A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
Saturday November 2, 2024 11:05am - 11:55am EDT
Room 216
In this session you will learn ways to use student photos as prompts for personal interviews narrated in the present, past and future tenses, in order to spark discussions that encourage students to share stories, compare experiences, and connect with their peers. This interactive workshop will demonstrate how to increase student engagement. In this personalized activity using the past and present tenses even the most reluctant language learner will come to life. 

OBJECTIVES: 
Participants will become the “students” in a classroom setting. They will view their peers' baby pictures, ask questions about what they observe, and describe what they have learned using the past and present tenses of a world language. After experiencing the activity firsthand, participants will switch to the teacher perspective, debriefing the lesson and exploring strategies to extend it in their own classrooms. Participants in this workshop will leave with a ready to go lesson plan of practical tools to unveil the world within their classroom.
