TitleWebsite: Spanish Verb Wall
Body
From the Verb Wall Virtual Workshop site:
http://www.verbwall.com/VWVW/VWVWMain.htm

To be effective, the Verb Wall must be displayed in the classroom. (It requires
an area about 8' high and at least 16'-18' wide, although adaptations can be
done to make it work in smaller areas.) The idea is to get the verbs up out of
the textbook, out of the computer, and display them on a timeline large
enough that you and your students can actually stand in the various time
zones.

The "bigness" of the wall is intentional. The learner of the new language is
child-like in his learning needs, regardless of his age. For that reason, the
students should be allowed to approach the wall, observe the endings close
up, and feel themselves moving through the time zones. The wall should be a
physical as well as mental experience that makes the verbs come to life
outside of the confines of the textbook or computer.

As Pam explains on the site, a verb wall for the English language also exists.
