Visual orthography: Sino/Si no

Another poster

for a quick review
to post it in your class blog
to make a poster and display it in your class
to have a new idea with it
...

A possible activity:
I make my students to write a journal for my Spanish class. I like simple ideas: one class, one entry. For each entry I make them use a specific cohesive device / connector.
I use this poster to do a quick review during that class and then I project it on the board while they write their entry [I give them 5 minutes to write their daily entry at the end of each class].

Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.

Visual orthography: Punctuation [dos puntos]

I use these visual stimuli in my classes all the time, every day.
It doesn't have to be something you really spend a lot of time on it.
It works great to

warm up your class before you get into longer/more complicated things
use it like quick daily reminders
use it as flashcards to review if you print them out and make a booklet with them
use as posters to decorate and inspire your class
.....

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

Visual orthography: Punctuation [los puntos suspensivos]

It's important when we are teaching or learning something to
- make a connection (even better if it's a personal one)
- write or see an example
- find a real-life situation/example that help us internalize what we are studying
- give/receive feedback [you can ask your teacher, or a friend that is also learning Spanish to comment on what you are doing and/or ask for an opinion]

In this case I propose a few lines from a beautiful poem to help us internalize the use of punctuation in Spanish.
