About my class

Gallery walks and station work are two strategies that work well with adolescents at the high school level. They allow for a low risk opportunity to share unique (brave) point of views. In turn students learn from each other as they view and process each others works and products. In Spanish we use learn how to give advice and make suggestions throughout the subjunctive. An ideal way to use a gallery walk for this unit would be to post 10-15 situations for students to offer advice (How to succeed in chemistry class? What to do when you are bored during Summer vacation, etc...). Students would rotate through the posts by 1. reading the prompt, 2. reading advice added by previous individual student and 3. adding their own bit of advice. Once all students have made it to all posts, 4. a final walk through occurs when all students experience the contributions all class members have made. The student work would serve as a display that can ground students on our work, as a source of ideas or as a scaffold. The best part of all is that it would be student created material. Learning together and from each other are key to language growth and development. All members of a community have something valuable to share and ideas to help each other expand.
