Pre-Conference Workshop
Thursday, November 5, 2015
10:00 a.m. 4:00 p.m.
Donna Clementi
This workshop will explore how 21st century literacies are reinforced and enhanced in the world language classroom.
Participants will examine model units and lessons to identify how 21st century literacies are integrated and assessed.
Working collaboratively, participants will outline units with SLOs (student learning outcomes) that reflect these literacies:
C Global literacy: Acquire knowledge and understanding of the products, practices, and perspectives of people and places
around the world; use this knowledge and understanding to work collaboratively in virtual environments.
C Media literacy: Understand, interpret, and analyze what is heard, read, or viewed; present information and ideas using
appropriate media to a global audience; understand and adhere to legal and ethical practices when using and creating
information.
C Digital literacy: Use a variety of technology tools effectively to access resources, select tools, curate materials, and create
new products.

Clockwise from top left above, students visiting the Ancient Americas Exhibit at Chicagos Field
Museum of Natural History, Miamis Ancient Spanish Monastery, the oldest building in the Western
Hemisphere, and Jesus Helguera's iconic painting depicting the legend of Popocatpetl and Iztacchuatl at
Chicagos National Museum of Mexican Art.
We at
Spanish on Location have long believed that unless students get interested
early, in the people, history and culture of the places where Spanish is spoken, they
will not stay enrolled in Spanish for the joy of conjugating irregular verbs.
To get them interested, and keep them interested, the study of Spanish needs to be fun,
interesting and relevant, and the best way to make it so, is to get students out of their zip
codes, with teachers who can connect and reinforce what their students are learning in class
to what is happening in the real world. This is no less important to a language student than
looking through a microscope would be to a student of biology. Seeing is believing.
For further information about our short, affordable, but meticulously planned trips to Chicago,
Miami and New York City, please visit our web site, SpanishOnLocation.com or better yet,
call us at
855.628.2894.
We sincerely believe that our comparatively inexpensive Spanish field trips, developed and
refined over 30 years, are the very best available anywhere, and we look forward to
demonstrating that to you.
