This semester I have been on a three-week rotation with my level 2 classes and a 2-week rotation with my level 1 classes.
Level II
Week 1: Extr@ Episode loaded with PQA to introduce vocab, embedded readings, and in-depth readings, and a Comprehension/Analysis quiz.
Week 2: Chapter from a novel. Currently ¿Dónde está Eduardo?
Week 3: PQA/Story with homework to rewatch the episode of Extr@ to prepare for next week’s episode.
Level I is the same except for the novel. Besides Pobre Ana no other level 1 novels are exciting to me.
Next year in Spanish III I am going to do the same three week schedule and substitute Amazing Race in for Extr@ and do it all year. One episode every three weeks. Start reading novels and vignettes from House on Mango Street.
AP Spanish teachers want us to start incorporating commercials, news, and native-speed radio. I need to grasp my CI-style brain about how to best accommodate this request.
Same for Spanish II except Extr@ episodes 7-14(?) across the span of the year instead of Amazing Race.
…AP Spanish teachers want us to start incorporating commercials, news, and native-speed radio….
Tell them that they can’t have that. Kids can’t jump from the sidewalk to the top of a ten story building, either. They need to take the elevator. Tell these folks that it takes thousands of hours to get to native speed comprehension. They can’t ask you to do that now. They have figured out that you know something and they are trying to make you do their job. All you can do is prep the kids with CI as you have been so that they can easily pass the AP with a 3 in level 3. But that native speed request is just nuts, as we all know, so why don’t they know it?
