Thanks for attending my presentation on my adaption of Ben Slavic’s “Circling with Props.” I hope that it inspired you to go “whole hog” in the target language with your classes starting on day one of level 1.
Here’s the link to the PowerPoint presentation I used during the presentation: http://teachforjune.com/docs/circling-with-pictures-jul09-ntprs.pdf
If you have any questions or comments about the presentation, please don’t hesitate to comment below!
Thanks!

I just wanted to take the time to thank Gaelle and Nancy from the great city of Minneapolis for having me come out and talk to the World-language department of the Minneapolis Public School District.
I had a great time and we had a great discussion. (Plus the Lebanese food was GREAT!!)
I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to write this earlier as I’ve been sick since my return. 
Anyways, I promised to upload my GPA to Percentage conversion chart so here it is:

Thanks for coming to the presentation!
I hope you learned a lot and I know you have questions! You can add them to the comments section here or you can email them directly to me! I love questions and I want to support you in getting this implemented in your classroom.
I know we didn’t have enough time to really get into creating your own version and hopefully, next year they will give us more time. Usually I give this workshop as a full-day, 6-hour and we have more time to get started.
Here is a link to my updated writing/speaking rubrics (the one’s you saw on my slides). They’re still a work in progress and have to be tweaked a little before school start in late August, but you can use them as you like.
Also, here’s the link to that picture/record website also mentioned in the presentation:
Again, if you have any questions or need any clarification or hand-holding, please let me know! I’m here to help!
