Talk:Using cultural artifacts in the language classroom

Developmental Tryout -- Jzmiyarch (talk) 17:19, 16 November 2015 (EST)

Hi Eliza,

I really enjoyed viewing your mini-course! It looks like you're off to a great start! I can tell that you have really spent a lot of time with creating this course and all the little pieces that have all made it all come together. Great job! I noticed that when I went to clock on your Lesson 2 for Unit 1, it brought me back to Lesson 1. I don't know if you just haven't developed this lesson yet or if maybe there is a typo somewhere..something to consider :) I think that you could be creative with your layout by inserting more pictures. As a student in high school and college, I always enjoyed taking Spanish. What drew me to this course was the culture and looking at all of the pictures of the different holidays and festivals that are celebrated. I think that if you brought more color to your pages through using pictures of these artifacts, it'll really bring emphasis to the importance of the mini-course.

Keep up the good work!

Hi Jess!

Thank you so much for your feedback! I will definitely add more pictures, I thought about that before but I thought it might be too overwhelming but its nice to know that it will actually better my product! I will continue working on my other lessons this weekend and during Thanksgiving break so maybe we could give each other more feedback before the module is complete.

Thank you again for all of your positive thoughts and suggestions!

Hi Eliza :) That sounds great! Thanks for your help and feedback as well. As for the picture sizes I used...I just played around with it. Getting pictures in the course has probably been the hardest part for me. Especially since when I go back to do it again I can never remember how I did it! Sorry I can't be more helpful on that!
