Yesterday, both sections of my Spanish 1 class participated in an inner/outer circle activity. We went outside to do this because we needed the extra space. Up to this point, they have learned several pieces to a conversation one would have when meeting someone for the first time. During this inner/outer circle activity, the students conversed in Spanish the different pieces of this conversation. They asked each other things like: What's your name?...Where are you from?...How are you?...How old are you?...etc. It was a great review activity as they have their oral presentations today. I think the movement and the changing of locations to do this activity really engaged the students and they did a great job with it.
As I implement more activities that incorporate movement, I will encounter some challenges. Many of the activities I have in mind are somewhat simple activites that don't require the student to think critically. How can I incorporate movement as well as make the activity challenging?
