Analysis/Reflection: This class, being French II was in approximately 50% of target language. Assessment integrated during last chunk of class (see next clip). In future lessons, will have prepared handout with "question" words and phrases for learners.
MHS_Colllearn_FR II Geog.movMiddlebury High School, French II - part 2
Towards the end of class, this was a collaborative performance task for learners to show their knowledge regarding types of geographical features. Prior to this they had independent work time to choose two types of geographical features to illustrate. Classmates were to guess what they drew, supported engagement with "Qu'est-ce que c'est?"
MHS_APFR Fair Trd La Mondial.movMiddlebury High School, AP French - Fair trade and Globalization lesson.
Video Sequence: review video questionnaire with class before video for reflection/engage learners in reading the concepts to reflect on during the video.
Analysis/Reflection: For this AP French class 90% of instruction was in target language. Learners received a handout to use for reflection during and after the authentic video of chocolate workers in Ghana. In the future, I look forward to providing an assessment criteria rubric with "I can" statements from the ACTFL standards.
APFrench_ConflMinerals 5min.movMHS.fairtrdch lamondia.movAP French - Conflict Minerals lesson- part 2
Video Sequence: Class reviews questions on screen with prompting, after watching video selected. Opportunity for high level thinking, analyzing similarities and differences between chocolate and minerals in electronic devices. Breakout into small groups to discuss in French.
Middlebury High School, AP French - Conflict Minerals lesson - part 1
Video Sequence: Opening of class/intro of myself/unpack theme of Conflict Minerals/engage learners with discussion providing adequate time for responses-advance high level thinking/use of visual media projected on screen - periodic table showing chemical elements within a cellphone to prompt discussion. This chunk of class was Pre-teaching prior to authentic video clip of a mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Analysis/Reflection: This lesson is ripe for expansion into cross curricular topics such as chemistry, geography, history, economics, political science more profoundly. As an AP French level class, 90% of instruction was in target language. It was a rewarding class to design in terms of content and an opportunity for me to practice classroom technology skills. Learners engaged intellectually through group discussion and brainstorming re chemical elements in our everyday things.
SustAcad_beh_tete_epaule.mov2) Sustainability Academy Elementary School, 4th grade - Spring 2019, 3 clips edited together. (1 clip: duration,1:12)
Video Sequence: Classroom management with diverse strategies/ engaging song-movement activity to well known children's song.
Analysis/Reflection: This was a very social class that needed several re-directions, yet were enthusiastic about the content. I was the substitute teacher for this class and thus offered this as a French instructional age-appropriate activity. In the future, in my own classes, I would embed this into an opening routine for establishing a culture of learning in which students would clearly understand their role. I also like to have a different assistant each day to come up and serve as leader of the activity.
