2 thoughts on “The Kids Teach The Class”
I have a kid who is my dictado typer. It just kind of happened. He sits at my desk and types up the dictado as the class dictates it to him. I stand at the front with my big ruler and just kind of… watch. I ask things like “why is this subjunctive” “why is there an accent mark here” “why is this actuaba and not actuó”.
It’s kind of fun watching the entire class yell letter-by-letter how to spell a word.
The kid knows I’m still in charge, though.
This is something new, Drew. We are both seeing classes want to work together without our direct involvement in a way that we haven’t seen before. Something is happening. It’s neat. I think in my case it’s very much connected to the jobs.
When we get how much the kids want to be acknowledged in some way in a group, we will see more new things. As per Krashen, being an accepted member of a group opens doors to new things.
