By the way I just started using Ben’s reading options which are on page 161 of The Big CI Book.
A colleague and I translated them to Spanish

It was funny in Spanish 1 I have kids that actually are not complete beginners and I asked for student volunteers to read for the class with one of the reading options. This student did “while drinking” and read the class-created story one sentence at a time while taking a sip of his water bottle after each line. The class was laughing at the end.
You know, I’m looking for ways to interact a little more when I read the co-narrated story to the class. Greg, thanks for sharing these reading options (or Director’s Cues?) and how you used them. This is what I’m thinking I will do, take 10 good dramatic reading options from Ben’s list there, write each one of them on a big card. Have a volunteer who wants to play choose from the cards and read a line in that mood/feeling, let’s say, romantically. Then I can offer for another volunteer to read with even more romantic emotion and have the class vote on whose was more dramatic.
Let’s see, without having really done this in class before, my top 10 dramatic cues from Ben’s list are:
romantically
sheepishly
with face scrunched
severely
while eating
like a king
like a clown
nervously
victoriously
in an embarrassed way
grumpy
mysteriously
sweetly
like a (insert animal here)
ok… that’s more than 10.
My favorite is “while bowing and making salutations”.
