64
ZJonesSpanish9/9/118:09 AM#langchat ...as they walk in, then students walk around, ask question (P), the other person asks question (P) and then they switch (P)
65
DiegoOjeda669/9/118:09 AMRT @ZJonesSpanish: an activity called P-P-P (Pregunta-Pregunta-Pasa); I write questions ahead of time on tiny piece of paper... #langchat
66
SECottrell9/9/118:09 AM@klafrench sounds like a great approach #langchat

75
DiegoOjeda669/9/118:10 AMIn my opinion these motivators should be used throughout the class, especially in the block format. #langchat
76
tiesamgraf9/9/118:10 AM#langchat (Tiesa from South Hadley, MA) I like to use http://t.co/uKiABf6 as a writing or speaking prompt (be sure to preview b4 class!)
77
SECottrell9/9/118:10 AMSpeaking of cloze, try it with commercials (Spanish) - and add some! http://t.co/gHnH1ev #langchat

alenord9/9/118:10 AM@ZJonesSpanish #langchat I do someting similar, I call it mix and mingle
80
ZJonesSpanish9/9/118:10 AM#langchat So, the little pieces of paper move all around the room quite quickly and there is built in repetition!
81
spanishplans9/9/118:10 AMIn terms of songs, I cut up lyrics, put them in an envelope and students have to put them in order as they listen #langchat
82
mmebrady9/9/118:10 AM@alenord #langchat lots of that today -- working through the tech
