Comprehensive distance learning is the instructional model for the digital classroom in which students will find themselves this term. Students will spend more time than ever on screens in synchronous and asynchronous lessons and less time working with physical texts. By providing my AP/IB Spanish students with books of their choice (free voluntary reading) that they can read at home, I can give learners not only high interest materials to develop their readings skills and build their vocabulary in the target language, but also an important and needed break from the laptop or cell phone screen.
"Picking up word meanings by reading is 10 times faster than intensive vocabulary instruction" --- Stephen Krashen, UCLA Professor Emeritus, Linguistics/Language Acquisition.
To check out a book, students will select a title from our class library list and submit the title to me via a Google Form. On pick-up days, students will visit (by car o bike) the drive-through library to be staged in our school parking lot. Social distancing and safety protocols will be followed at all times. Completed books* will be exchanged for new at future drive-throughs. In the case that a student may not be able to travel to school to pick up a book, I will make special arrangements to ensure that a book is delivered to that student's home.
Once we return to face-to-face instruction, these books will continue to be used and enjoyed in our growing classroom library by many AP/IB Spanish classes to come.
*Note: All returned books will be quarantined for three days or more before they are checked out to another student.
