This has been a work in progress. The original slide show was by Senora AnneMarie Chase for her Spanish classes. It can be found here. I have adapted it for a Latin class and then edited and/or added slides to fit my needs. I'm going to go slide by slide to explain how I use … Continue reading Starting Class with Small Talk

Brain Breaks and Rejoinders: Taking Back the Class

January 3, 2020January 2, 2020 ~ magistraberg ~ Leave a comment

The first part of this post is all about Brain Breaks. The second part of this post is part one of my follow-up to ACTFL 2019.

Stepping Back and Taking Stock

October 25, 2019January 2, 2020 ~ magistraberg ~ Leave a comment

This week has been rough. Very rough. The students are far past comfortable with me and the class - now, they are pushing boundaries and limits to see where the line is drawn. If I'm honest with myself, they've gotten away with a bit of chaos. I haven't been 100% on script with the whole … Continue reading Stepping Back and Taking Stock

Class Management

July 26, 2019July 25, 2019 ~ magistraberg ~ Leave a comment

(Knock on wood...) Generally, I have few classroom management issues on a day to day basis. Most of my students want to be in my class - it was their choice - and I have learned over the last 15 years of teaching that I have to pick my battles.
