We consider the dynamics generated by the Schrodinger operator H = -1/2 Del
ta + V(x) + W (epsilonx), where V is a lattice periodic potential and W an
external potential which varies slowly on the scale set by the lattice spac
ing. We prove that in the limit epsilon --> 0 the time dependent position o
perator and, more generally, semiclassical observables converge strongly to
a limit which is determined by the semiclassical dynamics.
