| Title | Substitute Teacher Plans |
| Body | If you ever have a substitute coming who may not speak the target language, this simple lesson plan may come in handy. ---- One of the best activities I have for a substitute where I can be out at any time in the year and don't have a substitute that speaks my target language is: Prepare a list of about 30-50 words in the target language for each group of about 4 kids. I have a large tub of old magazines that I collect throughout the school year from other teachers who want to donate to it. The kids are put in groups and go on a magazine scavenger hunt. They must find their words (each group has a different list), cut the words out of the magazine, glue them on butcher paper and label the words in the target language. I leave instructions for the substitute to leave about 10 minutes or so for clean-up. When I come back there is a ready made picture file of words that I can use for bulletin boards, posters, flash cards, etc... The kids enjoy looking for the words and it does take up the entire class. You need about 5-7 magazines per group, scissors for each group, glue, markers and the list. I generally list items such as: "a girl in a red dress", "a woman in a red dress", "a surprised man", "an angry man", etc. The kids can use their textbooks or dictionaries to look up words they may not remember/know. I generally suggest having 1 person be the group leader who tells the others what to look for, 2 kids to cut the pictures out and glue them and 1 student to label them all. Michie, P.
