In the past few weeks I have incorporated the Gallery Walk idea and have enjoyed the results. A few weeks ago after students learned the future tense and while working on the theme Technology and Science, students worked with a partner to create their own technological device and described it. The next day students hung up their inventions around the room and students received the gallery walk paper and for 30 minutes walked around answering questions about the different inventions. I gave them two choices to look at for each question so if too many people were at one invention, they could check out the other instead and answer for that one.
Invento Inolvidable Intro PowerPoint I used prior to giving project - allow for discussion, see inventions, etc. YouTube video link on speculations of what other companies think technology will be link

Gallery Walk Paper - students answered questions on own paper
Yesterday as a review activity for the students' upcoming listening and reading test, I printed off the slides from the below PowerPoint and hung them around the room. Students responded on their warmup calendar. If it was a reading, they could look at the reading on the paper on wall and answer the question. If it was a video, I had it on my website and they used their phones to view the video. Since many students connect to the WiFi at our school and YouTube is blocked, I downloaded the YouTube videos using RealPlayer Downloader, trimmed them to the length I wanted using RealPlayer Trimmer and uploaded the files to my website. The students had headphones so they could listen at their own pace. I was squeezed for time so for the 7 questions, I only gave them 15 minutes and we went over the answers. I put the PowerPoint on my website so students who wanted to review the ones they didn't get to could do that to prepare for the exam.

I found both times I did the gallery walk students were focused and enjoyed the variety of being out of their seats to perform a task.
Next year for the Gallery Walk for the projects, I think I will have student write a reaction in Spanish on a piece of paper/or on the chalkboard next to each project. I gave students this list of Reactions to help them sound more authentic and I want to incorporate them more and more into the lessons.
Martina Bex has some other great ideas for using Gallery Walks in the LOTE class!
