This seems like a stupid question but will ALL this be covered in the three day workshop?
See the asterisks. 🙂
CANNOT WAIT to see you Russ. Are you coming to the August 11 Day of Sharing too?
So as I read this it looks like that will all be covered but the asterisks will be the things that we will “have mastered” by the end of the workshop. Or is that all that will be covered? Sadly no I will not be there.
Well Russ, “mastery” is a big word. You will have confidence in using them. I believe mastery can only be achieved after using them with your personality, your body, with your kids, in your school setting, over some months or years. But we will demo and coach heavily into:
Beginning the Year –
Circling with Balls
One Word Images
Word Wall
TPR
Three Ring Circus
Super Mini Stories
Verb Slam Activity
Moving into Stories –
Scripted Stories
Emergent Stories
Ok perfect thanks! That’s a lot by itself that’s what I am saying. Oh Tina, can you send me the address of the church before next Tuesday so I can GPS it? Oh and that’s why master was in quotes ????
This is just what I needed because while I have FORGOTTEN EVERYTHING, my students have retained a ton (wow, did they retain!) after just a year of TPRS. I’m going to need to step it up, like, 5 minutes ago. I came here in a panic for just this post, and lo, miracles are everywhere. Thanks, eh.
Amanda, what is it that you want to step up? I have been basically living breathing and eating this beginning the year work for three solid weeks, so I am game to try my hand at answering any questions you have, and quick. Befriend me on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/tina.hargaden) and send me a message and I will be happy to help.
Haha… just, I’m finding that after incorporating a bunch of TPRS into my teaching year last year for the first time, my students have retained a lot more vocab and are coming to me sort of raring to go, compared to after my first year of teaching which was non-TPRS-infused. It’s a good “problem” to deal with, but it’s making me urgently rethink my ideas for starting the year. Of special importance was that I hadn’t realized how many sort of routine type things my students were used to for working in French, and I needed to find a way to onboard my beginners… One Word Images, which I hadn’t done exactly yet, is working well for this purpose this week. Friending you now 🙂
Hey
Hey Amanda! I am really interested in using more artists’ work this year. We go back in two weeks. I am planning to use the One Word Images to get characters that the class finds interesting, then launch into stories about those characters. This was the brainchild of Kathrin, and it meshed so beautifully with the Invisibles and creating stories based on the kids’ artwork that I cannot wait to see how it plays out. I see myself telling more, and better-quality, stories this year. Thanks for being my friend on Facebook. 😀
Not sure where to put this, but I learned about them at the workshop so this seems as good as anywhere.
Can you guys tell me which “stage directions” you use for your TPR and story dialogues? I’m setting up my word wall and stuff for class on Monday. I’m thinking slowly, quickly, loudly, softly, etc.
Thanks!
I too want to plan to use several good TPR words, like whisper, stomp, clap, shake, whistle… and other words describing actions kids can do in the classroom without getting out of hand. This is what you mean, right, Jeff? When you’re asking for good stage directions?
Maybe the “director’s cues” are what you are looking for?

or rather…

That is what I meant. Wow that’s a lot! I came up with about 15. Thanks!
