Bringing The Lesson to Life: 4th - 12th Grade Interpreting

0.3 CEUs, PS

In this workshop we will discuss how an educational interpreter can use personification in a junior high school setting. How we can become our subject. History lessons have many rich opportunities to do this, which will be demonstrated. We will look in on how during biology class you can become the animal or in science become an atom!

    This was another great workshop and very beneficial. I enjoyed the way Keith taught it and how he encouraged us to give positive feedback to each other. I can't wait to use some of these techniques in my daily interpreting.
