7 Low Prep Ways to Use Task Cards in the World Language Classroom - Super Senora I first stumbled upon task cards while looking at some awesome elementary classrooms on Instagram. Although I teach at the secondary level, I love to look at elementary classrooms for inspiration. Their activities are engaging and everything always looks so bright and inviting. I was intrigued by task cards because they are highly engaging. Unicornio Malo/Bad Unicorn - Profe Peplinski Don't forget to check out the extension activities at the end of the FAQ section. Two music videos, and a lyric sheet, plus suggested activities. Unicornio Malo/Bad Unicorn Unicornio Malo (Bad Unicorn) is an elementary version of the popular game Mafia. I was inspired to try this by the amazing Martina Bex. Martina has a wonderful explanation of this game on her blog, here, that is appropriate for older students, and if you know the directions for this game, my version is very similar.

Paris: A Novice Unit and IPA - Madame's Musings Based on social media posts from my virtual colleagues, it seems that many of us are ending the year with a unit on Paris for our French 1 students. In my case, I found that this unit was a great way to bring in some vocabulary for places in a city and transportation. In addition, the students are gaining important knowledge about a city that many of them will have an opportunity to visit at one time in their lives. Because I think it’s very important for the students to become familiar with various attractions in Paris, I began this unit with a series of learning stations designed to introduce the students to the tourist attractions they might visit on a trip to Paris. Although these stations are based on authentic resources that I have accumulated over the years (and can’t realistically share here), I’ve included a quick explanation of each station.

Daily Class Structure A teacher, Hannah, wanting to follow her school’s “opening traditions” every class period, but her students quickly bored with it. I have the perfect solution for her!

Elimination: The TCI game of all games I cannot believe that I have never blogged about this game before. I have a tendency to exaggerate, but I really don’t think that I am exaggerating when I say that this is the MOST beneficial, MOST engaging, and MOST awesome game that a Comprehension-based teacher can play. Don’t believe me?

What’s on your shelves? In 2017, I created Diversify Your Bookshelf, a small Facebook group where parents, librarians and educators exchange about (mostly English) children books. I wanted to share my passion for books and connect with other adults who are committed to increasing the amount of mirrors, windows, and sliding glass doors for their kids at home, at school, and in the community. As I continue to increase representation through the texts I present to my students, I thought it may be useful to share what books are sitting on my classroom bookshelves at this point in time. Teaching Spanish Made Easy Teaching Resources I started teaching Spanish as a second language 12 years ago in an IB school in Chicago. I was fortunate to work in many different roles within my school as well as in the IB organization. This global experience has enabled me to reconnect with why I became a teacher and the greater role it plays in society; it also turned me into a writer. Since I had a difficult time finding appropriate reading materials for my middle school students, I ventured with my pen into the world of storytelling. It worked. I discovered the power of reading as goes the title of Stephen Krashen’s book.

Jamboard templates for articles, authentic resources and novels – Maris Hawkins I have been wanting to take some time to play around with Jamboard- one of the apps on Google. I have made a few this or that activities on winter traditions and the Super Bowl. One of my favorite features is how easy they are to edit! My students (especially my fifth and sixth graders) were able to do this quickly- much faster than Google Drawings- which I was using for a similar activity.
