I made a slide show for kids about “active participation” (in Spanish). You can download as .doc or pdf it from: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/moretprs/files/Participation/ It’s called “Durante Cuentos Orales.” Someone translated it into French, I’m not sure who. Ben
I have a clip by my door with the Administrator’s Checklist on it. Whenever an administrator does more than stick his head in the door, I ask him to take a copy and go through it. Then I make a point of going to the administrator later and thanking him for coming to my room. This opens the door to a casual conversation about what is going on and why.
I can’t find the Administrator’s checklist – can someone provide a link? Thanks!
Here is the link to the PDF for the administrator checklist.

Libby! It’s Jake (aka Fuego)! I stumbled upon your name somehow in searching for something. I just recently joined the PLC! I’m getting back into high school Spanish teaching after 9 years! I’m in Kansas City now! I realize this is 8 years old, but I hope you’re doing well and that you’re still doing comprehensible input! Would love to catch up to see how things are going! Un poulet roti!
Hey Ben,
Did you ever get Linda’s rules from Annick Chen?
Thanks!
1a. Nothing on desk (which really freaks out the middle school 4%er kids when they realize that their tool for being superior has suddenly been taken away and the playing field is now even.)
1b. No notetaking (1a and 1b are basically the same thing but Annick insisted that I tell you both separately and I see why. (not only no backpacks or anything else on desk, but also no notebooks, which is so counter to everything they have learned. Again, it makes clear what this class is about – listening.)
2. Don’t repeat or translate anything I say.
3. Signal me when you don’t understand (I do the big arm swing with the fist, Linda does the rain coming down move.)
4. Everything I say is interesting. (so say “ohhh!” or something like that in reaction to everything I say.)
I think Linda is in Denver right now so maybe I can track her down and make sure that these are correct.
