Week 23: Proverb and Vocabulary Review

Review Padlet. I'm trying a new review tool for this second phase of the proverbs; it's a Proverb Padlet that contains the contents of the week's posts... and it displays at random each time you load the Padlet! That way you can use it as a randomizing-reviewer for the week. There will be a new Padlet like this each week. Here's a screenshot of this week's Padlet: Greek Proverbs Week 23.


I've also put it on my phone so I can pop up a proverb at random whenever. There's a free Padlet app you can download if you want, but you don't need the app; you can just save the URL to your phone home screen (that's what I did). As you can see, it renders very nicely on a phone:


I hope you will enjoy this review option. Random is the key to reviewing, and this "random" display feature is new-ish at Padlet. I think it is a great addition to their product! (And for any of you out there who are teachers, Padlet is really about the only ed tech product that I honestly like; admittedly, like everybody else in ed tech they are pursuing some ridiculous AI pipedreams, but their core product is just as good as it ever was, so I ignore the AI hype and just keep on using the same old Padlet boards that I've used for what must be 10 years now or more.)

Audio. I've now added audio to all the posts for the past week; see the playlist below, and the audio is also embedded in each post: #71 - #72 - #73 - #74 - #75. Below is a playlist with all the audio, but that playlist won't appear in the email; to access the playlist from the email, use this link: Proverbs Audio.


Alphabetical Index. Finally, here is the list of all of this week's proverbs, alphabetized and linked back to the blog post so that you can access the English translation and commentary as needed. I've also updated the complete list of proverbs (375 total so far!).
