Here is another version, thanks to one of you which I added to! And the 4 pt verb sheet from Nanosh. Last year I had students do a two slide ppt with the sheet and the second sheet was pictures and use of the verb in context. It was quite fun and provided not only for students to share their interests, but gave us lots of hooks and conversations as well.

I still have a few kids who tell me that they can't circumlocute and are shy about participating. This will really help them. Andrew- Last year, someone on on the listserve created a list of useful circumlocution starters. I made them bigger, printed them out on colorful cardstock, and have put them around my room. I teach different levels, so some are a little more advanced, but you could easily sort out the more advanced ones only post the simple ones for now, then add others as the year goes on. If I were to do it again, I would use different colors for easy, med and adv ones. You could also do a lesson with one, where they practice it first, then add it to the wall. Not all of the kids use these yet, but I have seen many kids looking around and using some of them when they are stuck.

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. http://prezi.com/c9sz0hgigl0e/la-circunlocucion/# Dan Call Franklin Pierce High School From: ola-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ola-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew Van Wagenen Sent: Saturday, November 02, 2013 1:53 PM To: ola@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 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. Responses can be sent to andrew.vanwagenen@xxxxxxxxx Thanks everyone!
