What do you all think about having one English day a week (or a part of
that one day a week), especially toward the beginning of the year for
Spanish 1 classes? My school has so much housekeeping kind of stuff to do
through my first hour classes and I'm new (less than a year) doing OWL. I
have tried  it - jueves ingles I call it  - and we debrief, watch a TED
talk, discuss, make sure they know what the week's expectation is for
homework, etc. I started off all in Spanish for the first week. I have
middle schoolers.
