Workshop goal:

Activity 1: Commenting on a series of images
1) show FRIT example of Rousseau paintings
- have instructors choose 1 painting, comment on the painting, then look for another painting that already has a comment and respond to the comments.
2) show ESL210 example of “What Can You Use This For?” Lesson on “enough” vs “too”.
- have teachers add to the VoiceThread and use the pen feature
** Discussion : How would you change this activity to make it more communicative?
-3) The Simpsons : In the picture of the "Group" that you've been assigned to, become one of the family members and record what he/she/it would like to watch on the TV. Then, after reading what everyone else has decided, come to a consensus as to what the family would watch for the night.

Activity 4: Dialogue
1) showcase Beth’s German “conversation”
- have teachers respond? Probably only have time to show it...
- not sure if I want to do this because the students’ responses aren’t very organized…
2) showcase: pronunciation exercise

Discussion Questions:
- - how Could you use this in your specific courses?
- What are the Pro’s and Con’s?
|
Brainstorm ideas:
- What did you do over the summer?
- Some students (Chinese) are more comfortable speaking rather than writing.
- Students introduce their tablemates (pods of 4) and tables can visit the other table's presentations.
