Title: Warm-ups
Body: Editor's note: A recent discussion on the FLTEACH listserv generated the following suggestions for warm-ups. ----- This works with any level past the first month of school. Take words from a sentence (in target language) and scramble them on an overhead and make them re-order them. I give motivation like 20 points toward a homework grade or test. ex: I sandwich green pickle eaten a olive have and (I have eaten a green olive and pickle sandwich) They have a lot of fun. I find that my students can do about 3 in 10 minutes. It has to be perfect in order to get the points. They are quite comptetive too! McDaniel, J. Re: warm-up activities, por favor. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (7 Nov. 2004). ----- I like to use either "around the world" or "the hot seat" becuase it really serves to motivate the students. In around the world, the first student stands up next to a second student and you give them a word. The first student who translates the word correctly moves on to the second student and so on and so forth. When you get a word wrong, you sit where you are, and the objective is to make it all the way to the end of the classroom, ie. around the world. For the hot seat, all students write a number of questions (3 or 4) and then individual students volunteer to come to the front of the room and sit in the hot seat, the seat where they answer questions. I give extra points for this. They seem to like it. O'Connor, T. Re: warm-up activities, por favor. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (7 Nov. 2004).

Title: Holiday card-making activity
Body: At this time of year, many teachers may be looking for activities which focus on the culture of the target language. The following suggestion was recently posted on the FLTEACH listserv. ----- I am currently a student teacher and my cooperating teacher had the idea of having our students make Thanksgiving cards incorporating symbols of Thanksgiving and symbols of France. The students are then to label the pictures that they have used. We did a similar project for Halloween and the results were wonderful. The students really got into the project and were very proud of their work. The Halloween cards are still decorating the classroom. Just a suggestion for a fun way to celebrate the holidays by giving the kids a creative way to use language. I really liked the idea posted about having students make cards to give to other people at the school, faculty, etc. Did they make the cards in the target language? That would be a great project for an ESL class. Easterling, C. Thanksgiving - Making cards. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (22 Nov. 2004).
