Stepping Back and Taking Stock

October 25, 2019October 23, 2019 ~ 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

How MovieTalk Became Watch & Write

October 18, 2019October 18, 2019 ~ magistraberg ~ Leave a comment

I have tried this CI staple - MovieTalk - five times now... the way it was originally supposed to be done (I understood it first from this post on The Comprehensible Classroom blog), an edited version of the way it was to be done (which for me was to script out my stops and my … Continue reading How MovieTalk Became Watch & Write

O di immortales! Carmina in Classe!

October 4, 2019October 4, 2019 ~ magistraberg ~ Leave a comment

I wish I had known what to do with songs or just how awesome teaching with songs is... Before I delve into what we've been doing in Latin I this week or just how excited all my Latin classes are to do songs, I have to start by saying thanks to a few folks. Latin … Continue reading O di immortales! Carmina in Classe!

Card Talk is Better (for me)

September 27, 2019September 26, 2019 ~ magistraberg ~ Leave a comment

I have tried PQAs (Personalized Question and Answers) a few times now and all I can say is that I need more structure. I am still new to using Latin to conduct the majority of my class and though I know the language, I still mess it up when trying to communicate with students. I … Continue reading Card Talk is Better (for me)

VINCO (a listening bingo-like word race) and more…

September 13, 2019September 14, 2019 ~ magistraberg ~ Leave a comment

A review of three activities that worked very well in class. At least one of them, I believe, might be an activity of my own imagination. VINCO* Though I myself am not a fan of BINGO, my students have always seemed to love it. Though, in reality, the game offers little in the way of … Continue reading VINCO (a listening bingo-like word race) and more…

Sharing is Caring

August 2, 2019July 30, 2019 ~ magistraberg ~ Leave a comment

There is a lot about Social Media which brings out the worst in people, but sometimes I absolutely love learning about new ideas, activities, websites, games, on and on, from folks I only know and interact with through Social Media. Social Media can be the greatest of salons: A salon is a gathering of people under the … Continue reading Sharing is Caring

Teacher Notebook

July 19, 2019July 25, 2019 ~ magistraberg ~ Leave a comment

In an effort to keep myself organized this next year while doing new (to me) activities and lessons, as well as find a way to record class behavior and/or misbehavior without a ton of extra "things" hanging around that I need to keep track of, I've put together a notebook of resources. Here's what I'm … Continue reading Teacher Notebook
