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.

Tell me and I will forget

teach me and I may remember

involve me and I learn
