Drew,
I taught circumlocution strategies to my students a couple of weeks ago, and it
went fairly well. I put together this prezi that you'd be welcome to use. It
sets them up with some basic categories for circumlocution, and then gives them
the chance to practice, first with a script, then without. Hope this helps out.

Subject: [ola] Teaching words/phrases for circumlocution and for staying in
spanish.
Hello all,
As a first year teacher and also my first year implementing OLA I'm fighting an
uphill battle of having the expectation that my Span 1 and Span 2 classes stay
in Spanish for 90 minutes. I want to give them some more tools/strategies to
help them stay in Spanish. Does anyone have any positive ways to support kids
speaking spanish or any phrases or ways of teaching circumlocution so they just
don't blurt out things in Spanish.
Is requiring 90 minutes of Spanish from YR 1 students too much? What has been
other's experiences. With participation and language use being 40% of their
grade I feel like i'm constantly having negative interaction with kids because
i'm docking them points for using english in class.
