Thinking About Student Work

My school recently hosted the NCISR New England Cluster Meeting. One of the sessions I attended in-between teaching and other duties was “Looking at Student Work.” One of the things I took away from the exercise was that I need to provide more opportunities for my students to play with the language they are learning. While I provide my students with a good structural base via a more traditional and direct approach to teaching, I also need to provide opportunities for collaboration, critical thinking, choice, and creativity.

So, in these final weeks, I am going to strive to provide more opportunities for the student to create with the language. To that end, I just ordered a bunch o’ materials from Teachers Pay Teachers.

    • Hi, Alice!

      I hope all is well with you and your family. ¡Feliz Día de Madre! :)

      I have ordered many curriculum materials from Teachers Pay Teachers over the past several years. In fact, I made my first purchase on 28 May 2008. I have found resources from the following vendors on several occasions, and consider their materials to be amongst the best I’ve ordered, and would recommend highly: Jos76, Spark Enthusiasm, and Foreign Language House.

      Anyway, my most recent purchases include the following:

      Speaking Activity with Reflexive Verbs
      Spanish Sports and Activities – Go Fish
      Spanish Writing Activity – Stem Changing Verbs: Writing Confidence
      Spanish Stem Changing Verbs Activity – Magic Squares
      Spanish Stem Changing Verb Writing Packet: Forms and Sentences
      Spanish -AR Verbs Partner Activities: Speak, Read, Listen and Write

      • Marcy, thank you for your reply. I didn’t know this Teachers Pay Teachers website but I am going to have a look at it, it seems to be a very useful one and all the resources you mentioned sound great! Thank you for pointing this out :) I hope you are well too and you have recovered from your injury.
