| Title | Ideas for Extra Class Time |
| Body | Recently a new teacher posted a question to the FLTEACH listserv: "What do you do when you finish class a few minutes early?" She received lots of ideas for those moments just before class starts or when students finish early. Look for more of these in the coming weeks. ---- In NY, we have the second language proficiency (and the Regents for highschool). I teach middle school. I made up some scenarios for conversations. Some are the questions that my district used last year, so we can use them for practice. Others are just out of textbooks. The scenarios are simple, like You are at a party and meet the new exchange student. Introduce yourself and talk about things you like to do. If there is time left over in class, I pick one of the cards. As a class, we brainstorm what could be said. As it gets closer to exam time, the students will be starting to practice with them and actually role-play a conversation. I also play Scattergories with them. They already have a game that they have started and whenever we have time, we continue. Sometimes I have them list words into catergories, like things you'd find in a bathroom. Sometimes I have them list things that start with a particular letter. Shepardson, A. Re: What to do when you finish early. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv.
