Title: The Best Sites For Teaching & Learning About Cinco de Mayo
Body: From http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org Cinco de Mayo, May 5th, commemorates the defeat of the French by the Mexican Army in 1862. It’s a national holiday in Mexico, and is celebrated by Mexican immigrants and Mexican-Americans in the United States. Finding high-interest materials for students to read, and activating prior knowledge, are both good instructional strategies, so in that spirit Mr. Ferlazzo offers another “The Best…” list. All of these sites are accessible to English Language Learners. Access the list at http://larryferlazzo.edublogs.org/2009/04/10/the-best-sites-for-teaching-learning-about-cinco-de-mayo .

Title: Wallwisher: Web 2.0 Resources for English Language Learners
Body: Wallwisher lets you, with very, very minimal registration, create a “wall” where you can place virtual sticky-notes. You can allow others to also place notes on the board, or keep it so that only you can do so (which is what I would recommend for students). The sticky-notes can include images you grab off the web, videos, or websites, and you can add text to them (you can also just include text without adding anything else). Each sticky has a 160 character limit for text. Wallwisher appears to me to be one of the most useful Web 2.0 sites I’ve found in awhile. It can be a great place for students to use higher-order thinking by creating categories of images (and descriptions) or short texts they copy and paste (or write themselves). It can also be used as a site for social bookmarking of websites if you just right-click the website you put inside the sticky-note and then click on “open in a new window.” Read The Best Social Bookmarking Applications For English Language Learners & Other Students for more details on how a site like Wallwisher can be used by English Language Learners for categorization and website bookmarking applications, and I’d encourage you to take a look. The other sites listed there can be used for similar purposes, but Wallwisher appears to be the easiest and most user friendly of the bunch.

Title: Oral Activity Ideas: Part 2
Body: Last week’s InterCom featured ideas for oral activities from FLTEACH subscribers. Here are some more: 3 in a row is a great game for all sorts of situations, particularly practicing vocab orally. An easy way of approaching it is: Present your language using a grid of preferably 4 x 4 squares. This can either be a grid on OHT or you could use a PowerPoint which places the presented items in a 4 x 4 grid. It's best if you number the squares, so for a 4x4 grid, you'd number them 1 to 16. Obviously you can use this with the class for all sorts of things such as listen and repeat, repeat if true, "..." what number is it?, X or Y, what's number ...? etc. etc. You can use the grid for a game of 3 in a row with one team playing against another. A student says the number of a square in the grid, then produces the required language in order to place a X or a O in that square. Then it's the next team's go. They score a point for each line of 3 in a row, horizontally, vertically or diagonally. They keep playing until all the squares have been filled in, and the team with the most points is the winner. I find this is much better than simple Os and Xs as the game lasts longer and there are many more possible outcomes. The next step is to get students playing this in pairs, just for 5 minutes or so. If there's an uneven number of students, you can join in to make up a pair. They can draw tiny 4x4 grids in the margin at the back of their exercise books (or on mini-whiteboards, I guess) and a little chart for keeping the score. You'll find you get a lot of noise when doing an activity like this, but it should all be TL practice. If a pair finishes before you are ready to move on to another activity, they can draw another grid and start again (adding on to their previous scores). 3 in a row is one of the many game types available in the TaskMagic software. It differs slightly from the activity described above in that students choose correct matches rather than coming up with the language from memory. But in the version described above, you can easily include your word list in random order if you feel students need extra support. Lapworth, M. Re: [FLTEACH] Oral activities for the foreign language classroom. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 5 Apr 2009).
