TPRS year 6 reflection

So I'm currently finishing up year 10 of teaching and year 6 of implementing TPRS and CI strategies in my classroom.

Some things that I experimented with in Spanish 1 (my only level this year) were:

1. bumping up the level of embedded readings
2. finding ways to practice 1st and 2nd person forms with actors
3. varying forms of verbs and popping up the grammar about them
4. using phrases/expressions that I haven't used in Spanish 1 yet
5. trying out New Blaine Ray materials and ditching them after semester 1
6. "hanging out" with my students (easy to do with 90 minute blocks and when students want to  talk even a little bit about their lives)

Here's a brief reflection on each.
