Action Research Update

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?
