| Title | Need Ideas for the First Days of Class? |
| Body | Recent discussions on several language teaching listservs have suggested possible activities for starting the school year. One rich source of ideas can be found on the FLTEACH listserv FAQ site: http://www.cortland.edu/flteach/FAQ/FAQ-First-Days.html Below are some more ideas appropriate for any level. Although these were submitted by teachers of different languages, they may be used for any language. ---- In my high school we played a "find someone who" game on the first day of class. The teacher would hand out a worksheet with different statements on it and you would try and find someone who matched the statement. For example, one statement might be, Find someone who has lived in the same house, for their entire life, or Find someone who doesnt like seafood. For the upper-level Spanish classes, the questions were all in Spanish, and for the lower-level classes the questions were in Spanish and English. Ross, K. Re: First day lesson plans. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (1 Dec. 2004). ---- Students often like to know about me and what I did over the summer, so I give them a T/F quiz with statements that I wish were true and are not, or which are true and I wish they weren't. It produces lots of laughter. The statements are in German where possible. It includes where I studied, how long I have taught, where I traveled and classroom policies. Stefano, M.
