Reflexiones: A place to reflect on my teaching and share ideas and resources for other Spanish teachers. Martes, 24 de febrero de 2015. El Libro de la Vida. I am going to be out for a few of days for conferences and I wanted to leave some plans that were valuable, yet doable and relaxing too. So, I finally watched the movie, "El Libro de la Vida" and made a question guide to go along with the movie. It is a sweet movie and visually beautiful. I made this basic guide with questions. Etiquetas: Book of Life.

Reflexiones: A place to reflect on my teaching and share ideas and resources for other Spanish teachers. Jueves, 9 de abril de 2015. I have been teaching my Cultura y Civilización course. Those courses are still heavily based on a textbook, with chapters with long lists of vocabulary, specific grammar points, fill in the blank activities, and much more English than there should be. I have been reading the book Languages and Learners: Making the Match. I am still teaching the same content (clothing, refle...

Thoughts on my world language classroom adventure. Is the Café Open? 8220; Está el café abierto? 8221; (Is the café open) became a familiar question on Fridays in my classes this past year. My café was a new idea this year designed to increase students’ use of Spanish in class. It aligns with the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports system of rewarding students for desired behavior in order to increase occurrences of said behavior. It truly increased Spanish usage for a lot of students! Cold, h...

Thoughts on my world language classroom adventure. Welcome to My World! A little about myself and my teaching. My name is Laura Catherine and I teach Spanish in Iowa. For five years, I taught the equivalent of Spanish I to 6th-8th graders at the school I attended. Looking back, I had no idea what I was doing those first few years!
