Title: French Civilization Website Has Been Revamped
Body:
Many French teachers are already familiar with Marie Ponterio’s Civilisation française website. Recently the following was posted to the FLTEACH listserv:
The videos for Marie Ponterio's French civilization web site: <http://web.cortland.edu/flteach/civ/> have been completely revamped.
After the great videos from the TF1 site disappeared, she spent several weeks tracking down extensive replacement videos for all of the French civ topics on the pages and on the Voyage Virtuel site for cities around France. About 90% of the video links are new.
Ponterio,R. [FLTEACH] Civilisation Française web site - new videos. FLTEACH listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 23 Oct 2016).

Title: CBM3D: Using CBMs for Quick Assessment of Progress in English Language Development
Body:
From http://www.weteachwelearn.org
Rita Platt and John Wolfe write, “Today in almost every elementary school in America, teachers are required (or at least highly encouraged) to use curriculum based measures (CBMs) at least three times a year. The CBM most commonly used in literacy is an oral reading fluency probe (ORF.) Whether the passage comes from DIBELS, AIMSweb, FAST, EasyCBM, or another source, the idea is pretty much the same.
1. Give a student a copy of the grade-level passage.
2. Time the student for one minute as s/he reads aloud.
3. Mark the student’s errors on the teacher’s copy of the passage.
4. Count total word correct to get a CWPM (correct words per minute) score.
The results of the ORF are commonly used to gauge student growth in reading and to act as screener to identify readers who might need extra assistance. The assumption is that ORF scores can be used as a proxy for reading competence.”
However, these quick assessments are problematic for English learners, for a variety of reasons given in the article. Read on to find out how to administer the more appropriate Curriculum Based Measures in 3 Domains (CBM3D) instead here: http://www.weteachwelearn.org/2016/10/cbm3d-using-cbms-for-quick-assessment-of-progress-in-english-language-development/
