   I love this idea! How do you stay within the desired time, though, if you do these? I struggled a lot with keeping it in the allotted time.

   Of course this idea was thought of long before the new push to 25 minute stories. But I like it so much I wanted to include it in this list of cute ideas, which will eventually become a bite size book. My answer would be that we can include these things at times and not at others, depending on the story. Ours is an imperfect science and there are no rules at the end of the day except to deliver comprehensible input to our students in the most enjoyable ways possible for them. On some days this means including a transportation scene or an en route event, and on others perhaps not. This fact about our work underscores how truly intuitive this work is.
   Sorry I missed you in Portland, Dana! Maybe see you next summer! Plus, I’m coming to India sometime this year but not Delhi.

      I would have liked to catch up with you. Depending on where you’re headed in India, maybe we could meet up.

   Recently on the Facebook group someone made reference to “The New Book on CALP by Tina”. What is this book and where can I purchase it?
