Have them switch desks, walk around as you teach, throw a ball as you call on students, choose a fun word and everytime you say it the students have to clap twice, use student volunteers, wear bright clothing, teach outside, and require a "what are three things you learned" ticket out the door slip.

How to transition from one activity to another:
Use verbal cues like before, during, and after transition, use concrete references to measure time (example: two more songs then it's clean up time), post schedules of the day's agenda, maintain consistant routines, and plan to give students enough time for each activity so they are ready to switch activities when you need them to.

The closure in a lesson plan in a way, is to make sure the students understand what has happened in the lesson.  The students need to reflect on what they learned in the lesson taught to them and how they can now move forward with the new information they learned.

One resource I found was this video going more in depth of what a lesson closure is and it also gave an example  of how it is used in the classroom.

One of the best techniques that I have read, learned and best understood from was to do something different everyday. This way you are not solely focused on what group of learning techniques, but also keeping your students engaged and focused.

Some of these examples include; if applicable having students read to animals in shelter or elderly at nursing home, printing out Spanish sentences outside of the classroom while they work with a partner-one goes in and out of the room reading the Spanish sentence and remembering to the best of their ability while the other must write down what that student is telling them, and another idea would be meeting with war veterans face to face and conducting a history project on them.]]> 2020-10-11 18:05:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kowaam10/u8u0lv67skguhlfx/wish/819882564 selng05 https://padlet.com/kowaam10/u8u0lv67skguhlfx/wish/819889750 When teaching in different styles and techniques to multiple cultures and learning abilities, a lot of materials need to be readily available at the students use.

Some of these may include; class materials on tape with headphones, print outs of Spanish words to be taped on the wall outside of the classroom, a ball to throw to kids when they raise their hand, a bucket of tongue twisters for kids to say in their head-when finished with homework and waiting quietly, extra pencils and paper to have students create own tongue twisters for the class, etc.

The key of the materials is to change it as much as you change the dynamics and different teaching techniques with the class. Keeping the students engaged while also excited for class is what will aid and assist the students and the teachers.]]> 2020-10-11 18:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kowaam10/u8u0lv67skguhlfx/wish/819889750 wiebkm21 https://padlet.com/kowaam10/u8u0lv67skguhlfx/wish/820197536 The body describes what the teacher will be doing, what the student will be doing, and how long each task will take. The body of the learning tasks should include as many details about the content that's being taught and how it will be presented. The language function aspect should also be addressed in the body. Having a detailed plan could even include a script of what you plan to say to the student

The body is an important function when planning lessons because it is the framework of what the entire class will be doing and helps to keep the class on track towards their learning goals. 

An example of body could be: a table with separate columns for student tasks and teacher's tasks. Each column should include "Teacher will" and "Student will" statements to make each task clear. Then a third column for the time allotted to each task. Assigning a time period to each task will help the class stay on track. ]]> 2020-10-12 00:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kowaam10/u8u0lv67skguhlfx/wish/820197536
