Hello all!
This is my first time on the PLC and I can see it has tons of great information. This question is unrelated to Ben’s post, but I wasn’t sure where to start.
I am teaching a Spanish 4 class that is new to TPRS, although the students are pretty strong overall. I want to start doing free writes with them. What should my time and number of words goals be for this level?
Thank you!
Hi, Darcie. Welcome to the PLC. You’re right, there is a lot of great information, discussion, and debate. I hope you, like many of us, find that this is truly your Professional Learning Community.
To answer your question, on the right side of the page, scroll down past the Recent Comments and Recent Posts sections to the Categories. Find “Freewrites” and click. This will take you to a number of articles discussing free writes.
Here’s a link to get you started: http://www.benslavic.com/blog/free-writes/
Among other things, it refers you to a Rules poster that you can share with your students.
Hope this helps.
