World Language Fair Each class will be responsible for creating and running a language booth. A language booth is any kind of activity with a task that involves language. Be thinking of ideas…
What is a Language Booth? • A language booth can be any kind of scenario that requires communication. • For each scenario, there needs to be some kind of a task to complete. Let me show you what I mean. Here are a few booths from last year:
Boggle Show-down (ASL) Task: Participants play a round of Boggle, then fingerspell their list of words they found to the person running the booth.
Clothing Store (ASL) Task: Participant describes a few items of clothing that he or she would like to “buy”. Student running the booth asks questions to clarify which articles of clothing.
A few business items about the Fair • Participating in and running the booth for the World Language Fair will be an assignment that will go on your 3rd quarter grade.
A few business items about the Fair • It is in the evening, so I realize there may be some who have conflicts. • Hopefully, you can plan ahead with work schedules. If you are unable to fill a shift, I will have a research project you can do instead.
A few business items about the Fair • We will work out scheduling later on. The fair runs from 5:00-7:00. You will sign up for a 30 minute shift to run the booth.
A few business items about the Fair • Sometime before or after your shift, you will go around and visit all of the other ASL booths. You will be given a passport you will take with you to each booth. Upon completion of a language booth task, you will get a stamp in your passport.
Enough of the business! Let’s brainstorm some ideas for your booth.
On a piece of paper… • Write down an idea or two for a language booth. Write down what the topic would be, and what kind of task would be involved. • Example: Topic: A pet store. Task: Students need to ask questions about the pets--size, color, if they are friendly, good for small children, etc.
Hand in your papers • I will make a list of your suggestions, and at the end of class we will vote on booth ideas.
