Interactions Grid

Below you will find my Interactions Grid from the lesson that I presented as my final project.

This lesson covers two weeks, or six class periods, of Spanish 101; one hypothetical chapter from beginning to end. 

Day 1 marks the beginning of the chapter. This day is lecture based to maximize the input of the new material. There is a homework assignment due before class on Day 2, using the "Conversations" application.

Day 2 begins with a quiz on the material from Day 1. Class is spent watching an episode of a Spanish television show, El Internado and simultaneously completing a worksheet.

Day 3 begins with a quiz on El Internado. All online homework is also due before class this day. In-class information gap activity. Over the weekend students are assigned a story building blog assignment. 

Day 4 will be spent working further with the blog stories: sentence re-order, add an ending. For homework students have to complete another assignment using "Conversations". 

Day 5 begins with a quiz on the stories. In-class signature search activity. 

Day 6 begins with a quiz. In-class PowerPoint Jeopardy review of the chapter.

The class will also have a Facebook group to post reminders, and for the students to ask small questions regarding assignments. This group will also be used for small participation opportunities, such as "questions of the day".
