Thanks for the matrix! On a similar note, Katie Martin and I were talking about how much we'd like for our students to be aware of the ACTFL speaking standards, so that they can visualize where they are now and where they can realistically expect to be in the future. Arnold also said something during the bootcamp that I needed to hear: "If the students don't know where they're going, how will they know when they've arrived?" With that in mind, we created the attached chart, which we plan to have printed to poster size and hung in a prominent place in our rooms so that we can take some time to discuss during English week and refer to thereafter. Enjoy!

I hope that your first days back are filled with energy and excitement as the students come back to school! I have a present for all of you. I hope this finds you well. Keep in mind that this is in the first stages of being constructed, but even still, I hope that you find it useful. It is a matrix that lists the topics just like in the document that Darcy gave many of us at the bootcamp, but it has the functions along the top and has a key (legend) for how to code the text type so that you can make a really quick informal assessment of your students language abilities on different topics. Feel free to use this anyway that you would like. If you have any questions, please reply to this email so that we can have meaningful dialogue. Mis mejores deseos, Ricardo
