Sketch Notes and Reading Club pals!

My reading clubs were on Chapter 4 today!  Spanish 3, the Hija del sastre group is partnering with Linda Kelchner’s group in Pennsylvania for a fun exchange!  

 
We got her package today with student predictions about the novel and a space for us to record what actually happens!  We sent the same back to them!  This was their activity after reading chapter 4!
In Spanish 4, groups read chapter 4 of their respective novels and did a Sketch Notes a’la Martina Bex! 

   
    
 
This has been a great way to end the year in Spanish 4!  Lots of senioritis in there!!! 🙂

I began teaching Spanish in Illinois in 1994. I have taught levels 1-4 in a small rural high school, 8th grade introductory Spanish, Biology 1, and 101 and 102 at the community college level. My Spanish classes are partnered with the community college to offer students 8 semester hours of dual credit on completion of Spanish 4. In 2011 I met Carol Gaab and Kristy Placido and have since co-authored the book "La hija del sastre" with Carol Gaab and authored the novels "La Calaca Alegre", "Bianca Nieves y los 7 toritos." "Vector," "48 horas","Bananas", "Sostenible", and "Papálotl" through Fluency Matters. In 2006 I became National Board certified and I have been serving as a mentor both for candidates seeking certification in world languages other than English and a virtual mentor for candidates in all certificate areas. I completed my Masters degree in Spanish education in 2011 and did my research on the use of Understanding by Design to create meaningful cultural units for the language classroom. I am a frequent presenter on this topic, please consider me if you are interested in a workshop on backward design. In 2013 I was named the ICTFL Foreign Language teacher of the year and in 2014 I was selected as CSCTFL's teacher of the year. In November of 2014 I was lucky enough to be one of the five finalists for the ACTFL National Teacher of the Year in San Antonio, TX. What a "Cinderella" experience!
