Casi Casi is a great comedy to show, if you're looking for something
age-appropriate and sub-appropriate as well. It's Puerto Rican and about a
group of high schoolers who rig a student body election at school.
Reading assignments can be tricky for lower levels with a sub.
In addition to leaving a sub plan, I leave a kid plan too that each student
must check off and staple to their work before turning it in to the sub.
With a reading, I will have them do a lot of different steps and mark off each
as they go
First, pre-reading questions and/or drawings;
In text, high light cognates, circle new words, underline all words related
to...food, etc..., write a question mark where there is confusion, a smiley
face for parts they like, write the number of the question where you find the
answer, etc...
and post-reading comprehension questions, T/F, personal questions using
vocabulary from story and/or drawings.
Drawings work best for subs since there is less room for misinterpretation than
with a list of comprehension questions and it gives students a way to show how
much they actually understand about the story. And most kids like to draw! :) I
usually leave out the colored pencils or markers, as well.
Some ideas are: make a story board or comic strip of the story
pre: what is a typical/stereotypical vampire look like? post: how is the
vampire in the story different?
draw a picture of the main character, setting, etc...

Subject: [ola] Sub plans - help!
Hello all,
I'm going to be away for 3 days next week at ACTFL. I'm struggling
with what to leave my kids with. I would rather not show a movie, but
could definitely do that I suppose. I would love for them to do a
reading assignment but without me there to help, I wonder about how
productive they'll be. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
Thanks! Anyone else going to ACTFL?
Heidi
