TitleIdeas for Immersion Day
Body
Have you ever wanted to surround your students with the target language for an entire day? Here are some activity ideas for an immersion day.

----

The Italian teachers in Rhode Island do an amazing immersion day every year. All (or most) of the Italian classes in the state meet at the community college, and there are many activities (cultural, speaking, writing, etc.). At the end, all gather for a large Italian meal as well as a raffle with numbers called off in Italian. Each student has a numbered ticket. They listen for that number while eating and are awarded a prize (donated from local businesses). We have had great luck with this. The students enjoy themselves and learn a bit.
