Hi Ben,
From Keri:
I have a question. I watched all of Adriana Ramirez’s videos and I really like the idea of the additional step she added in between the TPRS verbal story and the written. She added the step of “skits”. The students have a little class time to recreate the story and make it their own by adding in their own characters, details, etc but by maintaining the same plot. She also has the students use the 1st and 2nd person in those presentations. So, I am at that point and would like my students to create their own presentations. (By the way, the student don’t write anything down…they should have acquired enough vocabulary through PQA and storytelling at this point). My question is how should I grade those presentations? I will not grade them on grammar…this much I know. If anyone has any ideas or some kind of rubric, that would be great!
Thank you!
