• I organized the class members into working teams each with the job of tracking a different element of the conversation – based on our handout from last week – for the partner orals we began today.
• Students got together with their “Escultor” partner to select a situation, warm-up, brainstorm possible questions and vocabulary for their situation.
• I made a list of partners – giving each pair a number 1-15 and listed which situation each pair selected.
• We rolled the dice (in turns of 1 die, 2 and then 3 dice) to select which group would present next. Then setting the timer for 6 minutes each, we had several teams present. I am very proud of how well those who today did – I’m asking all of you to take a big risk, and you all really rose to it. ¡Felicidades!
• I reviewed the Editing sheets:
Sugerencias Redactores, and how it will work tomorrow in our editing circles.
• Tarea:
Please be sure to return tomorrow with your ROUGH draft of your letter of interest/cover letter for your resume to use in the editing circle activity in class.
