6 thoughts on “How We Will Teach Some Day”
I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Thanks , Ben.
However, I am hijacking the response thread for a moment:
I just finished and uploaded three Slides presentations about the soccer leagues in Germany, France, and Spain respectively. They are available at my website. I would appreciate it if some people stop by and let me know if anything needs fixing. Thanks!
Just in case someone doesn’t remember, the website is at http://www.compellinginput.net
And the new materials are under the tab “Free Stuff”.
I think I finally have given you all the information you need.
In the beginning of the year, I was directing, teaching explicitly “this word means this in english”. I was stiff, “professional” and structured. Now that Spring fever has arrived, I have been using much more of the kids as content. The kids do not know what will happen next AND they are on the edge of their seats.
What changes have I done? the 25 minute story challenge with a live artist, typist and prof 2 and actors.
I also added the Special Person interview who answers questions related to the stories we have already done.
AND… ::surprise:: I have done PQA on Mondays and it is not awkward. Instead of trying to get reps my goals are centered around adding DETAIL and communication.
I will try soon to have non-targeted PQA and have the kids create the structures — we’ll do three new terms maximum and I will just have a quiz at the end.
One anecdote: a kid was playing with a sticky hand and it stuck on the ceiling. Yes, I marked him down, he knew but it wasnt a big deal. He tried and tried to take it down with various inventions during our brain break. Then the next day, it was falling ever so slowly — A teachable moment.
“It falls”, “it falls slowly”, “class, does it fall fast?” “Non!” Class, does it fall romantically?” “C’est ridicule!” “oh non! Here it comes” “it fell!”
Sticky hand as a teachable moment! You’re too cute.
I LOVED reading this Steven!!
with love,
Laurie
