Title: Activity Ideas for Clothing and Appearance, Part 2
Body: Here are some more ideas from the FLTEACH listserv for practicing describing clothing and personal appearance. --- You can go on-line and print out paper doll patterns, label the clothing and they can dress their dolls up. Bourque, K. Re: Clothing (La Ropa) games? Foreign Language Teachers Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 15 Nov 2006). --- Put a bunch of OLD clothes in a bag for each team (like 3 kids to a team or so) and create a fictional character that the "up" team member must pretend to be. Then say something like "Bobby lleva una camiseta" and the first kid to find the camiseta from the bag and put it on wins. Then you go on.... Dewey, M. Re: Clothing (La Ropa) games? Foreign Language Teachers Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 15 Nov 2006). --- For this topic I use the Spanish edition of People magazine. One issue in particular is Los 50 Mas Bellos. It was the June 2006 issue last year. In it are photos of famous Hispanic people and a small amount of writing, which includes: His/Her name, nationality, age, and profession. I sorted through the pictures, cut out the ones with people wearing the clothing that we had discussed, attached them to a another sheet of paper (color coated for males/females) and laminated them. I then created a worksheet with a list of questions to ask and space to write the answers. In groups of two Student A has a picture and Student B asks the questions pertaining to the picture and writes down the response that Student A gives them. This can be an information gap activity if you stress for the students not to show the pictures to their partner. After the worksheet was completed they got to choose a new picture/person that looked interesting to them and the pair switched roles. Bator, B. Re: clothes, colors, personal characteristics. Foreign Language Teachers Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 28 Nov 2006).

Title: Conversation Questions for the ESL/EFL Classroom
Body: From http://iteslj.org/questions/z.html These are a large group of questions organized by topic which you can use in your ESL conversation classes. Some Ways to Use These Questions in the Classroom: * Print out the questions and let students work in pairs asking the questions alternately. * Divide the questions into 2 pages, give half the questions to one student and half to another and let them work in pairs asking each other the questions. Students should be encouraged not to look at the other student's paper. * In a small class, the teacher may want to use the questions to get a conversation going about a given topic. In this case, the students aren't given a copy of the questions. Available at http://iteslj.org/questions .

Title: Helping Students Read Cursive Handwriting
Body: Do some of your English Language Learner students have trouble reading and writing cursive handwriting? Here are some suggestions from TESL-L users: --- Ask your students to type a paragraph from their journal each night, then suggest they copy and paste it several times, experimenting with various fonts that look like cursive handwriting, and try to read them. Or you could do this yourself, and make copies for the class to practice reading. As they begin to practice writing, if they see it as something artistic and flowing, they might adapt to using it more easily. Chenoweth, C. [TESL-L] printing versus cursive in ESL classes. Teachers of English as a Second Language List listserv (TESL-L@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU, 21 Nov 2006). --- Materials for teaching cursive: I know several therapists who work with dysgraphic students. They all use Handwriting without Tears- http://www.hwtears.com. It is made for kids, but a teacher could certainly use the method and adapt the materials. Also, check out New Reader’s Press, a publisher of materials for adult literacy. They may have something. Finally, the local teacher supply store has dozens of workbooks that use the tried and true “trace the dotted line” method of teaching cursive letters. Google “kinesthetic handwriting” or something along those lines for techniques on using gross motor skills before fine motor skills to learn handwriting. Some techniques include writing in the air and using a wet sponge to “write” oversized on a blackboard. Spelleri, M. Re: [TESL-L] Cursive Writing. Teachers of English as a Second Language List listserv (TESL-L@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU, 22 Nov 2006). --- I'm trying to get them to get used to reading it, so I print materials from the computer with cursive script; in many cases I print two versions side by side. Bechtel, A. [TESL-L] Why Cursive. Teachers of English as a Second Language List listserv (TESL-L@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU, 23 Nov 2006). --- If you go to the following web sites, you will find resources to teach cursive writing. http://www.handwritingworksheets.com/cursive-1/make-c.htm [an online program to make cursive handwriting practice worksheets; just type in the text to be practiced and it will generate a printable worksheet] http://www.handwritingforkids.com/handwrite/cursive.htm [a wide variety of practice activities for cursive] Kaback, J.
