This is a template teachers can use to help guide them on how to remix digital humanities and/or authentic materials with the Pathways Project activities. Digital Humanities sites take collections of video, text, audio or other artifacts and transform them into something that is widely accessible online. While some sites are just virtual collections of content, the best sites showcase this information in new and interesting ways.

Your Turn! Customize Pathways Interpersonal Speaking Activities with Authentic Materials

(View Complete Item Description)

In this one hour webinar, you’ll watch two demonstrations (one for Higher Ed and one for K-12) where we locate Pathways interpersonal speaking activities and customize them in real-time “live”. We’ll revise, remix, and redistribute the activity, modeling why you’d make changes and showcasing how. We’ll re-visit our newly published authentic materials and digital humanities booklet to demonstrate how easy it is to find resources to align to the activity to enhance it for interpretive communication and intercultural competence learning outcomes. We’ll show you how easy it is to make these changes within OER Commons and to license your work for other teachers to use.

Spanish Level 1, K-12 Practicing Directions/Locations (face-to-face)

(View Complete Item Description)

This activity is revised for a face-to-face K-12 classroom, although it is most appropriate for secondary (middle school and high school) levels. I added layers to the warm-up and cool-down and the entirety of the activity could easily last one full (50 minute) class period or be divided into two classes. The entire activity is contextualized as an authentic performance task where prospective students go on a virtual “university campus tour”.
