EVIDENCE #1: Conflict Minerals lesson with accompany electronic media, charts, maps and video
DESCRIPTION: This lesson incorporating instructional media appropriate to foreign language learning took place at Middlebury High School in the winter of 2019. A recent video, is included in the google slide show as well as visuals that support the lesson. The video, in French, is from the organization, MISEROER. They work to alleviate poverty and raise awareness about global economic issues.
ANALYSIS/REFLECTION: This was an engaged, advanced AP High School French class I taught during my high school teaching internship. I planned the lesson with the use of a google slide show to present content with an authentic video in French.
Upon reflection, I have learned and am continuing to learn much regarding the integration of technology to create vibrant lessons. While I have for 25 + years incorporated authentic objects, music, films, art, movement, it is a new language for me to navigate the various platforms to use electronic materials. I look forward to learning more and attending technology workshops to grow my skill set around this.
This evidence demonstrates my competency in this standard because of the authentic francophone documents, charts and video used which I curated into a compelling lesson about conflict minerals and their influence in all of our day to day lives for this AP French high school class.
EVIDENCE #2: Use of puzzle maps, books, animal/word cards in French for elementary and preschool levels
DESCRIPTION: Here is a selection of instructional media appropriate to foreign language learning for French preschool and elementary level learners
ANALYSIS/REFLECTION: I utilize many resources to bring French language learning alive. Instructional materials come from my travels abroad, libraries, and other online resources. It is important to have relevant source materials on hand in the learning environment. Shown here are a number of items for younger learners from a tremendous map puzzle of Africa, to masks from Cameroon, to French cards with images on one side and words on the other, a wonderful artsy French language learning book, the classic, Le Petit Prince, (which I love to use as a teaching anchor) and one of a number of animal French cards I have.
In the future I look forward to accumulating more awesome resources and finding a balance in my classroom between hands on, brains on and movement learning. I hope to attend a workshop later this summer addressing that, in Brattleboro, Express Fluency.
