The summer photo issue!Photos, photos, photos galore! Have we got photos for you! There’s so much going on this summer, we just had to fill up this issue with tons of great photos to show it all.
While our summer has been slightly lacking in sun, it hasn’t been lacking in fun at INTO OSU. The Access program went off without a hitch, the Crater Lake Trip was amazingly gorgeous as always, and our instructors enjoyed some good-natured fun making puppets of each other. As always, you can take a look at more photos on Flickr HERE!

Puppets on Parade at INTO OSU!That’s right, we said PUPPETS! Why puppets? Puppets are useful in the classroom for a variety of things: basic word stress, intonation, natural speech patterns, adding emotion/expression to speaking, etc. Plus they are fun! The idea was sparked at the TESOL conference in New Orleans in March and blossomed into a new idea…why not make a fun team-building project for our professional enrichment day—to make a puppet in the spirit of a colleague? The instructors had one term to make their puppet creations of each other, and here’s what they came up with!
Michelle Scholz with her Margot Volem puppet creation
