As I get ready to meet my students on Tuesday and face the challenge of new
beginnings, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who
has sent ideas, lessons, insights, clarifications, etc. to help us. Everything
helps somehow even what we are not going to use.
I am ready to embrace uncertainty an immediacy.
My agradecida,
Delina

Antonio,
Lisa and I have spent hours and hours on this topic AND deal with the
requirements from HB2220 that essentially does not let us grade participation,
or that's how it's being interpreted here. Here's a photo of what we came up
with so far... Hope it helps, T

Dear OWLers:)
My Spanish Department is having a very difficult time trying to come up with
PERCENTAGES to break down the students' grades....so far we have:
45% daily language engagement (homework, warmups,Active participation,)
15% final exam
10% Se motivado/Cultural Experiences
30% Assessments (written, speaking,journal entries)
Can some of you share how you are breaking down your categories please!?---My
Spanish and French Department really want to institute OWL/OLA 100% this year,
and we are trying to stay aligned with our grading...any thoughts would be
appreciated:)
Gracias!
Antonio

I would recommend an activity like this where you are looking at building
comprehension & interacting and connecting to the text. Remember you're trying
to stay away from using songs to practice grammar...be looking at songs as a
way for students to interact with the language.

I am going to use the activities from Embodying Literacy (hey Annie ;-) ) to
teach songs before we listen to them. I think that will be a very powerful way
of building comprehension and connection to the text that the class is
observing.

I like that idea :-). Students can invent their own content.

We sing everyday in class - I incorporate the daily song into the OWL format
sometime during the class period - sometimes we play musical chairs while
singing, or use the song for Smoosh! or sing in a circle while doing something
(ie. send the clap, swaying, moving in and out like the tide), we play "don't
forget the lyrics" or combine singing with gestures.
We'll also watch the video without sound and one partner will describe what
they see to another who isn't looking at screen, then watch all together and
sing. Dance offs can be fun, too.
I am going to try a modified version of the embedding literacy activity we did
with Annie with songs this year as well

I think the key is to make sure that everyone practices singing it as a class.
They need to risk singing aloud even though they fear they can't sing or "don't
have a voice." Singing in a group is powerful, fun, and can help build
community. You might give one quarter of the class verse 1, another verse 2,
another verse 3, and another the chorus. Or let everyone join in on the chorus.
Perhaps you ask one of the dancers in class to choreograph some moves and then
teach the class his/her steps.
You might also ask them to develop a storyboard for their own music video to
the song, or to craft a lyrics book, puppet show, live theatrical presentation,
lo que sea.
Singing with my class has become one of the greatest joys of teaching for
me...and I am not one who looks to sing solo or even in public, but with
students in the classroom it's a real pleasure.
Suerte con las canciones.

Hi everyone,
I'm doing my música miércoles (music Wednesday) this year with OWL... AH! This
morning I had one tough class and one decent one with a Juanes song and am
wondering what kinds of things people have tried.
Thanks!!!
Heidi
P.S. First day was GREAT! :) Thank you all for being so supportive.
