Hi JoAnna- Lisa and I do 2-3 days. For us it includes - a survey / debrief / discussion of the first week(s) - brainstorm norms for the class and establish as a group - Syllabus - ACTFL PPT (attached the one we use) - OWL PPT / discussion (haven't finished our new one) - Comprehension exercises: we read an article in portuguese and talk about how they could still understand parts of it, they read an article in English with 2/3 of the words blacked out and we talk about how they can still understand it. Point is they DON'T need to understand everything that is going on... - TED Talk(s): How we learn, Think twice &Speak Once, and Speak from Day One - Goal Setting Hope that helps. :) Tess On Thu, Sep 12, 2013 at 10:41 AM, Hannah Pratt <hannahpratt@xxxxxxxxx>wrote: > hi joanna, > > i do just one day: i show the powerpoint explaining the OWL method & > outlining the ACTFL proficiency levels, and we set goals. then we go over > the syllabus. this year i did it over 2 days, with each day 1/2 spanish (at > the beginning) and 1/2 english. > > cheers, > hannah > > > On Thu, Sep 12, 2013 at 10:14 AM, JoAnna Coleman <joannac@xxxxxxx> wrote: > >> Hola OWLers - how many days do you dedicate to doing English week >> stuff? >> Gracias! >> >> JoAnna Coleman >> Spanish Teacher >> Wilson High School >> 503-916-5280 ext. 75231 >> joannac@xxxxxxx >> http://profecoleman.wordpress.com/ >> >> ------------------------------ >> >> >
