Need some emergency
lesson plans? Something even a non-target language speaking person can
do? This is ideal for those times when you need something in a rush. No
prep needed!
The DVD contains one
complete set of lesson plans any sub can use. There are worksheets to
keep the students active and ideas for two or three days of follow-up
activities so the teacher can capitalize on the DVD material. There's
even a quiz to give the students over the material!
This
is a video with just the 3 stories from the sub DVDs on it. The
stories run approximately 20 minutes total and the menu lets you
select which story you want to use
For less than
the price of one hardback book, you can purchase this book and use
it with your entire class. This is the first in my series of Big
Screen Readers, books on PowerPoint so the students can follow along
as you read to them.
Perfect for this
time of year, L'Automne will give your students season-specific
vocabulary as they increase their language skills through the classroom
discussion. Included are also a vocabulary matching and a translation
worksheet to accompany the book. All the materials are on the CD-ROM
and are.ppt, .doc or .pdf files.
The Renny series
of Big Screen Readers follows Renny le chien
through stories from her point of view. The stories are told primarily
in first person, which aids students in their use of that form when
talking about themselves. The stories follow the Big Screen Reader
format of a PowerPoint story with question links to ask as the whole
class reads the book together. There is also a 5-worksheet packet
on the CD-ROM that includes vocab matching, comprehension questions
and translation exercises.
As an added feature,
all Renny readers come with an MP4 video of Renny reading the PowerPoint.
With purchase of this book, the teacher may allow students in their
classes to copy the MP4 video onto their iPods for their own use.
Great for absent students or in-school suspension work!

Alternate Reality Learning (ARL) Kits:
ARL kits contain materials
to turn your classroom into a new world. The core module includes a PowerPoint
presentation that assigns each student their new role in the alternate

"new" people (or ducks) they will be learning with this year.
ARLs are ideal for a TPRS classroom. More modules will be added as they
become available.
