48-second tour
This is what the lab looks like when we have 3 classes working in the Training, Project, and Instructional Areas simultaneously. See Mr. Reubelt’s Spanish Class, Ms. Pelliteri’s Latin Class, and Ms. Spaltro’s Latin Class busy at work/play/ish.
And here’s a copy of the activity that Mr. Reubelt was doing with his 7th graders on DiLL that day:
=========================
SITUACIONES: Ejercicios en laboratorio
=========================
You will be matched with random partners for each of the following situations. You and your partner will have 2-3 minutes to discuss what you will each say in your dialogue. Then, when you hear the signal, both of you should begin recording the dialogue. You will have 2-3 minutes to record each dialogue.
These are the situations for which you will create dialogues:
1. It’s the last day of school and you are talking with a friend about what each of you are going to do over the summer. (Remember to use voy a + infinitivo when discussing
future plans!) Use as many verbs as you can and be creative.
2. One of you is a famous actor and is being interviewed on television. The interviewer
will ask you about yourself, your family, friends, etc. Ask as many questions
as you can using the question words (qué, dónde, adónde, cómo, cuándo, etc.). Also
try to use as many adjectives as you can to describe people and things.
3. It’s the first day of classes and you are at a new school–in Oaxaca, México! You
make a new friend and he/she asks you about your life in the US and your school. Try
to use as many school-related words as you can, as well as gustar to describe what you
like or don’t like.
