Here is a spot to ask you initial questions on TPR! fri1zkreig https://padlet.com/fri1zkreig/z88ldt2r423x/wish/256243414 2018-04-28 18:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/fri1zkreig/z88ldt2r423x/wish/256243414 This seems a little "new age" right? I see you explained it in the instructional resource, but how would I explain this to a parent? fri1zkreig https://padlet.com/fri1zkreig/z88ldt2r423x/wish/256260955 GREAT QUESTION!  I like to use metaphors, or use pop culture to explain things.  If people are familiar with the Karate Kid films, TPR is in a way similar to the "teacher" in those films using repetative labor tasks, to teach muscle memory related to martial art techniques.]]> 2018-04-29 00:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/fri1zkreig/z88ldt2r423x/wish/256260955 What can we do about complex niche content area vocabulary? Sure it is easy to mime sleep, but what about something like species, or biome? fri1zkreig https://padlet.com/fri1zkreig/z88ldt2r423x/wish/256261264 That is one of the cool and interesting things about TPR, unique and or funny movements can be just as, if not more effective as easily understandable mimeming. ]]> 2018-04-29 00:42:55 UTC https://padlet.com/fri1zkreig/z88ldt2r423x/wish/256261264
