I won an hour-long coaching session with Bryce and used it this week to prepare for an interview. He is so knowledgeable and helpful that I went into the interview feeling calm and prepared. Before having this coaching session, Bryce had already changed my career because I use his methods of Comprehensible Input (Special Persons Interviews and Rejoinders) and my students are enjoying class while acquiring the language. My students are much more engaged and they speak Spanish because they want to. Bryce is an amazing leader in acquisition based learning and a star to follow in learning how to use Comprehensible Input in the classroom. If you are looking for new ideas to make your classroom better, set up a coaching session with Bryce, you won’t be disappointed.

I return to this non-fiction resource year after year. Perfect for students who love geography, animals, ancient civilizations and more! Great for free reading, springboard for projects or for fast-finishers. Enjoy!

Comment on Special Person How-To by Bryce Hedstrom

Hi Carmon,
Good questions. I’ll answer them in order:

1) How does every student get an opportunity to speak? You go around the room. Each student reads aloud just one sentence they wrote about the interview. This fills in gaps that some may have missed. You’re right: it would be boring to hear every sentence that everyone had written. Too much needless repetition.

2) Does every student read all of their sentences? No. each student you call on reads just one sentence. In early interviews, when there is not much vocabulary and not many facts can be expressed, every student will not get a chance to speak. That’s OK because they learn more from listening.

3) How do you ensure you get a variety of information shared instead of the same fact over and over? Do not allow repetitions: “I think we’ve had that one already…” Allow the superstar student(s) to sparkle here. These 1-3 kids will have some sentences that were uttered in the interview, but not repeated enough for everyone to get. Confirm with the interviewee if those sentences are correct.

Hi, Bryce. I am very new to using CI in the classroom. I am learning a lot from your site. Thank you! I think I followed your steps in this article all the way until the last one, “What did you write?”. How does every student get an opportunity to speak?… Does every student read all of their sentences (I imagine this would take a long time and become boring) or just one sentence each (how do you ensure you get a variety of information shared instead of the same fact over and over?)? Thank you!

“Great resource and a must read. I haven’t read it cover to cover ( yet – still working on it ) but what I have has been practical and made a visible difference in my teaching for the better.”
Rating: 5/5 (extremely satisfied).
