Examples of Can do descriptors, speaking:

G. 1-2, Level 2, Beginning: Describe what people do from action picturesG. 1-2, Level 3, Developing: Retell simple stories from picture cues, Make predictions or hypothesesG. 9-12, Level 3, Developing: Sequence processes, cycles, procedures, or eventsG. 9-12, Level 4, Expanding Explain content-related issues and concepts Compare and contrast points of view

(from http://www.wida.us/standards/CAN_DOs/)What do we want?Students who dont panicStudents who open their mouth and tryStudents who see the lesson as an adventure

9:155In a second or third-year course, what quality of output would these two media clips provoke?ZPD/flow/I+1

Image of Darth VaderCalm, static, photoFor many kids, not engaging or challengingAmbiguous

Star Wars: Attack of the Clones-Frenetic, chaoticFor all but a few, too difficult to describe with confiidenceWhat do we want?Students who dont panicStudents who open their mouth and tryStudents who see the lesson as an adventure

I am suggesting that we want students to play with the language

9:1510I want Powerpoint to be their doll house, army men, action figure in short, their toy for learning the TL

A good toyHas a level of complexity to it such that its owner is neither bored nor overwhelmed

Now, lets talk about YOUhttp://etscu89.blogfa.com/http://stressexperts.co.uk/stressed-out-teachers/

In order to be useful, these tipsUse Clip Art (you dont have to draw anything)

Use animation and the Arrange button (to move things and stack them on the screen)

For the ambitious, use a bit of the Basic Shapes tool in Power Point

and 4. Take less than 10 minutes!

In case I forget elsewhereUse a white background when employing these tricksOften Clipart (unless based on a .wmf file) is situated inside a white box, which is distracting when noticed.

Tips and tricks, getting startedThis part of presentation will proceed from easiest to hardestUse the blank template when employing these tricks, with no themes or background colorsTake notes, but Im giving you a copy of what you are seeing hereFigures in motion to tell all/part of a storyGrab student attention betterAllow you to focus on action verbs and directionalityPutting figures in front of and behind movement creates opportunityYou can add artifacts easily via .wmf filesAdding sound#1 Simulating meandering, strolling, changing ones mindTwo steps

To alter/organize an animation, click on the figure that you want to change, and use the Animation Pane

Adding other figures and placing figures in front of your moving figure is a great way to introduce scenario and cultural practice/product

If the stack gets out of order

Adding sound effectsTo add a general sound:

To add a sound to a specific object:Click on object, select Insert menu to action, click Play sound

Places to get soundsClip art, select audio under Selected media types

I also enjoy using freesound.org a great deal

Once you find a sound you like, you must save it on to your pc and then browse to it. Allow me to demonstrate to those interested during lab time.

SummaryTell stories, let the kids use your pres. like an action figure or doll houseAnimation has its own menuThe Arrange menu lets you change how things are stacked

If you get stuck or have an Idea that you want help with, email Greg@GregSanchezConsulting.com

Lab timeIf you have a lap top, receive and copy the Powerpoint folder from the jump drive and pass on to the next personOr, if you have internet, go to www.GregSanchezConsulting.com/powerpoint

Activities

Continued to repeat or retime an animation, click on the object then.

Here I have used rectangles and ovals to help create props. On the next slide are all of the pieces without ovals and rectangles, and I have scrambled the figures from front to back. Use Shapes (Insert Shapes), animation, and the Order Objects tools (Click Home Arrange Bring to front, Send to Back, etc.) to practice these skills

Using Entrance and ExitDr. Mrs. Vandertramp verbs example:

In closingA simple animation focuses attention on what you wish to have described better than a movie or even a pictureBy using animation with props, you have created a playground for you and your studentsI want to see what you are doing and help you to do it better. Please contact me at Greg@GregSanchezConsulting.com and I will send files back and forth with you as much as I can. I want to build relationships with teachers who want to leverage Powerpoint for all it can do.I have more advanced versions of this workshop available that focus on teacher collaboration. Please see me if youd like to know more.
