the teacher expects (ie. what's
the preterite? what's a gerund?, commands?, stem-changing verbs?, reflexives?,
etc...) I am confident they will be able to use these grammatical concepts in
context, but won't be able to talk about them. I feel pressured to directly
teach them these terms just to make sure they don't feel unprepared when these
topics come up next year.
What are you thoughts on this?
