Yesterday in our Faculty Development meeting, we heard from three of our faculty about activities they have done with DiLL that have kept their students engaged and having fun.
The abridged version of their activities go something like this:
1. Teacher pre-records 1-4 simple stories and ask students to illustrate what they are hearing in Keynote, a way to check comprehension.
2. Teacher hands out scenario prompts to students, based on vocab and language structures they have been studying. They have 2 minutes to plan out a dialogue with a randomly-selected partner and then 2 minutes to record. Mr. Reubelt then broadcasts student recordings to the rest of the class.
3. Teacher hands out different fairy tales that they students must write up as a play. They submit the play for corrections, make corrections. Then students rehearse the play during class time and then, instead of performing for each other live, they all record at once in DiLL. The final recordings are downloaded and saved on a CD for the students to enjoy.
