Andrea Claassen ====================== 97/09 From-> Julianne Baird Subject: Re: problem meshing old curriculum kids and TPR-S kids – help! Blaine Ray occasionally has some kids join his level 2 Spanish class who have had NO Spanish 1. These kids tend to be very bright and motivated. He says that it might take a week or two before these kids get the hang of the method, but they do catch on and they do just as well with any *new* material as the rest of the class. Occasionally they will have problems with vocab learned from first year, but most of the kids adjust. I realize that you are mixing two differently taught middle school classes – and these classes probably don’t contain only the best and brightest students. If you feel compelled to start over with TPR, add a lot of new vocabulary items and actions so that last year’s TPR group will not get bored and disruptive.
