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
