Meet Bryan, the lead author for Nuestra historia 3 and 4 as well as a teacher who uses Voces with his students.
In my small ELL class of ten students, three began the year not knowing a word of English. Two spoke only Spanish. One of the three spoke Russian. Voces ESL 1 was essential for me for instruction and feedback. The students enjoyed the success of speaking the language quickly and feeling confident in social and classroom situations around the school. I used it to teach the alphabet, numbers and survival English. Students learned how to fill out important forms, how to pronounce the vocabulary and were reading short stories and writing answers to comprehension questions in English at the end of the semester. Thank you, Voces!
–L. P. Crane, Las Vegas, Nevada
We have used the Voces Spanish Novice for two years at Belmont Hill with our 7th grade introductory Spanish class, and the on-line materials have been great! We have never experienced any glitches with the software, and the boys really like the on-line platform for content and exercises to supplement what we do face-to-face in the classroom.
–Adam H.
I started using Voces last week and I am very impressed on every level. This is a very user-friendly program for students of all ages, and I'll definitely be using numerous of the activity exercises. This is by far the most comprehensive approach I've ever seen covered within any textbook or study guide. The country-related information, maps, interviews and photos are surely an inspirational, motivational factor for students – exactly what's needed these days for broadening perspectives toward globalization.
–J.K., The Summit Preparatory School, Springfield, Missouri
I just wanted to congratulate you for such a great program! When I first heard about Voces, I decided to check it out, and I got to admit that I was very impressed with it. Even though I accepted the 30-day trial, after only one day of working with this product I had no doubt this was the product I was looking for. I was convinced this would be a new powerful tool in my classroom and I can openly say that I wasn't wrong. I was gladly surprised when my year 9 classes responded in the most receptive manner to the engaging presentations included with the Voces eTextbook program. I have no words to express my gratitude for such an excellent package. My students are engaged and have been more focused and attentive particularly when discussing the grammar presentations. I'm totally satisfied with Voces and I still cannot believe how complete this program is! I strongly recommend it!
–M.B., Caroline Springs High School, Caroline Springs, Australia
You are MOST helpful.
Just to let you know… because of your great customer service and the awesome curriculum package that we have been experiencing this year with our first year language students, we will be continuing your product for several more years to come!

I wish I had the freedom to use it instead of a textbook.
As for the Spanish Novice courseware, I am very impressed already. Thank you for creating just the tool that many of us have really been needing.

I love the assessment 1 in chapter 16 [of Voces ESL/ELD]!

“A Teacher's Guide to Our Story” is part “how-to” manual, part personal narrative, part invitation. It puts forth overarching ideas related to teaching through the use of stories and the Our Story curriculum and addresses important details concerning the first days and weeks of school. It contains guidance on lesson planning and assessments, as well as reflections on the teaching of grammar and culture. It also includes personal anecdotes from the classroom. While the guide offers a road map for teaching language, it is also meant to encourage teachers to teach their own way and embrace their own journey. "A Teacher's Guide to Our Story" is written for teachers who aim to bring their complete selves to the classroom, by another teacher who is striving to do the same.
This guide is for World Language teachers who…
want to use stories in their classrooms
already use stories as an instructional tool in their classrooms
are curious about using Our Story by Voces Digital
already use Our Story by Voces Digital
want ideas for lesson planning, classroom management, assessments, and more
are interested in teaching with Comprehensible Input (CI)
are skeptical about teaching with CI
need concrete information that they can share with their colleagues or administrators about language teaching, Our Story, CI, lesson planning, or all of the above
feel excited by the breadth of material that's available through Voces Digital
feel overwhelmed by the material that's available through Voces Digital
are continually striving to improve their craft of teaching

About
Voces Digital provides teachers with an array of online professional development opportunities. Many of their conferences and webinars relate to the titles in the Voces Library, while others focus on the craft of teaching world languages in general. The abundance of guidance available is wonderful, but at the same time, there's so much to take in. Some common questions that arise are: What are the most important pieces of advice to follow? How do I make sure I don't miss anything? Can someone put all the information in one place?
"A Teacher's Guide to Our Story" aims to do just that. It funnels essential advice for teaching language through storytelling—specifically using Our Story—into a reference book that you can access whenever it's convenient to you. While Voces is known for its outstanding online materials, there's something to be said for a good old-fashioned paper book, which is why the guide is offered in both paper and digital formats. For teachers who want to take time away from the screen, they can flip through the pages, highlight, and write notes in the margins. But the option also exists to access the book through the Voces platform. For teachers who don't already have a subscription to Our Story, that's okay. "A Teacher's Guide to Our Story" contains tips and activities that can be used by any language teacher—not just those who subscribe to the curriculum.

Chapter 5 CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
There are many places where things can go off the rails in a World Language classroom, especially one that tilts toward Comprehensible Input. I have never had any difficulty whenever I've said, “Take out your notebooks. We are going to take notes.” In these instances, students silently and furiously copy down whatever I put on the board. I have their complete attention. But notetaking is the exception rather than the norm in a World Language classroom that emphasizes communication over grammatical perfection. In a CI classroom, students are often acting out vocabulary words, engaging in conversations with one another, creating or analyzing stories, and playing games. These spirited strategies are presented throughout the Our Story series, along with other techniques that help students acquire language naturally. Executing these activities, however, while also maintaining a sense of order can be a real challenge.
I've struggled the most with students blurting things out when they're excited and with the times they slip into English for various reasons—to chat with one another during transition periods, or because they're fatigued and using English is easier. I don't want to micromanage their interactions and behaviors in my classroom, but I also want them to treat our time together with a seriousness of purpose. Students talking out of turn detracts from the learning environment I strive to foster. Each year I ask myself how I can ensure that students buy into the world of Comprehensible Input that I hope to create with their help.
I've found the solution to dealing with classroom management issues is actually related to one of my mentor teacher's mantras. As noted in Chapter 3: Know What Drives You, Steve professed, “The simplest answer is often the most sophisticated.” In terms of classroom management, I've found that a few simple strategies work. The two tools that have been most useful to me have been posting my rules on the wall and having students fill out participation sheets. Both tactics revolve around a clever concept known as T.A.L.K.
Chapter 9 ACTIVITIES BY CATEGORY
When lesson planning, I pull from a menu of choices that mostly exists in my mind, although I do keep an actual document on my computer as well. These ideas come from everywhere: from my amazing colleagues, the internet, professional workshops, my own ideas, and, finally, trial and error. I look at the document whenever I'm feeling stuck and in need of a little inspiration. As we continue to teach, sometimes our favorite gems fall by the wayside and then we remember, “Oh yeah! I used to do that activity! Why did I stop doing that?” It's nice to have a list of effective strategies on hand that you can dust off and reinstate at any time.
I encourage you to write down your favorite activities. You can use my list as a jumping-off point and organize what you typically do into categories. I've organized my activities into categories that align with the design of Our Story. Under each heading, I've shared three activities. The three that I've chosen require little prep, can apply to any story, and can be used by people with differing teaching styles. The categories are:
Opening Routines
Building Rapport
Brain Breaks
Important Vocabulary
Personalized Questions and Answers
Story Scripts
Previewing and Reviewing Stories
Reading Activities
Listening Activities
Speaking Activities
Writing Activities
Closing Routines
While Our Story is my primary text, I like to incorporate other content into the curriculum as well. There are outside resources like books and movies that I weave into my lesson plans in order to break up the sequence of activities in Our Story. The standard structure of each chapter, which moves students through vocabulary, personalized questions, stories, and follow-up activities, makes Our Story a familiar and reliable resource; however, students enjoy a little break from the norm from time to time. To add some variation to the curriculum, you can use your own resources or even stay within Our Story. The series contains supplemental content like digital readers and multimedia programs that capture students' interest and allow them to switch gears easily. For example, the Spanish series includes a Netflix original called Go! Vive a tu manera, which my Spanish III students love to watch on Fridays. The digital nature of the curriculum means that there is no shortage of options to choose from—but be sure to also offer your students activities that take them off their screens entirely. Several suggestions for how to do that are included in this chapter. Once you've decided on the content you'll teach—whether inside of Our Story or outside of it—then you can pick and choose from a variety of activities that will help your students master the material and form connections with one another. A list of activities by category is given below.
Chapter 13 ALLYNN'S ASSESSMENTS
Our Story contains enough content that, with some creative thinking, you can use what's there to create assessments of your own. You may be thinking, “Stop right there. I don't have time to create tests!” That's probably true. As teachers, we never have enough time! If the idea of having to make one more thing for your classes is making your skin crawl, skip this chapter and review the existing options for assessments in Chapter 12. If, on the other hand, you want or need to create your own assessments, keep reading.
My recommendation is to keep your eyes on the long stories at the end of each unit. These stories pull together all the linguistic components from the short stories and provide the perfect fodder for future assessments. While you can certainly use the long stories and their accompanying activities as they are, you may find yourself inspired by the characters and plotlines and motivated to do something more with them.
The first year I subscribed to Our Story, I'd read a long story and think, “Yes! This one is primed for a dialogue” or, “Hmm, there's not much to converse about here. A project would be best.” My reason for thinking about the long stories in this way was because I was unsure about the IPAs, Our Story's most visible evaluative tool. I couldn't imagine my students making the leap to this type of assessment when I first started using the series. My students were used to the inauthentic audio clips and contrived passages that were part of our old testing manual. Thinking (incorrectly) that they would be overwhelmed by the IPAs, I searched for a Plan B. Ultimately, I decided to hide the long stories from student view and create tests based off of them, knowing that they were a cumulation of the unit's content. This strategy ended up working out well for me and my students and is still my main approach to summative assessments.
The end result has been a rotation through the different modes of communication. If I give a summative assessment that focuses on the interpretive mode, then for the next unit, I'll create something that's geared toward interpersonal communication, and so on. Sometimes I'll create an experience with the long story that touches on all three modes at once; however, I recognize that not every teacher has this same freedom to experiment -- or the time to do so. As teachers, we're often overloaded and need to use what's readily available in our textbooks, both in terms of lesson ideas and assessments.
But regardless of the situation you find yourself in, I hope that the examples in this chapter can help you with your overall approach to assessments and lesson planning. Even if you don't implement any of the ideas shared here, they might serve to inspire future activities in your classroom or encourage you to think differently about some of the content that's in Our Story. And if you're not a subscriber and are new to teaching with stories via comprehensible input, I hope that this chapter will give you insight into how you can use the three modes of communication -- interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational -- to see a fuller picture of your students' developing proficiency.
