You really thought about everything- where in a unit this could happen, how to tailor it for different levels, and relevant vocabulary. I also like that you picked a topic that is so relevant in today's culture. Looking at obesity across in different cultures can expose students to different attitudes and reactions.<br /><br />I thought your pictures really added to the post. I think students will really like to see pictures from places they are learning about taken by someone they know. It makes the material more relatable. I would like to be in your class :) (despite my phobia of foreign languages...).Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09875793521192078641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2278736220346488277.post-73079758877230998442012-07-16T14:33:42.343-07:002012-07-16T14:33:42.343-07:00Musetta - I will never make excuses for the frailt...Musetta - I will never make excuses for the frailties of my age, except for my eyes, which I must admit have a harder time reading small print - no jokes about phones with big numbers.<br /><br />But your blog did remind me of drinking bottled cola while traveling through certain southern Mediterranean countries some time ago, when it was best to drink only bottled beverages.<br /><br />I did spent Christmas week 1999 on Margarita Island (Venezuela), but I only drank beer then (Polar!).<br /><br />And did you know that Coke bottled in Mexico is somewhat prized in the U.S., as it is still made with pure cane sugar, and not that high fructose corn syrup that is slowing poisoning us all?Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10295435823723277352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2278736220346488277.post-45533495386453297832012-07-16T07:35:05.035-07:002012-07-16T07:35:05.035-07:00I like your adaptations of the soda ban article to...I like your adaptations of the soda ban article to a Spanish class! I can definitely see how such a relationship could be difficult to develop. Your approach to enriching the students' vocabulary not only sparks content-specific communication but also helps incorporates text into the lesson in a novel way (at least in my opinion ;-)PLGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922041622582651061noreply@blogger.com
