Essential Questions of the StoryThis is an activity I got from my father and fellow Latin teacher, Bob Patrick. It is a quick 2-3 minute activity that can be used as a pre-reading activity, a post-reading activity, and as a reminder of a story you are returning to. Before class, write the essential questions on the board and then answer them with the class. Your questions should be in the TL and the responses can be in the TL or, if needed, in the L1. Latin English nomen: name: quis? Who? quid? What? ubi? Where? quando? When? quid est difficultas? What is the problem? Rebuild it!This was a spur of the moment idea I had when I realised that I couldn't do an activity I'd planned due to testing absences. I switched gears and asked my ELL 1 class to "rebuild" Nyasha's garden. In this activity, they told me in the TL (English in this case) what we had read the day previous and I drew it on the board. Then, I went back and asked them what each item was and they told me and I labeled each item. What I found was that they insisted on a variety of details that I had not considered "important" and it became very clear very quickly what things we needed to spend more time on. Timeline PicturesI came up with this idea during my first few years teaching and while I don't do it often (it takes 1/2 to an entire class), I still revisit it. Prep
