I only ask the students to count the reps on the first day when we create the story and complete other activities. I'm hoping that in the next 2 days after the story, I will have hit 80 reps. Using the reps was a real eye opener for me.Señora Hitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909827381087226676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898729898073581154.post-28820900249330005862016-02-08T18:49:57.360-05:002016-02-08T18:49:57.360-05:00I started using tally counters in the first quarte...I started using tally counters in the first quarter this year, but I became discouraged because I had read somewhere that it is ideal to shoot for some 80 repetitions per structure. I barely reached 40 per structure on a good day. I stopped being consistent with them, but I want to try it again with a new personal expectation. My goal is 80 reps for the 3-4 days that I spend on the story, including the PQA and follow-up reading. That seems more doable to me. I really do feel that it will be a valuable tool for consistency.
