Title: Ideas for Introducing Negation
Body: A recent request on the FLTEACH listserv for ideas for teaching French negation received the following suggestions. ---- Bienvenue from Glencoe McGraw Hill suggests using a sandwich as a prop to teach French negation. I have done this for several years and always get a good response. I actually write "ne" and "pas" on two slices of bread with a marker, and write "suis" on a slice of American cheese for the filling. When I get to the part of the lesson where I'm introducing the negative construction, I pause and say something like, "I'm kind of hungry. Maybe if I have a snack it will help me remember this." (It helps that I have a refrigerator in the classroom.) When I take the ne...pas sandwich out of the refrigerator, every student is awake and paying attention. When students forget to put the "ne...pas" around the verb, I have heard other students remind them, "no, it's like a sandwich". Galazin, S. Re: french negation. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (24 Oct. 2005). ---- I have used the verb sandwich also. I just draw bread around the ne and pas and make the verb bologna. Then when we get to pronouns we add in lettuce and cheese. They do like it and it works well in their minds. Arbushites, W. Re: french negation. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (25 Oct. 2005). ---- Great idea! I can use that on the fake plastic play food. It looks like real bread and real cheese! Schirmer, T. Re: french negation. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (26 Oct. 2005). ---- I plan to use the same idea when I teach ne pas + infinitive. Just label a plastic container with a verb in the infinitive and a piece of cheese/meat with a conjugated verb (put this inside the container). The ne pas manger (infinitive) is before you put the sandwich together and ne mange pas is when the sandwich is put together (the verb is conjugated). Smith, B. Re: french negation. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (27 Oct. 2005).

Title: More Ideas for Teaching Literature
Body: Here are some possible activities for teaching literature or reading in your classes. These were recently posted to the FLTEACH listserv. ---- Have the students retell the story in their own words, or even have them act out the story after they have read it. This helps re-enforce the story as well as put a visual to what they are reading. Shannon, M. Re: Literature. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (23 Sept. 2005). ---- There are several different reading strategies you can use. I have adapted mine from reading strategies that reading teachers use. One example would be to have the kids create a double entry diary for what they read. The students would fold a paper in half, lengthwise. In the left column they copy down direct quotes from the text (citing line or page numbers). Across from each direct quote, in the right column, they would finish one of the following thoughts: "I WONDER....." (This would be questions that come to mind as the student reads the text. Good readers ask questions as they read.) "I IMAGINE...." (They would describe what they visualize as they read. "I can see the young girl out in a field, in the sun.....") "THIS REMINDS ME OF...." (Connections the student makes to his/herlife. "This reminds me of a time when I....") Previte, M. Re: Literature. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (23 Sept. 2005). ---- Storyboards are a good way to deal with lit. Students can decide as a class, in groups, or individually what the essential parts of the story/play/novel are, and depict them in pictures. They can have bubbles for dialogue they find descriptive of the character or theme, or they can portray an place/time/action (with or without bubbles, even empty ones!). I have done this with La Parure (Maupassant), and several Petit Nicolas stories. In fact, one student did such a fine job that I used her storyboard for a test. I cut up the segments (4, 6, 8, whatever) and pasted them out of sequence. Students had to identify them. Some students are incredibly creative; this is the time for them to exploit their talents. As for the others, well, stick figures are just fine. For Le Petit Prince, students had to present specific chapters. Boy, were they creative: a puppet show; a scripted and memorized scene; poster boards showing the essential parts/characters, etc. Just think of how the literature itself could be described and narrated. Root, Mary. Re: Literature. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (23 Sept. 2005).

Title: Bell-Ringers for Dictionary Skills Practice
Body: Some Spanish teachers on the FLTEACH listserv were recently playing with rhyming dictionaries and came up with the following activities which might be useful for practicing dictionary skills, vocabulary, or simply for occupying those students who arrive or finish early. ---- Translate into Spanish: The mouth of the crazy seal touches the rock. The crazy seal touches the wine glass of soup. The crazy seal touches the wet pillow. The crazy seal touches the beer on Teresas head. The crazy seal paints the fifth ribbon with ink. The crazy seal takes a nap at Celestas party. The crazy seal calls the llama in the bed of my sisters nanny. The crazy seal touches the fine Chinese wine in the road. The crazy seal touches the money in the fireman's hat. The crazy seal loves the apple on the German porcelain. The crazy seal smiled at the pious uncle of mine. The crazy and good-looking seal escapes from the potato with the map. Here is a Spanish-English rhyming dictionary I found: http://www.alcor.com.au/rhyming_dictionary.asp Widergren, P.R. A day in the life of the crazy seal. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (22 Oct. 2005). ---- Just a suggestion that this might be an entry way into a cultural / literary contrast, as Spanish verses may use asonance rhyming, which many students don't recognize as rhymes, as in "corazón" with "arroz".
