Title: Whiteboard Activity Ideas
Body: A Latinteach user recently suggested the following ways to use individual-sized whiteboards in class: --- Here are some whiteboard activities which I use. Many of these I learned at Rusticatio this summer (so I take NO credit at all for any of them) and have now definitely added them to my arsenal of activities. I use these activities to get students to internalize these words and to take ownership of them. Vocabulary picture – write four random vocabulary words on your classroom board. Students have one minute to draw a picture on their whiteboards which incorporates/depicts all of the words (not four separate pictures, but one). Tell students if they do not know a word, then focus on what words they do know. When the minute is up, students hold up their whiteboards to you and to each other, while you walk around and check them. I usually pick 2-3 boards to show the class and will then describe the picture in Latin, using the vocabulary words. Freeze Frame – You the teacher draw a picture beforehand (using known vocabulary words) and then write in Latin a description of the picture. The more random the picture, the better! Read the description aloud to the class and have students draw what they hear. I usually read the description 3 times – by the 3rd time, students are simply checking their drawing against what they hear being read. Have them hold up their whiteboards to you the teacher and to each other. Then show them the original picture and compare. Then ask students comprehension questions in Latin about your picture. Guess the Word – pick 3 students to sit in front of the classroom with their backs to the classroom board. The rest of the class has whiteboards. On the classroom board, write a vocabulary word. The class will then draw a representation of that word on their whiteboards but not show the 3 students. On cue, have all of the students show the 3 students their pictures, and the 3 students guess the Latin vocabulary word. Variations: instead of pictures, have students write synonyms, antonyms, homophones, etc in Latin. Complete the Sentence – write a basic Latin sentence on the board but leave out a word. Students have 30-45 seconds to write Latin word/words which best complete(s) the sentence. When time is up, students hold up their boards to show you, while you go around to check. Conjugating – write an infinitive (or other verb principal part) on the board, and then give students a subject/pronoun. Students write the correct form on their whiteboard and then show you the teacher. 25,000 Pyramid – one student holds a whiteboard with a list of vocabulary words, one students sits with his/her back to the whiteboard and then one student sits facing the other student (this student can see the whiteboard). The student who can see the words is to get the other student to say the Latin vocabulary word by describing the word in Latin. Once the student guesses the correct word, then they go on to the next word. Toda, K. [Latinteach] whiteboard activities. Latinteach listserv (latinteach@nxport.com, 16 Sep 2010).

Title: Videocharlas Project for Spanish 1 Students
Body: Zachary Jones of the Actualidades blog recently extended the following invitation: --- Many teachers from FLTeach expressed interest in participating in our Videocharlas project, so I wanted to send out this quick update. Some teachers told me that they have just introduced ser and adjectives, so today I've updated our Videocharlas page with a new video question, "¿Cómo eres?" It also includes authentic materials, such as Ricardo Montaner newest song and a Liniers comic strip. Here's the direct link: http://zachary-jones.com/spanish/archives/22805 Also, here's the link to the page with all of the videos we've done so far: http://zachary-jones.com/spanish/videocharlas It's really exciting because we've got lots of classes answering now! Our last video (on colors) received over 118 student comments! You can read their comments here: http://zachary-jones.com/spanish/archives/21468 I wholeheartedly invite all Spanish 1 classes to participate! The response from students has been very positive. In fact, one school reported to me that they had a news crew come out to ask the kids what they thought about it! Saludos Zachary Jones, Z. [FLTEACH] Videocharla: ¿Cómo eres?

Title: New Listserv for Spanish Learners and Speakers: Cultura-L
Body: Recently posted on the FLTEACH listserv: --- I am writing to let everyone know about a listserv that we have set up for Spanish language learners and native Spanish speakers called Cultura-L. Spanish is the language of the listserv and it is a listserv for anyone from Spanish 2 (Advanced Elementary +) and above. Students may talk about anything that they would like to talk about, but there will also be "Thematic questions" posted to give those students who would like a more structured format something to talk about. For example, the first topic that has been posted is related to "Comida rápida", with a news article about fast food being replaced by bistros in the New York Airport and what do students think about the healthiness of fast food and the replacement in the New York airport (the article referenced is in Spanish). If you have students who might be interested in joining (for practice, extra credit, etc.), please let them know about "Cultura-L". To subscribe, a student should do the following: 1. Send a message to LISTSERV@lists.psu.edu 2. Leave the "Subject" blank 3. In the message, put: Subscribe Cultura-L Yourfirstname Yourlastname 4. Send message The student will get a message back saying that I will approve his/her subscription. This is great practice for students! Please let me know if you should have any questions.

Title: Article: What Schools Can Learn from Charters about Teaching English Language Learners
Body: From http://www.eschoolnews.com/2010/09/10/what-schools-can-learn-from-charters-about-teaching-english-language-learners What schools can learn from charters about teaching English language learners Best practices for encouraging proficiency among ELL, Latino students include strong community support By Meris Stansbury September 10, 2010 As charter schools become testing grounds for innovative approaches to education, many of these schools with high English language learner (ELL) and Latino enrollments are identifying best practices for how to achieve proficiency with these students. The most important advice: Involve the community and offer after-school activities. “Next Generation Charter Schools: Meeting the Needs of Latinos and English Language Learners,” a new report released by the Center for American Progress (CAP), details how charter schools can become models for all schools that serve a high number of ELL and Latino students.
