Soy-Yo

Note for EDFN 530: This is one lesson in a whole unit. Assume that students have already been presented with the vocabulary and grammar and we've scaffolded to the point of supported student-centered learning. The Xtranormal video will be one part of a summative assessment portfolio for this unit. Writing/Reading/Culture will be assessed as well via additional formative and summative assessments.

Estudiantes, How would you like to be the star of your own video? Have you seen Xtranormal used on YouTube? If not, we will explore some videos made using this program - I'm sure you will love them! For this unit, we will describe ourselves and each other using vocabulary for physical selves (tall, athletic, handsome...) as well as our character (intelligent, funny, organized...). We will review and practice question words, the verbs Ser and Tener and noun/adjective as well as subject/verb agreement. So what's the fun part? You! You will make this activity fun by becoming a computer programmer, a chat room star and the subject of a Guess Who game! This unit is all about you. It's your time to shine!

Due: Nada Graded Work: Sporcle Vocabulary Quiz HW: Wanted Poster > EDFN 530 Note: At the time of publishing, I was fighting a glitch on Sporcle that would not allow me to add photos to the quiz. I emailed the support team and am awaiting a response. If I need to upgrade in order to add photos, it's a service no longer provided (or I imagined it in the first place) or it is still "down" on quiz day, I would print sample photos of each person and number them 1-20 for the students.
 * Day 1**
 * 1) Please report to the Explorer Computer Lab at class start time.
 * 2) Open the Character Map (Start - All Programs - System Tools - Accessories - Character Map)

 * Day 2**
 * 1) Review of Yes/No question formation with Sra. di Febo.
 * I will ask yes/no questions about each of you, then you will get to ask me some yes/no questions.
 * 1) GAME! "Sheriff" You will be divided into three teams. Each team member will have a turn to play the role of Sheriff. I will let the sheriff see the description (not the photo or name) from one of the Wanted Posters your class created. The sheriff may share this information with her/his deputies (the rest of the team) //in Spanish//. The first team to "arrest" the wanted criminal by giving them a sticker to put on their shoulder will win the a point and we will start a new round. Warning! No one said one of your deputies would never be a criminal! Watch out for turncoats!
 * HW: Write 10 yes/no questions in Spanish in preparation for tomorrow's Guess Who game. Your questions should help you get clues from peers to guess who they are.

Due: 10 questions Graded Work: Each student must post 10 yes/no questions (they do not have to be the exact questions you've prepared for HW. Each student must also respond to all questions asked of them in a timely manner in complet Spanish sentences.) HW: 1: Watch my XN Video. 2: Bubbl Mind Map

 * 2) We will list the alter egos on the board and you will work together as a class to decode who is who.
 * 3) Please use the code emailed to you this morning to log in to our Chatzy room. (If you have not checked your email or you've deleted it, you may recover it on my desktop computer.)
 * 4) HW Part 1: Watch my Xtranormal video on this wiki (if we finish our alter ego list early, we can watch it together along with some other sample videos done by other users.)
 * 5) HW Part 2: On Bubbl, create a mind map of description words and phrases that describe you. Your core bubble should be your name. I used the subcategories: Cabeza (hair, face, etc), Cuerpo (height, build) and Personalidad. This is //your// brainstorm so organize it however it works best for you. Submit this electronically. (*EDFN Note: Students are instructed that "electronically" means to drag/drop documents or upload links/media into our "Teacher Folders" - shared folders on the school system.)
