TPRS in a Week

These are a few examples of how I prepare my lesson plans organized into a series of 3 block days (5-6 non-block days).  Italicized annotations explain each component and how I implement it in my classroom.  These are based on the TPRS methodology for teaching foreign language.  Listed standards come from the Idaho State World Languages standards.
