| Body | Three suggestions from FLTEACH users for study materials that students can take home and practice with: --- We're covering commands, physical fitness/wellbeing vocabulary, and body parts. To open the chapter we pick 15 of the vocabulary words from the chapter and make flashcards - Spanish on one side, and a picture on the other (no English). Later we add the command forms, affirmative and negative, to the cards. Eventually we add the body parts necessary to do that activity. When they are finished they have cards that include all facets of the chapter. We use the cards in different ways every so often at the very beginning of class as a warm-up. They seem to like and it shows them how to use flashcards for more than just one particular list of vocab. Henman, B. Re: Conjugation foldable or study tool. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 7 Mar 2007). --- My grade 5 Spanish students were having a difficult time with conjugating verbs so we created "verb-olopes" In the envelope (that they take home) are strips of paper and we listed the subject pronouns on them, then we conjugated the verb "to go" together and placed each conjugation with their subject pronoun and then we did -ar verb endings and conjugated 2 -ar verbs together in class and I gave them a formula for doing it infinitive verb minus -ar = stem + ending the -ar endings were placed on blue paper and then on white slips of paper we placed the stem of the verbs to speak and then did the same for the verb to dance. For homework each student is conjugating 5 verbs and will teach those verbs to the other students on Monday. Re: Conjugation foldable or study tool. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 8 Mar 2007). --- Why not do a folded book? You take 3-4 sheets of paper, fold them and staple to make a book. If you overlap the pages by the width of your thumb, then staple, you create tabs to find things easier. You can organize it by verb, conjugation group, tense, subject pronoun or anything else you can think of. You may want to have the students write each verb on a separate piece of paper or an index card, then glue it onto the correct page (in case they make a mistake). Encourage the students to illustrate or decorate the pages. It is a good idea to grade these according to a rubric for neatness, accuracy, etc. I would have them make the blank books in class one day, then fill it in at home as a weekend project, doing 3-6 verbs altogether. If you have them leave a few pages blank, they can add to it as the year goes along. Murphy, K. Re: Conjugation foldable or study tool.
