Do you want your students to feel connected to their work and why they are doing it? Do you want your students to see the connections with the target language and culture? In this session, the presenter will walk you through several teacher-created examples that focus on connecting authentic resources, realistic purposes, and real audiences, while incorporating and soliciting student interest through transfer tasks that have been created while working with Dr. Jennifer Eddy of Queens College. The Spanish examples shown will include the sources, rubrics, and other related materials. The projects shown can be modified for different levels and languages. If there is time, participants can begin their own during the session.
