I have been meaning to blog about this all month and finally getting to this!
My coworker , Irene, and I had the pleasure of presenting at the Region 13 LOTE Institute on March 3rd. There was such a wonderful group of LOTE teachers from all over the region and it was so great to attend a few sessions and present!
In the morning, we attended Tina Dong's session on Interactive Notebooks. I loved how she broke down the right and left side of the notebook and gave many examples for activities specifically for second language class.
Next, we attended Brooke Maudlin's session on Circling It Up! I loved how she modeled putting students in a circle to open up communication and the ideas to get the kids communicating and transitions to keep them focused. Many teachers from our district have had the opportunity to go to a Organic World Language Workshop and it has inspired Brooke to incorporate these strategies.
In the afternoon, Irene and I presented two sessions back to back on Balancing the Modes. This year Irene and I have started our journey of creating lessons focusing on balancing the 3 modes of communication while using the ACTFL Can Do Statements as objectives. We shared our experiences, activities, authentic resources and technology tools as well as shared in detail two lessons we planned and implemented this year.
