I am affirming and encouraging towards my students. https://padlet.com/durhamacademy/942z2onsxuu9or9i/wish/1902057325 2021-11-19 13:33:17 UTC https://padlet.com/durhamacademy/942z2onsxuu9or9i/wish/1902057325 I want to make sure what is in my room is necessary. I have student created flashcards in a word wall, a grammar wall for present tense verb endings, a poster with expressions for intermediates to extend their thinking and also, student work is displayed.

Students get a lot of positive reinforcement and very little (Or zero )correction at this stage. I increase the level progressively throughout the year. jesussanchez15_2 https://padlet.com/durhamacademy/942z2onsxuu9or9i/wish/1902324397 2021-11-19 15:22:36 UTC https://padlet.com/durhamacademy/942z2onsxuu9or9i/wish/1902324397 ​​Hello!
