They just happen as I’m going. ]]> 2023-02-20 19:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488815365 Listen! Be quiet! https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488815850 2023-02-20 19:23:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488815850 I use gestures to indicate for students to be silent but I am going to add a gesture that reinforces when students need to listen. https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488815972 2023-02-20 19:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488815972 I do use gestures. I often use the listen to me, listen to a student, and silence gestures. I also have some other gestures of my own to indicate how students should divide into groups or to indicate that they should speak with a partner. https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488816161 2023-02-20 19:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488816161 https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488816342 I only use basic gestures like silencio and siéntate. 
I would like to use all of the gestures you have mentioned today. They seem like a great way to get students to understand what you are saying in the target language. ]]> 2023-02-20 19:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488816342 https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488816354 Ok, silence, stand up, sit down, open your bk to pg, etc. Clear gestures but would like to add others]]> 2023-02-20 19:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488816354 Yes, I use gestures. Most of the time I use the stop, start and continue working signals. Yes, my gestures are clear. I would like to use the individual and group work gestures. https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488816664 2023-02-20 19:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488816664 https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488816807 I use the listening and silencio gestures. I have not used the dividing group gesture. ]]> 2023-02-20 19:24:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488816807 https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488816826 Yes I use gestures but not enough, I want to learn more to use in my classroom]]> 2023-02-20 19:24:51 UTC https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488816826 https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488816839 I like the idea of planned, obvious gestures. I'm going to suggest them to the ESOL teachers that I coach. We use TPR, but not necessarily for routines.]]> 2023-02-20 19:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488816839 https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488816863 Listen, speak, read, write,with a partner, with group of 3…
Yes, students understand them easily ]]> 2023-02-20 19:24:55 UTC https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488816863 https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488817030 I use the vast majority of the gestures you displayed! I think they are clear, but students often feign ignorance. 😏]]> 2023-02-20 19:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488817030 https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488817187 I need to start using gestures in my classroom. I will start using gestures for verbs, nouns and expressions. ]]> 2023-02-20 19:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488817187 Yes, I use gestures every day like speak, listen, stand up, sit down, left, right, up and down. https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488817751 2023-02-20 19:26:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488817751 https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488817784 Yes, I use lots of gestures. I think they are clear because I model them all the time. I use Escucha all the time & Repite, por favor. ]]> 2023-02-20 19:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dbirchmerillas/jnr02vohkcrxyr1j/wish/2488817784
