Bosnia: Two Schools Under One Roof
Find out about the ‘Two Schools Under One Roof’ scheme, pioneered after the end of the Bosnian War Age range:7-11 Connecting Classrooms themes:Conflict and Peace / Rights and Responsibilities Curriculum links: Geography, PSHE, Citizenship Nada, 13, and Mina, 12, go to different schools with different head teachers in Keseljac, Bosnia Herzegovina. But the two schools are in the same building. This is known as ‘Two Schools Under One Roof’. But after so many years, it's keeping them apart. Most of the Bosnian Muslim pupils here - like Nada - want the two schools to merge. Bosnian courts have ruled that separating the children is wrong because they aren't being treated equally. About 50 miles away, Lelja and Gordana go to Konjic First School. It used to be ‘two schools under one roof’, divided by a glass wall, but just after Lelja started the two halves joined up. Now there’s one head teacher and staff. Almost all the children take the Bosnian classes, like Lelja in Year 8.

There are 100+ sets of that I used to design curriculums for children ages 3-9 and 6-10. However, I use most of them up through to high school students and many with adults. See the left-hand menu for the current list of sets available. READ ME FIRST: These cards are excellent image quality and as such some of the files are quite large (1mb~4mb.) I suggest looking at the hand out first. If the material is something you'd like to put together, then take a look at the other files. About the flash card sets: There are some multilingual handouts in French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Italian, Russian, and Portuguese for teachers of other foreign languages. The pictures were all put together with children in mind. The printable flash cards and game cards do not have the vocabulary written on them. large flash cards do include articles at times. PowerPoint Flashcards and PowerPoint Presentations for teachers : These contain text in each slide. The power of bingo: I use the printable bingo cards

ESL Reading Activities - Interactive Games
Every ESL textbook will have reading comprehension lessons. Take any reading lesson and here are 4 reading activities and how to make reading more interactive, fun, and interesting for your international students. Even a reading lesson can become an interactive game. Let's get them moving and out of their seats. 1. Students get into groups of three. Writer is given a list of reading comprehension questions at the desk. Writer asks the runner the first question. Students continue to do this until all questions are answered. As a class, go over answers or any questions about the reading. 2. Separate students in half. Other half of the students are given questions and they can work together to predict what the reading will be about and what they think the answers will be. Pair students who read with the students who have the questions. This reading activity is for high-intermediate to advanced students.
