\"petitdej\"<\/a>One of the great things about being in the second year of the process of becoming more proficiency-based in my teaching is that I am able to rely on some of the materials I created last year.\u00a0 While I\u2019ve found myself modifying many of these units, I\u2019m also trying to reuse those lessons that I found were effective in accomplishing the goals that I have identified for my students.\u00a0 Having chosen Balance<\/em> as my #oneword for this year, I definitely have to resist the urge to completely recreate each unit (Although I\u2019m tempted!).<\/p>\n

One unit that I\u2019m hoping to change very little is the Food and Mealtimes unit that I used with my French 1 students last year.\u00a0 This unit, which I shared in three separate posts last year (post 1<\/a>, post 2<\/a>, post 3<\/a>), was effective in developing my students’ cultural competency regarding Francophone mealtimes as well as their proficiency across the modes. On a practical level, however, the length of this unit caused some minor record-keeping problems.\u00a0 Because 80% of my students\u2019 grades are based on end of unit IPA\u2019s, these students had no major grades for several weeks.\u00a0 In order to remedy this issue, I\u2019ve decided to give a series of IPA\u2019s throughout this unit. In this way I can assure that my students and their parents have adequate information about their progress throughout the unit.<\/p>\n

This first IPA<\/a>, therefore, will assess the students\u2019 ability to communicate in each mode on the topic of breakfast.\u00a0 In the interpretive reading they will interpret an article\u00a0(page 1<\/a>, page 2<\/a> \u00a0)from Astrapi <\/em>magazine about making breakfast in bed for Father\u2019s Day.\u00a0 In the interpretive listening they will watch a video about healthy breakfasts.\u00a0 Although I included short answer questions here, my students will actually take a multiple choice version on our Learning Management System, Canvas. As always, I do not expect my Novice Mid students to be able to correctly answer all of these questions! I like to build lots of stretch into my listening comprehension, but to assess based on their current proficiency.\u00a0 In this case, the students are only expected to be able to answer a handful of the questions by identifying key words that they have practiced for the last few days.\u00a0 After these two interpretive activities, the students will complete an interpersonal communication task in which they play the role of either a Belgian teenager or American exchange student.\u00a0 As I\u2019ve discussed in previous posts, I\u2019ve found that I can more fully integrate culture across the modes by assigning the students roles that will allow them to demonstrate the cultural competence they\u2019ve gained as a result of their work in the unit. Finally, they will write a blog entry about Belgian breakfast habits.<\/p>\n

Although it will take a little additional time to grade multiple IPA’s, I think the feedback that my students receive will make this extra effort well worth it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
