Title: WebQuests for Language Classes
Body: From: http://webquest.sdsu.edu/overview.htm This site is designed to serve as a resource to those who are using the WebQuest model to teach with the web. By pointing to excellent examples and collecting materials developed to communicate the idea, all of us experimenting with WebQuests will be able to learn from each other. A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from the Web. WebQuests are designed to use learners' time well, to focus on using information rather than looking for it, and to support learners' thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis and evaluation. The model was developed in early 1995 at San Diego State University by Bernie Dodge with Tom March, and was outlined then in Some Thoughts About WebQuests. Since then, scores of workshops have been offered to teachers on the format, by instructors who made use of the resources on this site. If WebQuests are new to you, we hope you'll find these pages helpful. Clearly, the word is getting out. The WebQuest Page is now getting over 1700 hits/day! For WebQuests that have already been created for foreign language classes, visit the site below and click on "Top," "Middling," or "New." http://webquest.org

Title: End-of-the-Year Activities for Any Language
Body: A recent request on the AATG listserv for activities for the last weeks of school received the following suggestions. These were provided by teachers of German, but they could be used for any language class and a variety of academic and proficiency levels. ---- One of the ideas I've used for the last day(s) with seniors: Each student drew a classmate's name. They needed to write a tribute to that person. They could include some of the fun times (or skits they performed!) in German class. Many of my students really knew each other, i.e. some had been together since eighth grade, so they could write a lot! At first, my students groaned when they knew they would have yet another assignment. We then read them out loud in class - and then they were given to the person. Some were really touching! I think it was one of the most memorable assignments I've ever given. Johnson, B. [AATG-L] End of year suggestions needed. American Association of Teachers of German listserv. AATG@listserv.iupui.edu (30 May 2005). ---- I do a lot with Play-Doh and the kids seem to love it. The degree of difficulty will depend on the level. Sometimes I keep it simple, giving a command like "Macht eine Katze" ('make a cat'). You can make your commands more and more detailed for whatever objects you ask them to make. For example, eine Katze mit langen Zaehnen, drei Beinen, und einem Ohr ('a cat with long teeth, three legs, and one ear'). Or you could assign them an object or two and then they have to describe it in German or tell a story about it. It's also good for reviewing colors. McQueen, B. [AATG-L] End of year suggestions needed. American Association of Teachers of German listserv. AATG@listserv.iupui.edu (30 May 2005). ---- This might not be considered "appropriate" but in my opinion seniors need to know the "real" German, meaning slang. Or even those phrases like "Ich bin heiss" which can get you into trouble. You might be able to find some of these on Hyde's site on about.com. There also are books that have phrases that you never learned in German class. Hennel, D. [AATG-L] End of year suggestions needed. American Association of Teachers of German listserv. AATG@listserv.iupui.edu (30 May 2005).

Title: Games for Young Students of Russian
Body: A recent request on the FLTEACH listserv for games to play with children learning Russian received the following reply. ---- How about prjatki (Hide-and-Seek)? Some useful expressions: Raz, dva, tri, chetyre, pjat', ja idu iskat'. Pora-ne pora, ja idu so dvora. Palochka-vyruchalochka. And then there is Vyshibaly (you will need a ball): one team is divided in half, and the halves are lined up against each other. Another team is in the middle, sandwiched between the parts of the first team. The first team tries to hit out the members of the second team with the ball (vyshibit'). Once hit, the player is out. If any member of the second team manages to catch the ball off air, they get a point (svechka) which can be used when somebody from their team is hit. I hope it makes sense. Descriptions are always difficult in the second language. Nemtchinova, Katya. Re: Russian games. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (24 May 2005).
