I think that those pictures of the question words just clutter. I am into extreme simplicity now so that if a question word is needed I write it down fresh behind me on the board, each time it comes up. In this way I am forced to go more slowly in my overall instruction.
Before, I would laser pointer and move fast to the rest of the sentence. No laser pointer at all this year. The big change, besides the green glasses, is so much open space in front of me for walking slowly around from rule to board to structure to actor to student, pointing out each one (person or object) as I go.
Even kids with a French background appreciate it. I appreciate it because I feel much more understood. My barometers really appreciate it. I learned this in MN – the importance of walking to a word while the other soaks in a little. Walking to the word – I like walking to the beauty of the word.
