Twenty-plus teachers will be getting together in Louisville, Kentucky this June to walk a continuum of curriculum planning, from unit selection and design, to setting daily goals with the long-term in mind, to lesson planning that incorporates comprehensible input that fits you and your students and helps them reach their goals.
I was and am quite excited to team up with Laura Sexton and Bethanie Carlson-Drew for the all-new Camp Musicuentos Southeast this year, and now I’m equally excited to announce a special contributor to the Louisville location: friend, colleague, blogger, and fantastic French teacher Wendy Farabaugh!
You can always catch up with Wendy’s growth mindset on her blog, and now, you can work with her and me in Louisville this summer, too. As an added benefit, this partnership means we can likely accommodate one or two more teachers than our original 20-participant limit.
For all the information about the Camp Musicuentos workshops in Kentucky, North Carolina, and Rhode Island this year, visit the Camp Musicuentos page. (Base)Camp is already 3/4 full, so register soon. We’ll see you there!
So sad I can’t attend this year!!! Sounds amazing!!
Jeanne, I will have to share with you and Chrissy info about a workshop I am doing in the Dallas area!
Can you tell me a bit more about what goes on in Day 3? Thanks!
Sure! We’ll be walking through a brain-based lesson plan, taking a daily goal and breaking it down into how much comprehensible input it will take for students to achieve that goal, what that comprehensible input can or will look like. We’ll brainstorm and practice strategies like storytelling, using infographics, using video, slideshows, class polling, music, etc. as comprehensible input. We’ll see what it’s like to use a continuum where students go from almost passive reception of input to testing out producing the target language goal. And we’ll talk about primacy and recency in a lesson plan, brain breaks and where they go. Hope this helps.
