Title: Ideas for a Scrapbook Project
Body: A recent discussion on the FLTEACH listserv on scrapbook activities generated many interesting suggestions which could be used for learners of a variety of ages, levels, and languages. Below are two of them. ---- I had them do a magazine as a year-long project and every writing assignment that we had became an article. As soon as we learned new grammar, they had the information that they needed to continue with their magazine. Giuliano, J. Re: como se dice scrapbook. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (14 Oct. 2005). ---- Currently my IB juniors students are doing a scrapbook of sorts - their autobiography. The emphasis is the preterite and imperfect tenses. My students have to include info such as: when and where they were born, how many siblings they have, where they lived, three physical and three personality characteristics they had as a child, what they used to do as a child and three things that happened to them/they did which had an impact on their life somehow. Many of the students of course also use present tense to compare what they were like to what they are like now. You could add: what they predict they will be doing in 10/15/20 years and what life will be like for them; if they could change something about themselves/their life/the world, what would they change and how would they change it. Damascus, B. Re: como se dice scrapbook. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (14 Oct. 2005).

Title: French Online Listening Exercises on the Riots in France
Body: About.com's French language site this week features a timely lesson using an interview with two men who live in Clichy-sous-Bois, where riots began over three weeks ago. Not your typical news interview, this one features people who have tried to bring calm to their chaotic environment. As usual, the exercise includes audio files at normal and slow speeds, a study guide, and a quiz. http://french.about.com/library/listening/bllg-riots1-listen.htm?nl=1

Title: French TV Online
Body: For those looking for interesting online video that might be usable in class or just good for keeping up with the language and culture, the France 5 web site has a fairly good collection and new videos all the time. What I like most about these is that it presents current reports about a wide variety of aspects of life in France today, interviews with real people, including teens. Some of the shows have both high and low bandwidth versions. http://www.france5.fr/videos Ponterio, B. French TV video online. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv.

Title: Thanksgiving Bingo for Learners of German
Body: Here are the instructions for the Lottospiel located on my website at http://teacherweb.com/wi/hhs/havas/photo2.stm The basic rules of Bingo apply with these modifications: For lower levels, have the kids write the German words randomly on the board (one per box) and call the words in German. After one or two rounds, I have the winners of each round call the words for the next one. This reduces the likelihood of multiple winnings (even though it's purely driven by luck, there is a perception out there that the game is stacked somehow!) Having them swap boards after a while is also a way to keep things interesting. Upper levels: have them figure out what each word is in English in advance as a class, have them write the English in the boxes and then call the German, or vice versa. Go with the spirit that moves you at the time! Havas, L.C. [AATG-L] Erntedankfest Lotto instructions. American Association of Teachers of German listserv. AATG@listserv.iupui.edu (16 Nov. 2005).
