TitleTeaching Ideas for "Ser" vs. "Estar"
Body
Editor's note: A recent discussion on the FLTEACH listserv generated the
following suggestions for teaching the uses of "ser" and "estar."

-----

8th graders + Ser and Estar + Activities to Engage = Tricky to Come Up With!

I hesitate to mention it, for obvious reasons once you see it, but there are
some "Quack Videos" being promoted by Teachers' Discovery for about $15
each, and my kids LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the one I "tried out" on Ser and
Estar (plus the one on tener+a+infinitivo.) The catchy little poem/rhyme
rhythm did actually seem to help them remember the situations in which each
verb is used, as well as the various forms. It isn't the end-all, but it is one
piece.

Mad libs work really well. You can make up your own or purchase them from
Teacher's Discovery. Students love them.
