Señor Jordan videos are really helpful. 10:23:12 From Chris Roberts : Regarding the polling, I was using my browser to view the Zoom but now that I switched to the Zoom app on the MacBook, more options are showing up.

Marlyn asked about links to benchmarks and I think that would help 10:43:36 From Annie Vargas : I was leaning toward Spanish Novice 1, but now my colleagues and I most likely will use Nuestra Historia for middle school beginners. I'd love to hear from teachers who have used Nuestra Historia (vs. Spanish Novice 1) in middle school - is it too advanced as a beginner text? 10:43:38 From Graciana Dutto : does it matter which Nuestra Historia title we have access to for the purpose of the sessions? I only have access to the AP Spanish level (looove the Aprender y Preparar title!). Should I request access to other titles? 10:44:01 From Fatima E : I did not receive an email for you to request the certification for today. 10:44:06 From Jessy : If our district has a subscription, how many titles come with that and can two teachers use the same title? 10:44:37 From Dayna Ellis : Fatima - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd485GdgXZlvYqbGc9HyUlTwXvT4mSQBH7IdsyyZlG9B02d1A/viewform 10:44:46 From Jessica Gonzalez : Did you say we can access these recordings of this weeks sessions, afterwards? How? 10:45:13 From Janiece Jackman : Is the acing guide only in the CI series? I am not seeing it in my French 1 subscription. 10:45:32 From Mary Yudin : Hi Sean, you can set up a dummy student account and see the student view. In my experience, however, the student learning curve isn’t too steep. 10:45:41 From npaulson : Yes, I do this! I primarily use the grammar-based book with Nuestra Historia as a supplementary resource! 10:45:45 From Laurel Garceau : Hi Jessica. They said if we signed up for this seminar, they would send us the recording at the end of each day. 10:46:15 From Annie Vargas : Erin said that she would email the recorded sessions next week to all registered participants. 10:46:32 From Charles Verhey : We will be posting the link to the professional development certificate throughout the day here in the chat.

Sorry. 10:48:03 From ELISE ERICKSON : erina@vocesdigital.com 10:48:08 From Darah Harper : Could you share the name of the FB group again pls? 10:48:20 From Anna McKnight-Matney : Ty 10:48:25 From ELISE ERICKSON : Conference Party & Discussion 10:48:44 From Charles Verhey : https://www.facebook.com/events/282000389543550/?active_tab=discussion 10:49:03 From Graciana Dutto : does it matter which Nuestra Historia title we have access to for the purpose of the sessions?

Would love to see how we merge comprehensible input with yours stories and work with our own pacing and zoom classrooms 10:59:04 From Charles Verhey : Hey Jeremy!! 10:59:10 From Annie Vargas : I'm star struck! I've used Sr. Jordan videos in my classes for years! 10:59:37 From Sean Dow : I'm brand new to CI and I'm nervous about doing it effectively. Is anyone familiar with resources that might be helpful to someone who is just getting started? I'm not sure if I should use it to supplement or if I should just fully immerse myself and my students with the CI approach. 10:59:48 From Alma Deinstadt : Oh my goodness! so excited! We love Senor Jordan!! 10:59:57 From jvargas : My students will be jealous to know I can speak directly with Señor Jordon 11:00:00 From Ana Roman : Hi! 11:00:13 From Annie Vargas : Unreal!

If not, would they be available somewhere? 13:17:09 From Brad Nelson : The videos are of you teaching? 13:17:15 From Erin Almeranti : I can email them to anyone who wants them 13:17:20 From Brad Nelson : Yes, please! 13:17:24 From Jamie Saxon : Thank you! 13:17:29 From karnason : Yes please! 13:17:33 From Erin Almeranti : and Brad, yes, the videos are AMAZING and show him teaching and demonstrating 13:17:35 From John LeCuyer : yes please 13:17:38 From Martha Cox-Stavros : Sí, for favor. 13:17:40 From Brad Nelson : Can’t wait! 13:17:40 From Patricia Ruiz : Yes please 13:17:40 From Alex Smith : ooo I’m excited about the videos! It would be cool to have videos to assign (for tor). @Erin could you email them to me: smithalex@nclack.k12.or.us. (PS let me know if you need someone to make videos that teachers could assign to students) 13:17:46 From Kathy Leaf : Yes, please 13:17:51 From Diane Moen : Please send to all of us. 13:18:11 From Sandra CHAN : @Erin Yes please 13:18:22 From Erin Almeranti : I will send you the notes from today's presentation in the email I send in the morning - I will add it to the end 13:18:27 From Lilliam Duffy : YES!!!! 13:18:29 From Emily Tuohey : Yes please, Erin. Thanks! 13:18:34 From Anjelica Hernandez Barajas : I wonder if you can have them do “señala” by having them circle the correct answers using Pear Deck (extension from Google)? 13:18:35 From Gina Gautieri : Thanks, Erin! 13:18:35 From Alma Deinstadt : Great! 13:18:37 From Graciana Dutto : thanks 13:18:43 From Linda Post : Thank you 13:18:51 From Trott Janice : Thank you! 13:18:52 From Erin Almeranti : the videos will be available in August in the titles - I can't send them sooner :) but they are really good (because Gary is really good ;) ) 13:20:31 From Monica Dahlberg : The resources on Gary's site say I need to request access. Is this correct? 13:20:51 From John LeCuyer : some of them are telling me that as well 13:20:55 From Hector Velazquez : I would be awesome if we use actual ASL signs 13:21:17 From Anjelica Hernandez Barajas : I don’t know if this is a silly question, but does each teacher create their own TPR symbols (i.e. necessity example from today), or is there a universal list? 13:21:18 From Erin Almeranti : I will let him know and he will fix it tonight - so check back! :) 13:21:43 From Erin Almeranti : Anjelica - I think it's a mix of shared gestures and made-up ones. 13:21:59 From Chris Roberts : I use the website lifeprint.com to look up ASL signs for structures. I don’t always use them but 80% of the time I do. Teaching two languages at once 13:22:43 From Leticia Molina : @Chris Roberts, thank you for sharing 13:22:51 From gracekattan : You would write the story in English? 13:23:33 From maria to Erin Almeranti(Privately) : yes email them!! Thank you 13:24:55 From Patricia Portillo : Erin, I wanted to share with you that when in English teachers say “Class, let’s”, in Spanish this doesn’t transfer in a culturally accurate way. We say “chicos”, “muchachos” or other regional forms for address young people. Just FYI. :) 13:24:57 From Jena Biondino : How long does a unit in NH usually take? How many vocab words and grammar structures are usually in one unit? 13:26:14 From Chris Roberts : Depending on the extra, supplemental activities you use, a unit can take anywhere between 3 weeks to a month, in my opinion 13:26:21 From Nathalie Martineau : it works well with elementary students at first they tend to say out loud the meaning of what you are saying 13:26:26 From Erin Almeranti : Our guide is 6 weeks per unit. But I think this year, you should expect and even aim to go slower 13:26:44 From Lisa Howie : I have only gotten through 1 unit per quarter. 13:26:46 From Erin Almeranti : Our pacing guide* 13:26:49 From clapp : Patricia Portillo. Same in French. I use « les jeunes » which can apply to any group of young people. 13:26:59 From Chris Roberts : last school year I only got through maybe 4 units total 13:27:14 From Katia Saade : What strategies to take in order to keep a large class of 35 students engage during a CI lesson using DL? 13:27:17 From Janeth Ruiz : They also sell sets of cards for circling on Amazon. Those helped me when I first started doing CI 13:27:20 From Owen Shively : We also do one unit per quarter. 13:27:21 From Jena Biondino : is there a place I can look at unit vocab and structures? I do not have NH and my district wont be getting it. (Im here for strategies and virtual teaching tips) 13:27:23 From Patricia Ruiz : 6 weeks for year long, would that probably be 3 weeks in block schedule? 13:27:51 From Erin Almeranti : I think that is good, actually... to take a bit longer. And know that the first chapters of later levels review many of the highest frequency structures and grammar from previous levels 13:28:02 From kaihlaolivar : Erin: Will we have a copy of Gary’s slides for this presentation? 13:28:03 From Erin Almeranti : And yes, Patricia. :) 13:28:08 From Chris Roberts : Actually I just looked back in my account and we only got through 3 units. But I took it very, very slowly and did a lot of extra things outside of Nuestra Historia 13:28:19 From Nina Tanti : Patricia, yes, I teach French and the French in France at least, don’t use “Classe” in this way either, even though I sometimes do lol. I sometimes just say “Please” or “My friends” :). 13:28:24 From Erin Almeranti : No, I don't think we will have the slides - but you will have a recording of this. 13:28:35 From Wendy Garrity : We do 4 units per year… Problem is that we need 2 subscriptions for French 2 which uses NH1 Units 5-6 AND NH2 Units 1-2… This is problematic since we cannot share subscriptions — $200 for one class because it bridges 2 books. 13:28:41 From Lacey Lowe : Thanks, erin 13:28:43 From kaihlaolivar : OK. Thank you. 13:28:45 From Gina Gautieri : Nina - I use Mes Amis as well! My favorite 13:28:47 From susansegsworth : Gracias. Have to go. Will check out rest later. 13:28:55 From Wendy Garrity : Thoughts on this Erin? 13:29:03 From Andrea M : Why are some of the sentences highlighted? 13:29:37 From Joel Harris : What was the name of the author of the books that he just recommended? 13:30:25 From Nina Tanti : SOOOO true, I just give very quick translations and then move on! 13:32:37 From Jessica Gonzalez : You can do this without an image of muchacho? No, right? 13:33:06 From Kathy Leaf : @Joel Harris Bryan Kandel 13:33:20 From Erin Almeranti : Thank you Kathy! 13:34:14 From Anna McKnight-Matney : Question: what is your advice for introverted/shy teachers who don't feel comfortable doing a lot of exaggeration/acting in front of their students? 13:34:31 From clapp : Jessica, you can use the name of a celebrity instead 13:35:12 From Sandra CHAN : @Anna have lots of pictures like he did on last slide 13:35:31 From Nina Tanti : @Chris Roberts (I think it was Chris?) thanks the www.lifeprint.com link to the ASL site for gestures. Quite addicting! 13:35:55 From Chantal Cassan : To Anna: practice at home as much as you can. It helped me a lot. 13:35:57 From Lora.Horseymiller : So, what do you do for the student who catches on quickly? How does s/he stay motivated during the circling and questioning? Gracias. 13:35:59 From Sandra CHAN : @Anna or draw things out (or ask students to draw/act if you have students who understand better than others) 13:37:00 From Gina Gautieri : LOVE the hover-overs! 13:37:55 From Erin Almeranti : For Free Resources: www.garydibianca.com/resources Including STUDENT INTEREST SURVEYS and POSTERS 13:38:14 From 816 2168 7862 : You are amazing! Thank you so much for explaining so well and so easy to understand. 13:38:22 From Chris Roberts : You’re welcome, Nina 13:38:43 From Jenny : Are there activities within NH for TPR when the structures are introduced ? 13:38:44 From sandralewis : thank you! 13:39:06 From Owen Shively : @anna set your mind on the fact that the facial gestures, acting, etc. helps acquisition so much that it's worth being uncomfortable doing. Also, know that not everyday or every story is going to be wonderful. There will be ups and down, days in which you are excited and animated and days which you'll reflect back on and know you could've done better. 13:39:08 From karnason : The "Scan Me" is so great! Thank you! 13:39:21 From Señora Denbeaux : Lora—for the student who catches on quickly—ask them the open ended questions, the harder, higher level thinking questions 13:39:25 From sandralewis : love the “pop-overs” as I call them. They are game changers 13:39:35 From Liz Holte (she, her) : wow - thanks Gary! I can't wait to go through all those resources on your site! 13:39:44 From ELISE ERICKSON : Thank you, Gary! 13:39:56 From Ana Roman : Thank you for your presentation! 13:39:57 From Graciana Dutto : scan worked! 13:40:00 From Katia Saade : Merci Gary! 13:40:02 From Jessica Gonzalez : who can post a link to high frequency words but with the word and images 13:40:14 From Jessy : How do you envision CI working with a mask on? 13:40:17 From Heidi : Thank you Gary!! 13:40:17 From maria : Thank you Gary! 13:40:19 From Patricia Ruiz : Gracias Gary. 13:40:27 From Laurel Garceau : Merci Gary! 13:40:32 From Lora.Horseymiller : Gracias, Sra. D. 13:40:41 From Elizabeth.Rabay : How much time do you spend on PQA? 13:40:42 From Liz Holte (she, her) : How does this look in DL 13:40:46 From Patricia Ruiz : I like the mask on question. How do you envision CI working with a mask on. 13:40:51 From Señora Denbeaux : Thank you!! 13:40:53 From Lacey Lowe : How do you try to minimize cheating when taking assessments? 13:40:56 From Anjelica Hernandez Barajas : Yessss! 13:41:10 From Liz Holte (she, her) : Which parts are things kids can do on their own in preparation for the fewer, shorter in person lessons? 13:41:27 From Leticia Molina : Maybe, look into plexiglass and clear masks 13:41:29 From Karen Redford : What about those masks that they make for hearing impaired? They have a plastic square sewn in 13:41:31 From Heidi Edel : I’m trying to make a copy of the survey, but it says I need access. Sorry if this has already been asked... 13:41:32 From Nina Tanti : There exists transparent face shields I believe 13:41:35 From Jamie Saxon : how about those clear masks that fit on your head? 13:41:36 From sandralewis : I also think of students with masks on as well - how to answer well 13:41:40 From Super Woman : TY for sharing ur resources 13:41:55 From Patricia Portillo : I had a hard time getting students to retell me the story. Do you have any suggestions? My students wanted it to be perfect and because we were online, they used google translate! 13:42:00 From Leticia Molina : Your resources are appreciated, thank you Gary 13:42:12 From Stacy : The surveys require access to be granted on your website 13:42:21 From Matthew Udkovich : Do you ever integrate peardeck interactive slides or edpuzzle and what kinds of activities might you make with this material? Or do you stay wholly on Voces platform? And THANK YOU! 13:42:30 From Jessica Gonzalez : I hope your union is helping you to stay virtual first semester. 13:42:35 From Graciana Dutto : he said he will fix the access issue 13:42:41 From Michelle Bloom-Scheff : @Patricia Portillo … if you use Zoom, use breakout rooms to have them work together 13:43:01 From Jessica Gonzalez : How do you get the students talking after you go over the story? 13:43:02 From Jamie Edwards : How does CI look when you are remote and fully asynchronous and offline-friendly? 13:43:04 From sandralewis : I didn’t start out telling the story as a whole, but asked students to tell me something they remembered from the story in Fremch 13:43:12 From Coneja : great thing about NH is all stories are recorded by native speakers. there is a lot of audio embedded. 13:43:16 From sandralewis : French whoops! :) 13:43:27 From Michelle Bloom-Scheff : Ask them to tell you anything they can: one word, phrase, etc. 13:43:32 From Brian Wasik : is there a way for students to hear each other’s recordings to allow for interpersonal communication without them being next to each other in person 13:43:36 From Nina Tanti : students love it when I mess up! 13:43:40 From Michelle Bloom-Scheff : Have them tell each other. 13:43:42 From Lacey Lowe : How do you try to minimize cheating when taking assessments? Do you just have a discussion with them about honesty? 13:43:50 From Patricia Portillo : Thank you! that is very helpful. 13:43:51 From Nisse Welchman : @Michelle Bloom-Scheff - if you use Zoom breakout rooms, how do you manage potential issues with student behavior? We're not allowed to use them unless we have another adult supervising... :( 13:43:55 From Lisa Rodriguez-Jong : To clarify, do you make a picture vocabulary slides for all the novice low/mid stories? I think the students need picture slides with the vocabulary. I like to do CI with picture slides. Will these be in Voces? 13:44:08 From sandralewis : Yes! Breakout rooms work really well! 13:44:11 From Alex Smith : I made videos of vocabulary with google forms attached and recorded the stories and assigned readings on voces. Like this one: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc6iu9T3v-WzWkV1tEmd3rvx706rdw0U7Gj8SKPMeLNb4pvYQ/viewform?usp=sf_link 13:44:18 From Karen Mariano : good question! 13:44:35 From Craig Smith : In normal times I'm a traveling teacher into 10 different classrooms with 200 8th grade students. I'm not sure how I would remember and track student responses to the surveys. I also don't know an alternative for posters since I can't post on the walls in 10 different teacher's classrooms. 13:44:37 From sandralewis : And Michelle and I also combined and did a zoom with 2 of us in charge to help students. A great addition! 13:45:08 From Diana : Some of the resources on his website are not accessible - interest surveys 13:45:12 From Kathy Leaf : @Alex Smith it says you need permission and there is no where to ask for it 13:45:20 From Elina : When do you start with your PQA's? 13:45:20 From Alex Smith : Here’s an example of how I intro’d vocabulary because we weren’t allowed to meet online at all: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSei9S09vYRZh7duMT6ftI38eeq9P35FVVxHF8D3RCwtfLHPJA/viewform?usp=sf_link 13:45:24 From Patricia Ruiz : do you just put posters for verbs that they will come across? 13:45:29 From gracekattan : Any suggestions on how to use NH with another text book? Our school hasn’t switched, but are looking at NH as an added resource. 13:45:35 From Lisa Rodriguez-Jong : Thank you so much Alex! 13:45:42 From Nina Tanti : love pop up grammar! 13:45:43 From Michelle Bloom-Scheff : @ Nisse Welchman : you might try combining with another teacher. 13:45:49 From Heidi Edel : Profe Loco’s video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbrGfeTbG88 13:45:54 From Hector Velazquez : @Alex we need permission to see those 13:45:56 From Patricia Ruiz : @Alex, Can’t access your doc 13:46:10 From Anna McKnight-Matney : @Alex we need permission to see those documents/documents can only be viewed by people in your organization 13:46:22 From sandralewis : If you read stories in voces, there are threads of grammar points that could match your units 13:46:23 From Jenny : @Alex Smith - we need permission for your gDoc 13:46:29 From Kathy Leaf : La clase se levanta and then use the command 13:46:37 From Alex Smith : I fixed I think 13:46:53 From Alex Smith : Someone let me know 13:47:22 From Kathy Leaf : The third person is what they will read 13:47:48 From Jamie Althoff : I apologize if you already answered this but I am in your site on "Resources" and it says I don't have permission. Suggestions? 13:48:01 From Kathy Leaf : @Alex yes 13:48:29 From Jamie Edwards : @Alex, thank you! I love the idea. how would you distribute this for students in offline only environment? we sent everything on flash drives every two weeks. 30% have no internet access (or not adequate) 13:48:56 From Nela Serrano : Yes Alex. I works thank you! 13:49:04 From Jamie Edwards : Just create pdf of it? download video? something like that? 13:49:16 From Robin Lynn Clinard : Are there TPR videos for the French version as well? 13:49:22 From Diane Moen : Are the videos also in French? 13:49:26 From Anna McKnight-Matney : @Jamie I think Gary said he will fix the permission on his site later today so we should be able to access his stuff in a bit 13:49:52 From Jessica Gonzalez : You can have them video record themselves performing their tpr by watching your own on their own time. They can submit media for a grade. 13:50:11 From Ana Roman : How do you access the google docs? 13:50:14 From Kathy Leaf : Can you explain the videos a bit more? thanks 13:50:20 From Jamie Edwards : We also aren’t allowed to have them video themselves. 13:50:41 From Alex Smith : I don’t know how you would do that offline? It’s hard to do remote offline… I post them in my google classroom though 13:50:43 From Kathy Leaf : Perfect. Thanks 13:50:46 From Jamie Edwards : I feel like we are being pushed into packets. so frustrating. :). 13:50:48 From Anna McKnight-Matney : @Jamie can they still record themselves using the Voces tool? 13:51:03 From Kathy Perry : Gary, do you modify the stories or how do you make the stories represent all the students’ identities, more diverse not just boy and girl 13:51:09 From kaihlaolivar : Cannot access garydibianca.com 13:51:10 From Anna McKnight-Matney : @Jamie another thing is to set up a Google Voice number and give it to students to call in and leave a VM 13:51:11 From Diane Moen : We are 100% remote until further notice. How do we can feedback from students? In Teams? 13:51:14 From sandralewis : You can edit stories in voces 13:51:19 From Jamie Edwards : @Anna no. no internet. I have to screencast everything or put in pdf 13:51:27 From Laura Devlin : Since acquisition is subconscious and feels different than consciously "learning" (studying & memorizing), do you sometimes experience pushback from students who feel like they're "not learning"? How do you choose to handle that? 13:51:45 From Janiece Jackman : Where are these videos you arespeaking of? 13:51:50 From Jamie Edwards : @laura—- I had the most pushback from older high achievers! 13:51:56 From L T : Flipgrid allows you to blur yourself for student video recordings 13:52:03 From Miranda Kershaw : Do you supplement the targeted structures presented in NH with the super seven or super 16 verbs that are commonly taught in CI programs? Do you believe in making sure students know ALL the forms of the verbs, or just the third and first person forms to start? 13:52:19 From Jenny : @Alex Smith - gDoc is accessible now 13:52:22 From Annie Vargas : I also am not clear on what videos you are referring to. 13:52:25 From Michelle Bloom-Scheff : @Jamie Edwards… in many communities where internet is not as common, cell phones are still being used. Could you Zoom with them using their phones? 13:52:36 From Erin Almeranti : I will elaborate on the videos later this week :) 13:52:41 From Craig Smith : The -e gender neutral suffix is increasing in popularity around the Spanish-speaking world 13:52:45 From Diane Moen : So we need to use FlipGrid to assure that they answer questions? 13:52:45 From Amy Whitaker : @LauraDevlin… I have them keep all of their writing in a “journal” for the year. Periodically, we look back on what they could write (usually only 1-2 sentences) in September vs. January vs. March 13:52:47 From sandralewis : thank you! 13:52:52 From Kathy Perry : Thanks for your thoughtful responses. 13:52:54 From Melissa Barra : Thanks so much, Gary! 13:52:55 From Nela Serrano : Gracias Gary! Great presentation. 13:52:55 From Ana Roman : Thank you! 13:52:59 From Chris Roberts : Students who don’t think they’re learning. Nuestra Historia offers can-do checklists in each unit 13:53:00 From Jamie Edwards : For some it was a shock that they couldn’t rely on a strong short term memory. For some it wasn’t until a year later that it clicked with them how much they had Acquired. 13:53:00 From melissa smith : Gracias Gary ! 13:53:02 From darlene : Thank you, Gary! 13:53:02 From Ursula Millard : Thank you!! 13:53:04 From Nisse Welchman : With my high achievers, they seem to do well with choice boards of extension activities, but I haven't sorted out how to give them the feedback they crave (many are also grade-motivated). 13:53:06 From maria : Gracias Gary ! 13:53:09 From Keren Turner : https://www.pexels.com/ this is a free image/video search engine with diverse images 13:53:15 From Nancy Geilen : Excellent presentation.

I have difficulty with that until the RAE officially adds it to the language’s grammar 13:53:33 From Graciana Dutto : i wish there was a way to keep the chats! there is a lot going on 13:53:43 From Jenny : Thanks Gary! Great to see you! Love the ORANGE slides! 13:53:53 From KP : You can click on the 3 dots and “save chat” 13:53:57 From Anna McKnight-Matney : @Nisse you can have them type their answers/provide a Google Doc for answers and add comments. Many of my high achieving students really loved that form of feedback. 13:53:58 From Veronica Graves : Erin, just to clarify, did you say you were going to also be sharing these presentations with us via email? 13:53:58 From Graciana Dutto : thank you, Gary 13:54:04 From Graciana Dutto : ohhh. thanks! 13:54:06 From Erin Almeranti : https://www.facebook.com/events/282000389543550/?active_tab=discussion 13:54:21 From sandralewis : thanks for the link! 13:54:21 From Leticia Molina : @Gracian you can save chat go to the three dots at the bottom to save chat 13:54:28 From Jenny : To save the Chat - Click on the three dots to the right of your chat and Save 13:54:36 From Linda Post : will that go to everyone ? 13:55:01 From Gary DiBianca : Could someone please tell me If the Google Form Survey works? 13:55:42 From Nina Tanti : Gary, are we supposed to fill it out? 13:56:50 From Leticia Molina : Gary, can you repost on chat, I missed it 13:56:58 From Gary DiBianca : Nina you should be able to copy it 13:57:05 From Monica Dahlberg : It's still asking for access 13:57:14 From Gary DiBianca : Thanks 13:57:21 From Nina Tanti : yes, I can access it, thanks! 13:59:05 From vdelbosque : 2 13:59:27 From Erin Almeranti : Remember to mute yourself! 14:00:08 From Andrea M : How are people "raising their hand" without their pic appearing on the screen? 14:00:47 From Marc Rando : first icon 14:01:24 From Marc Rando : the host gets a notification 14:01:25 From Nina Tanti : Please don’t take it personally. we all get those sometimes.... 14:01:39 From Laurel Garceau : Thank you for having the courage to share this with us Allynn. 14:01:51 From Matthew Udkovich : So brave for sharing this!!! :-) Thank you 14:02:00 From Nina Tanti : I was told by a student once: she “ruined French for me”! 14:02:37 From Nina Tanti : She wanted me to talk about the language, whereas I focus on culture and on meaning in u courses.... 14:02:42 From Nina Tanti : my 14:02:43 From Gina Gautieri : Wow! 14:02:46 From Nina Tanti : YES 14:02:48 From Chantal Cassan : Yep! 14:02:49 From Yolanda Wright-Udoh : Ouch! 14:02:49 From Chris Roberts : I once had a student tell me they regressed as well 14:02:50 From Gina Gautieri : Yeah I have 14:02:51 From Karin Trouyet : Yes I have 14:02:55 From Miranda Kershaw : My levels 4’s sometimes felt that way 14:02:58 From Jenny : I've had students make these comments 14:03:05 From Lora.Horseymiller : Yes...desafortunadamente 14:03:07 From Miranda Kershaw : because we focused on culture, AP themes, etc. 14:03:08 From Liz Holte (she, her) : I think students really struggle sometimes with the repetition 14:03:33 From Wendy Garrity : A student asked if I came to class “actually PREPARED to teach us something!” — 14:03:53 From Wendy Garrity : I was using CI with French Level 3 14:04:02 From Laurel Garceau : I teach French and my students are very driven.

It was life-changing for me. 14:09:18 From Joel Harris : build community 14:09:24 From Pelagie Bong : You can do it 14:09:27 From clapp : Reactions from students. 14:09:29 From K Winey : Learning a new language helps us see the world in a new way. 14:09:34 From Amy : comprehension, fun engaging 14:09:34 From Kathy Leaf : @Dawn I love that 14:09:36 From Erin Almeranti : Annie, I think so many teachers come to teaching from that place 14:09:40 From vdelbosque : learning a language takes effort, 14:09:42 From Pelagie Bong : in step at a time 14:09:45 From florent : Teaching is listening, and learning is talking 14:09:45 From Alyssa Gogesch : anyone can learn Spanish, and it can be fun! 14:09:47 From Yolanda Wright-Udoh : 1.

Being a reliable helpful person for them is primary, teaching is secondary. The pinky promises that kids have made with me to not commit suicide are far more important than them reaching a proficiency level in Spanish.

I give each students two tickets. There is a ticket taker. Everyone has to ask two questions. I type responses as the special person answers, and project them on my screen. (Help them learn he/she verbs.) I print out as documents and make a bulletin board after all are interviewed. Students provide (usually draw) an image of themselves to go with it. 14:42:41 From Amy : i can't see it 14:42:43 From Chantal Cassan : This is great!

I love your inclusion of rejoinders to encourage! 14:44:21 From Andrea M : Even so, the quiz would be helpful to engaging listening skills for those who are motivated by grades... 14:45:03 From Diane Moen : Erin, I don't see this in Notre histoire. Where is it located? 14:45:08 From Laurel Garceau : @Andrea - I know, but they were questioning why they had to take a quiz on other students. 14:45:34 From Leticia Molina : would you have a time limit? how many interviews per day? 14:45:56 From Karen Clarke : Every day? 14:46:15 From Nathalie Martineau : please send me the info about estrella del dia, martineaun@lkgeorge.org 14:46:29 From Lisa Rodriguez-Jong : Kara Jacobs, contributing author on Nuestra Historia, has Estrella del día templates on her website 14:46:31 From Lisa Rodriguez-Jong : http://www.ceauthres.com/2018/05/ci-interviews-estrella-del-dia.html 14:46:37 From Laura Devlin : I have 90 school days (semester) and 125 students, so more than 2 per day, ha ha. 14:46:37 From Dawn Noble : I have so many students, that I didn’t get completely through my rotation when COVID came. 😢 14:46:39 From Ariadne Costa : @Laurel, I had the same problem.

But we created the retell of the interview together, and they copied line by line as I write it on the board 14:47:55 From Andrea M : I guess it would be important to emphasize that the quiz is important to the goal of 1. helping to create classroom community and 2. using TL in a less structured manner like would be done in the "real world" 14:48:07 From Michelle Bloom-Scheff : I didn’t do quizzes, but I would ask questions, then have them retell as much as they could in small groups. Then they would tell me any detail, and we would write it in our notebooks. 14:48:12 From Lacey Lowe : What a greta idea!! Maybe start out with structure and then move to student pictures in second semester 14:48:28 From Jessica Gonzalez : can you share a video of you doing this? 14:48:39 From Ana Roman : Thank your for your presentation! 14:48:46 From Jon Perry : Great job today!

I'm glad you hung in there. 14:50:04 From Lourdes Viramontes : What do you put in the search online? 14:50:24 From Nathalie Martineau : https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=g3-QOGHZMg4 link for someone doing estella del dia 14:50:28 From Genevieve Ysursa : Hello little Mr. Tuohey 14:50:32 From Michelle Bloom-Scheff : I ask students to fill out info on a card, and tell them not to write anything they wouldn’t want me to share with the class. 14:50:32 From Gary DiBianca : Persona especial, Star of the Day, Special Person, Estrella del Dia 14:50:51 From Heidi Edel : Not sure if she has star videos, but for French check out Sabrina Janczak 14:50:59 From Chantal Cassan : Could you give them different topics and they choose one 14:51:29 From Melissa Barra : Thanks so much, Allyn! 14:51:33 From Graciana Dutto : thank you! 14:51:33 From diane : thank you! 14:51:35 From Gary DiBianca : FYI: My resources should all be fixed now.

Have students complete Tasks based on the 3 Modes of Communication** 15:10:29 From Jamie Althoff : I take their information sheets and make a BINGO sheet with the information "I am in band" "I have a job after school" and the game is a communicative game - they have to walk around and fill in a name in each box. You can have them fill up all the boxes with names and then play BINGO with the names in the class. 15:11:18 From Erin Almeranti : Good idea, Jamie! 15:11:28 From Fabiola Mendez : quizziz is also a great resource and it already has a bank of questions to choose from. its free 15:11:36 From Erin Almeranti : Backward Planning a Story: I THINK ABOUT • “TARGET STRUCTURES” • “REVIEW STRUCTURES” • COMMUNICATIVE PASSWORDS 15:12:26 From maria : I love Quizziz 15:13:30 From Shayna Gilman : What is a "communicative password"? 15:13:31 From Erin Almeranti : https://www.brycehedstrom.com/ 15:14:04 From Kate Chan : How can we help bridge from another curriculum (not CI) into Nuestra History 2 for our kids?

There is a lot of lag if you want them to speak (like I did with upper levels) but they can raise hands, etc. Harder (like impossible) with kids who don’t show their video 15:22:17 From Nina Tanti : thanks , O - OR 15:22:55 From Martha Cox-Stavros : I think we are all challenged by how on earth we will teach effectively online. But when considering that remote instruction will likely mean fewer minutes per week hearing/reading the TL it makes it even more important that we focus on using the TL as much as possible! 15:23:07 From Joel Harris : I had a really hard time getting lower level students to turn on videos. 15:23:22 From Kate Chan : There is a lot of equity concerns with video cameras too. 15:23:29 From Erin Almeranti : Yes, Martha - I agree. 15:23:35 From Kate Chan : It will make language teaching more challenging for sure 15:23:51 From Nina Tanti : I have teacher assistants in the breakout rooms and I can teach them this circling technique! to work with students in the bo rooms. THANKS 15:24:25 From florent : Balance bikes are great though… 15:24:29 From Joel Harris : Is there a button on nuestra historia for Si, no, o, for students to engage in these conversations? 15:24:34 From Gina Gautieri : I’m a printer, too! 15:24:50 From Erin Almeranti : And I also agree Zoom and such will never be perfect venues, but I think it's still possible. Even somewhat like what Gary is doing now. 15:24:52 From Diane Moen : So are the scripts available for the stories in all levels? 15:25:08 From Erin Almeranti : And Joel, good idea! 15:25:13 From Kate Chan : So that CIRCLE icon is a “stop and ask” reminder? 15:25:15 From Martha Cox-Stavros : @Nina Tanti - que suerte! How lucky! 15:25:23 From Erin Almeranti : You could use the yes, no, etc buttons on Zoom too if you're using it 15:25:49 From Zenny Smith : yeah!!! interrogatives!!!!! one of the first things I introduce!! 15:25:49 From Erin Almeranti : Kate, yes, and to help you do different types of questions 15:25:54 From Zenny Smith : awesome! 15:26:45 From Anna McKnight-Matney : So what are you starting Level 2 with? 15:26:46 From Erin Almeranti : Yes! :) 15:27:12 From Stacy Hogsan : Do you ever have students retell the story to one another and when do you do it> 15:27:25 From Craig Smith : I've seen other story-asking script sources put the target structures in bold where they appear in the script as a reminder to teachers. Does Voces do this? 15:27:55 From Lisa Rodriguez-Jong : How many daily/weekly presentation slides do you have? We are trying to reduce our slides. Do you eventually post your presentation slides on your LMS (Google Classroom, Canva, Schoology…) for the students to see or do you add them to the Voces story page. We had issues with students last spring during SIP with students who did not even look at the slides. They just went directly to the Nuestra Historia activities. 15:28:59 From Trudy Wood : Where should we start with level 2 students who did not use NH last year and didn't have any TPRS? 15:29:00 From Erin Almeranti : Craig, we don't do that. That is something we could possibly add at some point though! 15:29:08 From Karen Clarke : Agree with Lisa. Did anyone find effective checkpoints to make sure that students read lessons before attempting activities? 15:30:09 From Stephanie Stieber : Anna, is start with card talk and pqa using target structure tires that will be in unit one. also I’d do calendar talk each day. doing write and discuss daily. then kids will be ready for Unit one. this will last a few weeks for me. 15:30:17 From Jessica Gonzalez : sorry, I needed to come back. What are the circles in the story for? 15:30:43 From Ana Roman : ok 15:31:03 From Andrea M : @Trudy, I came into the school year in January and my level 2 students were much more comfortable starting off with level 1. That is because they were not used to CI or speaking. All their previous work had been in writing and very grammar focused. So, that worked well because they experienced success that we could work from. 15:31:15 From Wendy Garrity : How do you keep track of varied story details for different class periods? 15:31:31 From Lisa Howie : Jot notes 15:31:47 From Sally Denbeaux : The kids will remember too 15:32:09 From Chantal Cassan : I use PearDeck and write the stories. Usually I can make up any hole or I just ask the students on the next class 15:32:38 From jvargas : can you raise your hand higher, hard tosee 15:32:39 From Jenny : @Wendy - a classroom job is Secretary - choose a student to write the story -it's a big job - I rotate it. - I keep one composition book with different sections for dif. classes 15:32:59 From Chantal Cassan : The students are also writing down the stories 15:34:04 From Erin Almeranti : a little late...Incorporating the Past Tenses: -Option: Establish Past Tense Gestures with your students building off of the present tense gestures -Talk about what students did over the weekend and what you did (I project key verbs): I ate, I went to, I saw/watched …. -Describe Pictures, Scenes and Videos in the Past: Using key high frequency verbs (often imperfect) -Use all tenses naturally and expose students – eventually it becomes more normal 15:36:24 From Trudy Wood : Thanks Andrea! 15:37:26 From Genevieve Ysursa : Gary, you've really got this down ! Perfect ! 15:38:20 From Diane Moen : What about students using Google translate when they write. 15:39:11 From Erin Almeranti : For Free Resources: www.garydibianca.com/resources Including STUDENT INTEREST SURVEYS and POSTERS 15:39:17 From Erin Almeranti : Is it working? 15:39:37 From Madame Immaculee : yes it is working 15:39:43 From Lili Chamberlain : How do we print out all the structures in a lesson or level? 15:39:45 From Lisa Cuzzolina : Thank you for all the FREE stuff!! 15:39:52 From Andrea M : @Diane, If you're really concerned about students using Google Translate, you can make it so that students can't leave the page while doing an activity. They could still look it up on their phones or another computer, but it might dissuade all but the most intent. 15:40:14 From Erin Almeranti : Andrea - thank you for mentioning this, and yes, you can 15:40:15 From Sandra CHAN : @Diane: students cannot copy/paste from google translate into the book, so they will have to type it. However, I have not found a way to stop them from using google 15:40:32 From Erin Almeranti : It helps - not perfect because of other devices, etc. - but a good attempt to keep them off 15:40:56 From Erin Almeranti : Also, they can't paste into Voces - so even if they cheat, they have to type things one letter at a time 15:41:18 From Robin Lynn Clinard : Erin, is that true no matter how we have it set (about not pasting)? 15:41:30 From Erin Almeranti : Yes, you can control when you release an assignment 15:41:43 From KP : How do you you get your student actors on view for all on Zoom, while story asking? 15:41:44 From Erin Almeranti : Robin, yes! 15:41:53 From Robin Lynn Clinard : Thank you!!!! That’s fabulous 15:41:54 From Karen Clarke : @Diane - ask students to read and then tell you what the question and their answer meant. This will "catch" many students, so that you can address the issue personally on the spot. 15:42:11 From Jose Alvarez : What about asynchronous classes? 15:42:16 From Karen Clarke : How do we print out all the structures in a lesson or level? 15:43:04 From Elizabeth.Rabay : Have you married this curriculum with a novel? 15:43:21 From Kate Chan : Gary - will you share your ppt with us? 15:43:37 From Kathy Leaf : Have you used the novels? 15:43:42 From Andrea M : Also, isn't there a forum for teachers directly from Voces Our Story? 15:43:58 From Diane Moen : How do you decide which story version to use? 15:44:07 From Erin Almeranti : https://www.facebook.com/groups/738902793137712 15:44:39 From Sara Wertz : my 6th graders enjoyed the alternates to some! 15:45:03 From Jessy : Any advice on how to integrate current material (CI/TPRS) into this platform? ie every other unit? 15:45:07 From Erin Almeranti : As a learner, I love the alternative versions 15:45:18 From jvargas : Which novels did you use in Spanish 4? 15:45:19 From Chris Roberts : The Nuestra Historia curriculum has one or two novels per level included 15:45:20 From Kathy Leaf : Have you used the novels in Voces? Do you find them comprehensible? 15:45:33 From Ana Roman : Which novel for level 1? 15:45:34 From Chris Roberts : Tezcatlipoca is a great novel from Fluency Matters ;p 15:45:49 From Joel Harris : Like Trudy asked before, if we have strong level 2 students, but had more of an integrated approach and due to Covid. Where would you start the year? 15:47:40 From Andrea M : Don't forget that you can get a trial version for a while of each level and have a look at what seems to fit your students before you settle on which level/where to begin. 15:50:30 From Erin Almeranti : YEs! Email me for a trial - erina@vocesdigital.com 15:50:36 From Jose Alvarez : What about asynchronous classes 15:50:41 From Chantal Cassan : Love PearDeck! 15:51:12 From Kathy Leaf : Ooh can you expand on the exit strips? Ideas for virtual exit strips? 15:51:15 From Elizabeth.Rabay : What are your thoughts about Textivate? 15:51:21 From Ana Roman : Thank you for your presentation and ideas! 15:51:35 From Kathy Leaf : Yay thanks 15:51:36 From Andrea M : Thanks, Gary! You've given me so many great ideas! 15:51:57 From Sally Denbeaux : Thank you so much!!! 15:51:58 From Graciana Dutto : thank you, Gary! 15:52:00 From Darah Harper : Thanks, Gary! 15:52:04 From Heidi : Thank you Gary!!! 15:52:08 From Nela Serrano : Gracias! 15:52:17 From Edel Portillo : Thank you! 15:52:17 From Martha Cox-Stavros : Gracias Gary, for your expertise and for all the resources. Very generous of you! 15:52:21 From Serbesina Thaci : Muchisimas gracias!! 15:52:21 From Madame Immaculee : Thank you 15:52:22 From Gina Gautieri : Thank you! 15:52:23 From Kathy Leaf : Thank you both 15:52:27 From Nidia Marshall : Thanks Gary!! 15:52:27 From Marisol Martinez : Can't wait for all the updates. 15:52:27 From Diane Moen : Thank you,Gary 15:52:28 From Maureen Larsen : Thank you! lots of useful information! 15:52:28 From ELISE ERICKSON : Thank you again, Gary! This is so very useful! 15:52:40 From Nidia Marshall : Hola Bryan!!!!!!!!!!!! 15:52:41 From kaihlaolivar : Thank you. 15:52:43 From Marisol Martinez : Gracias!! 15:53:13 From Ana Roman : Thank you Erin! 15:53:25 From Erin Almeranti : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd485GdgXZlvYqbGc9HyUlTwXvT4mSQBH7IdsyyZlG9B02d1A/viewform 15:53:31 From Anjelica Hernandez Barajas : Thank you Erin! 15:53:50 From Erin Almeranti : https://www.facebook.com/groups/738902793137712 15:53:54 From Eliana Penaranda : gracias 15:54:28 From Erin Almeranti : https://forms.gle/ABkQxgVH74eX7wj2A 15:54:47 From Gary DiBianca : Answer to Joel Harris - I would start with Level 2 Unit 1 - The level 1 would be too easy for strong level 2 students 15:56:48 From Nina Tanti : it’s 1 pm for moi! 15:57:47 From Chris Roberts : Is his audio cutting for everybody else or is it just my connection? 15:57:52 From Angela Dankenbring : yes 15:57:54 From Shayna Gilman : Yes it is 15:57:57 From Jennifer Mosquera : yes 15:57:58 From Moussa : yes 15:57:58 From Matthew Udkovich : yes 15:58:00 From Erin Almeranti : Bryan's audio is going out a little for me - maybe for you too? It's his internet, and I don't think we can do anything about it 15:58:02 From Maria Reyburn : yes me too 15:58:08 From Chris Roberts : Okay, I thought it was my connection 15:58:37 From Anna McKnight-Matney : Voice connection is fading in and out Bryan 15:58:58 From Erin Almeranti : But hopefully it gets back 15:59:31 From Erin Almeranti : I think sometimes the internet just has to catch up :) 15:59:38 From Chantal Cassan : French and Spanish 15:59:49 From Edel Portillo : it doesn’t let me scroll down 16:00:06 From Edel Portillo : Spanish 16:00:28 From Nisse Welchman : When I've been in large meetings on Zoom before, sometimes the connection was improved if people turn off their video function as well. 16:01:02 From Karen Redford : Do you have to do the units in order? 16:01:23 From Erin Almeranti : oh yes, maybe we can turn off our videos and see if it helps. 16:01:50 From Lisa Howie : @ Karen You don't have to, but they build on the previous. 16:01:53 From Erin Almeranti : Karen - what do you mean in order? 16:02:15 From Karen Redford : 1, 2, 3. .. etc 16:02:17 From Erin Almeranti : Oh I see. :) And yes, you probably should in the sense that they build on each other and incorporate language from one to the next 16:03:08 From Diane Moen : My students will be behind because of Covid. Bryan's sound is fading in and out sometimes. 16:03:37 From Margaret : I am going to follow the suggested AP unit order so my level III students are studying the same unit as my AP students. 16:04:05 From jvargas : How would you break it down in a semester 16:05:07 From Arturo Sanchez : Hi, Bryan. Is there an overview of the scope and sequence for each level? 16:05:55 From Shayna Gilman : I wish! That would be incredibly helpful---breakdown of topics and grammar points within each unit/historieta 16:06:50 From Erin Almeranti : There is one! 16:07:07 From Mary Yudin : There is that available in additional resource material. In the teacher’s page 16:07:12 From Graciana Dutto : it's so helpful! 16:07:15 From Erin Almeranti : yes 16:07:29 From Erin Almeranti : and if it isn't, I'll get it there. 16:07:35 From Anjelica Hernandez Barajas : Do you recommend following the chapters in order, or is it okay to move the units around (i.e unit 1 might be moved to unit 4 because it fits with material I have already)? 16:08:05 From Arturo Sanchez : Thank you! 16:08:58 From Kristen d'Entremont : I've found it best to use in order and maybe use fewer units, because the vocab is recycled well and it eliminates the need to pre-teach previous vocabulary. 16:09:14 From Anjelica Hernandez Barajas : Thank you Kristen! 16:09:41 From Jill : The only issue I've found with editing the story is that the audio does not change. 16:10:06 From Mary Yudin : You can do them in any order you want and even physically move the order around so that it “looks” better. But it is true that the vocab is recycled, a feature I like! 16:10:40 From Gary DiBianca : @Liz Holte: Here is an idea: 50 Minute Virtual Teaching (LIVE 3 Days) Monday: LIVE: Teach the Language Structures for a Story: TPR, PQA, Simple Story Tuesday: NOT LIVE: Watch my Remote Learning Video that review TPR of Language Structures and then watch 10 minute Story Video that you made for your students Wednesday: LIVE: TPR, PQA (new questions about students), Build Story using the Story Script, Thursday: NOT LIVE: Complete 3 NH Voces Activities Online Friday: LIVE: TPR Simon Says, Game of Quizlet Live, Appropriate Cultural Connections from the Unit, Communicative Task from NH or Write/Retell the story 16:10:42 From Erin Almeranti : Oh and you can add audio! Like if you edit a story, you can delete the original audio and add your own 16:10:47 From Erin Almeranti : I will show you on Friday 16:13:27 From Erin Almeranti : Sorry his audio is cutting in and out! 16:13:50 From Erin Almeranti : But it seems to be okay in general - I can still follow him. Is it okay for you all? 16:13:54 From Nela Serrano : Thank you Gary! 16:14:01 From Carita Garcia : its ok 16:14:01 From Jessy : Yes 16:14:01 From Mary Yudin : yes 16:14:02 From Margaret : fine for me! 16:14:16 From clapp : Yes sound week sometimes but ok . 16:14:34 From Nela Serrano : Erin - I can hear him very well thanks. 16:14:37 From clapp : WeAk but ok. 16:14:53 From Joseph Masterson : Don't fret, Erin. We can hear him and today has been great! 16:15:00 From Leslie Pretat : yep its all good 16:15:20 From Graciana Dutto : agree! 1 16:18:57 From Erin Almeranti : Maria, I will - thank you! And Dawn, great idea! 16:19:12 From michellemejia : Are all of these supplementary activities available on the Voces curriculum, or are teachers responsible for coming up and finding the resources ourselves? (i.e. preceding acts, videos, powerpoints…) 16:19:22 From Kristen d'Entremont : My students loved making food from each of the countries at the end of each mini story. 16:19:24 From Shayna Gilman : Bryan, do you create additional activities that correlate with these movie clips? 16:19:39 From Susannah Williams : I miss my Colombian arepas! 16:19:40 From Erin Almeranti : Some are in Voces, and others are not. We are always open to adding some! And will! 16:19:53 From Kristen d'Entremont : please do! 16:19:58 From Mary Yudin : We had a taste test in class of the two types of arepas when we read this story!! They loved it! 16:20:06 From Jill : I've found that you need to do a lot of supplementing on your own. 16:20:10 From Jennifer Mosquera : uyyy, si - Las arepas en la calle con quesito 16:20:22 From Nathalie Martineau : I want one! 16:20:29 From solange kemajou : hope and wish to have that many resources in French! 16:20:43 From Erin Almeranti : You can't bring up arepas at 4:20 pm!!! 16:20:53 From Erin Almeranti : :) 16:21:07 From Jennifer Mosquera : @Erin Jajajaja!!! 16:21:08 From Nela Serrano : Hi Susan I am grew up Venezuela and the arepas are delicious for sure. I have tried the Colombian ones and they are wonderful. I miss them all too. 16:21:09 From Shayna Gilman : It would help to get a walk through of what you do within a unit from beginning to end...there's so many options, hard to know what to do when 16:21:48 From Jennifer Mosquera : @Shayna: Agreed! 16:21:48 From Kate Chan : No more food talk…….this has been ongoing since 7am for me…no breakfast or lunch yet! LOL 16:22:09 From Erin Almeranti : Our pacing guide - when it is ready for the higher levels - will do that to some extent, Kate. At least for one unit. 16:22:10 From Anna McKnight-Matney : @Kate pobrecita **abrazos** 16:24:08 From Jose Alvarez : loosing your voice Bryan 16:24:10 From Anna McKnight-Matney : Can you put the Plan Slide back up at some point? 16:24:46 From Erin Almeranti : Anna, I will ask Bryan at the end 16:24:57 From Erin Almeranti : I think he'll give us access to this too 16:25:10 From Robin Lynn Clinard : If you do it through edpuzzle, are you able to use the recording that is part of Notre Histoire? 16:25:35 From Trudy Wood : Edpuzzle will remove the reading if there 16:25:48 From Silviana Dooher : Yes, could you please put the Plan Slide back? 16:26:19 From Trudy Wood : there's a question about copyright. 16:26:57 From Robin Lynn Clinard : Is copyright an issue if we make a video of ourselves reading it? 16:26:58 From Jill : Is there a way to provide the transcript to the videos? Sometimes they are so hard to understand (even for the teacher). 16:27:04 From Anna McKnight-Matney : Question to Erin: This info is second hand, but I heard some students complained that they couldn't tell what activities were assessed or not. Can you clarify this point? 16:27:42 From Erin Almeranti : To clarify, do you mean what activities were graded or assigned? 16:27:48 From Anjelica Hernandez Barajas : Transcripts would also be helpful for students who are hearing-impaired ( I have a few this year). 16:27:56 From Anna McKnight-Matney : AHHHH just when I try to take a pic of the Planning Slide it goes lol 16:28:04 From Miranda Kershaw : Can we use any of the comprehension activities that follow the short stories as potentially graded assessments? Do we get to decide which stories students can/can’t see in the textbook? 16:28:19 From Erin Almeranti : We usually have transcripts for videos (although not closed captioned yet) and if not, those too are being added over time. 16:28:29 From Lisa Rodriguez-Jong : In a live remote learning class, can the students do the activities afterward even if you do not assign them in the Nuestra Historia Calendar? We will have 75 minutes block 2x week. I don’t want to pre-assign and then have students do the activities beforehand. 16:28:31 From Anjelica Hernandez Barajas : Thank you! 16:28:40 From Anna McKnight-Matney : @Erin I'm assuming these activities where they save and submit. Again, this is second hand info, I did not use Voces last year. But maybe some of the activities don't provide feedback to the students immediately? I don't know. 16:28:49 From Erin Almeranti : Miranda, yes, you can set it so students can't see any pages or activities, unless you assign them. and then they do only those. 16:29:24 From Erin Almeranti : Some activities are autograded and some aren't. And students do need to be shown where/how to get graded assignments, but it's really simple once they know 16:29:25 From Chris Roberts : Do you go from one story straight to the next or do you do things in between to mix it up and keep them from getting tired and bored of story after story? 16:29:36 From Anna McKnight-Matney : @Erin Ok thanks! 16:29:37 From Erin Almeranti : and then they will be able to read your feedback, hear it, etc and see points. 16:29:44 From Erin Almeranti : We will show you that on Friday for sure. :) 16:29:59 From Erin Almeranti : Also, just FYI, Notre level 3 and 4 are very similar to these 16:30:18 From Shayna Gilman : Are there formative assessments embedded in the units to assess student progress after each 'historieta'?? 16:30:23 From Erin Almeranti : and we will have two of those musicians playing live tomorrow during lunch! One in French and another in Spanish! 16:30:24 From Jill : What are the "story scripts"? 16:31:05 From Erin Almeranti : The story scripts are like TPRS scripts that you use to ask a story w/ your student. there is a detailed explanation with them in unit 1. 16:31:38 From Jose Alvarez : How many units are you teaching per school year? 6? 16:31:53 From Carrie R : We are considering using NH 2 with Spanish III. Does anyone else do that? 16:31:54 From Stephanie Stieber : good question Jose! 16:32:09 From Lacey Hungerford : We couldn´t get all 6 units in one year. There is so much material! It´s awesome! 16:32:19 From Miranda Kershaw : I had the same thought for French 3 - NH 2 because NH 2 seems too hard for level 2 French 16:32:23 From Kristen d'Entremont : I did only three units last year with multiple novels brought in too. 16:32:33 From Jennifer Mosquera : Yes, we're actually using NH 2 with 2 and 3 this year 16:32:42 From Jose Alvarez : What about asynchronous classes 16:32:48 From Mary Yudin : Last year I used Nuestra historia 3 with my Spanish 3 for the first time; I only finished thru Unidad 4 (but Covid…) 16:32:53 From Carrie R : Thx, everyone. 16:33:07 From jvargas : Carrie R. we are considering it. Students have ci teacher level 1, then traditional for level 2 and for level 3 CI. I teach level 3 so I will go back to level 2 because the students I will be getting will just be used to filling in verb charts 16:33:34 From Jennifer Mosquera : Lesson steps 16:33:40 From Carrie R : I teach Spanish 5 but most students don't take AP exam. Would NH 4 be a good choice? 16:33:42 From npaulson : I have found there is enough material for 2 levels/years in one title. 16:33:45 From maria : Will you share that pan slide in an email ? 16:33:54 From michellemejia : What are some direct tips you would have for ONLINE teaching level 4/5? 16:33:58 From Miranda Kershaw : May I ask a question? 16:34:01 From Shayna Gilman : Can you talk about formative assessments after teaching a historieta?? 16:34:04 From Nathalie Martineau : could you show a quick example of a summative assessment based on that unit? 16:34:24 From Jennifer Mosquera : Echo @Shayna 16:34:30 From Anna McKnight-Matney : @Jose I taught all asynchronous during the SIP March-June. I did a lot of recording myself (you can record yourself during a solo Zoom session for example) and save the video into your Google Drive, etc. Then share the link to the video with your students. 16:34:41 From Diane Moen : So do we go back a level due to Covid-19 this fall? Can we mix between traditional and CI books? 16:35:57 From Lisa Rodriguez-Jong : Tips for online teaching level 1 Monday 35 minutes, then 2x/ week 75 minute block! Brain breaks, music, PQA! 16:36:04 From Serbesina Thaci : What are some writing samples you ask from your students? 16:36:29 From Kristen d'Entremont : Thank you Lisa. 16:38:05 From Laurel Garceau : IPAs generally vary the modes. 16:38:38 From Miranda Kershaw : Could we use a regular short story not taught as a reading assessment at the end of the unit? 16:39:03 From Allynn Lodge : Yes, Miranda! I did that as an assessment! I am joining at the end here — but I used the long story to assess. 16:39:24 From Allynn Lodge : I taught the shorter stories 1 - 3, and left the long story for assessment (so I locked those stories from the student view at the start of the year) 16:39:25 From Kristen d'Entremont : I used a lot of the Extra activities in my assessments. 16:40:30 From Jennifer Mosquera : Is there any type of Pre-Assessment IPA for Levels 2-4 for the beginning of the year? 16:40:34 From Laurel Garceau : That’s a great idea, Allynn (locking the longer story and using it for an assessment). 16:40:37 From Jose Alvarez : I use actividades as formative 16:40:40 From Mary Yudin : There really are sooo…many materials per unit.
