This blog is where I'll share about my quest to become a master teacher of High School Spanish. I will try to share my successes, failures, insights, resources and more here. I hope this will help others in education to reflect upon their own practices and share their experiences with our community of readers.

TEACH high frequency, COVER the rest.
I love this quote from Blaine Ray - "TEACH high frequency, COVER the rest." It is such a great piece of advice. I've been stressing over all the vocabulary that I need to "teach" this semester as it seems like third year Spanish has waaaaay more grammar than is viable. But as long as I stick to teaching the high frequency stuff, I can "cover" the rest through being random vocabulary in stories and on their vocabulary lists. *sigh* It was just the piece of advice I was looking for today. Sometimes I just need someone to remind me what TPRS is all about.
