Bellringers
http://martinabex.com/2011/11/18/la-campanada/
Bell ringers can tie into the previous day’s lesson and leads into the current day. For example: from a class story…type up 6-8 sentences and have them translate them, use current and previous vocabulary structures and have them translate them, from cultural unit, have them write 3 things they remember and 2 they wish they knew more about, do some matching activities with translation or a story character, information, etc. with a statement to match, etc. You can also prepare a Mad-Lib asking as a bell ringer for the words they will put in the blank (since TPRS does not do explicit grammar…ask for a word describing a thing, a person’s name, etc.), from a class story they can write the names of the characters and a sentence about them or, give the name and a cue word that they need to use regarding that person in the story, etc

Clip Art
http://www.caslt.org/resources/general/program-support-clip-art_en.php
New collection of clip art that contained a large number of HPI
files (Hemera Stock Photo Images). These are mostly photographs, but the
software that come with it does not allow for transparent backgrounds.
Fortunately, I found some German freeware from a man by the name of Udo
Schneider that converts these files into PNG files that do allow a transparent
background. The following PowerPoint better explains visually what I mean
here if you are interested.
