    What if you chose your authentic resources first and then used them to develop a vocabulary list? #langchat

  • magisterb480 Jan 10 @ 8:16 PM EST
    It’s very Latin specific but if you got good ideas for CI-ifying passive periphrastics and gerundives I’m happy to hear ideas #gettingkidsreadyforcawnyexaminjune #langchat

    #langchat We have been proficiency based for over 5 years now so they have been evolving anyway. Now, just being more intentional and solidifying. Analyzing what we have and do to be sure it is what we intend!

    Themselves and others, like friends and family. Not sure how to make self better yet. Last year at the end of describing others I used Black M le plus fort du monde and then had them describe their plus fort du monde. Will probably use that as a focus again? #langchat

    This is a really good question and I really need to figure this one out #langchat
    In reply to @mmeshep
  • SraWilliams3 Jan 10 @ 8:20 PM EST
    Question 2! What are some essential language structures that students should learn in this unit? #langchat
  • LauraErinParker Jan 10 @ 8:20 PM EST
    I'm sure there is! Merci beaucoup! Your units and resources are amazing. Merci mille fois!! #langchat
    In reply to @mmeshep
  • sratanguera Jan 10 @ 8:23 PM EST
    A2: That is why the unit is so hard for me. I cannot find the right ones to keep it from being too low or high leveled. #langchat
    • SraWilliams3 Jan 10 @ 8:20 PM EST
      Question 2! What are some essential language structures that students should learn in this unit? #langchat
  • MmeCarbonneau Jan 10 @ 8:24 PM EST
    Yup! We are putting everything through scrutiny using great protocols. We are looking at essential Qs, I cans, the assessments, the activities/tasks, the assignments etc. It is amazing work. Loving it. Inspired, but drained too. #langchat
    In reply to @MmeJGillespie, @jaybeekay518
  • SraWilliams3 Jan 10 @ 8:24 PM EST
    Have you checked out @senoraCMT unit called "Medicina o cura?" #langchat
    In reply to @sratanguera, @senoraCMT
  • MmeJGillespie Jan 10 @ 8:24 PM EST
    This is exactly what our current textbook does. So many times I struggle to see the connection between the theme and grammar in a textbook. This is a reason why I don’t rely on it anymore. #langchat
    In reply to @tjeag
  • LauraErinParker Jan 10 @ 8:24 PM EST
    A2: I ask myself when I start pulling together essential language structures - What would someone really need or want to say about this theme? - and start there. Then add as students come up with new things they want to say. #langchat

      Seconded! I've used UN Sustainability Goals for that unit to set a basis for the class, which helps guide everything else. The goals come in MANY languages, and there's already some teaching ideas around them.

  • MsilvaONHS Jan 10 @ 8:31 PM EST
    2. L2 teaching at secondary-school level is changing tremendously towards a strong communicative approach, where conjugation charts & drills are a thing of the past. This is a key age for our HL Ss to start approaching their cultural & linguistic resources. #langchat #edchat

  • sratanguera Jan 10 @ 8:33 PM EST
    Global Challenges is such a GIANT can of worms if you plan to cover everything. And, personally, some aspects are hard for me to teach bc I'm not terribly interested (see: politics and econ). Student voice and choice has made for a lot more interesting topics #langchat

    A3: This is why I'm always looking for new authentic resources. What is current and real in the target cultures. #langchat
  • sratanguera Jan 10 @ 8:34 PM EST
    If you get some sub-focuses narrowed down, hit me up again and I may already have a handful of resources developed for them. Even if they're not the UN goals exactly, those cover a lot of territory and I've done most over the past couple years. #langchat
    In reply to @MsFlorezluisa, @mmeshep

  • sratanguera Jan 10 @ 8:38 PM EST
    True facts. We have district I can statements already developed for the unit. Ss goal is IL, but I cans vary from filling out basic med forms (very novice) to describing what happened when you were injured (moving into advanced). I struggle w the alignment. #langchat

    Remember to not overload them with too many structures at one time. The CI can build as you're able to add in more structures. Have you checked out the plethora of Ts posting their classes online? #langchat

  • sratanguera Jan 10 @ 8:50 PM EST
    I'm assuming this Global Challenges unit is level 3/4/AP? "La guerra sucia" and "La hija de sastre" are both readers that lend to CI and also hit on several major global challenges within cultual context. Lots of materials out there too. #langchat

    TA: I'm most grateful for @mmeshep 's reminder to go back to the official Can Dos and figure it out from there. Level is about the Ss, and it all goes back to proficiency. #langchat
