Here are all the ways I’ve been collecting: **N.B. Many interactive ways to get texts require you to write something down during the school day, else you might forget details! If you can’t create the text during a planning period within an hour or two of the events, jot down notes right after class (as the next group of students line up for the Class Password?), or consider integrating a student job.** No-Prep Writing Summary & Write  ( me ) Students have 10 minutes to write an English summary of what was read the day before, then *in the target language* continue, or write a new ending. Select 1 or 2 of these, type/edit, then read later.  Where’s the input?!  Have students re-read (or actually read for the first time what they should’ve...
