INTRODUCTION - Themework
”The Hotel Mystery” I årskurs 5 läser vi just nu ”The Hotel Mystery”, eller ”Hotellmysteriet” av Martin Widmark. Vi analyserar innehåll, berättarteknik och upplägg. Och skriver sedan egna hotellmysterier i åtta kapitel. Så fokus ligger på att kunna skriva egna texter på engelska. Jag har läst ”The Hotel Mystery” flera gånger och kan berättelsen. LEKTION 1 Jag visar boken för eleverna och frågar o någon känner till Lasse Majas Detektivbyrå. LEKTION 2 Nu berättar jag att jag har ”snott” Widmarks upplägg och skrivit ett eget hotellmysterium som heter ”The Ellington Hotel Mystery” (klicka på länken för att läsa kapitel 1-3). LEKTION 3 Med hjälp av Widmarks och min egen storyboard gör eleverna nu egna storyboards. LEKTION 4 Nu är det dags att skriva första kapitlet. LEKTION 5 Vi jobbar vidare med Chapter 1 så att alla har kommit igång och förstått vad som ska finnas med i första kapitlet och hur det ska skrivas. FORTSÄTTNING FÖLJER… Vi kommer att skriva klart alla åtta kapitel innan jul.
Lesson plan: How to teach your students about fake news | Lesson Plan | PBS NewsHour Extra
Fake news is making news, and it’s a problem. Not only did a BuzzFeed data analysis find that viral stories falsely claiming that the Pope endorsed Donald Trump and that Hillary Clinton sold weapons to terrorists receive more Facebook attention than the most popular news stories from established news outlets, but a false story about child trafficking in a Washington, D.C. pizza restaurant inspired a North Carolina man to drive 5 hours with a shotgun and other weapons to investigate. This lesson gives students media literacy skills they need to navigate the media, including how to spot fake news. Subjects Social studies, U.S. government, civics, journalism Estimated Time One 50-minute class Grade Level Introduction A recent study by Stanford University found an overwhelming majority of students were not able to tell the difference between so-called fake news and real news. Procedure Essential question What media literacy skills do students need to evaluate the reliability of a news source?
Looking forward to meeting you
July 31, 2014 Dear Harvard College Class of 2018, Congratulations on your admission to Harvard, and thank you for choosing to become a member of this incredible, multi-generational community of learning. I am delighted that you, as members of the Class of 2018, and I, as the new Dean of the College, will have the opportunity to begin this new chapter of our lives together. While I have been at Harvard for a number of years, I officially took over as dean on July 1. As I imagine you will be when you arrive on campus in a few weeks, I have felt elated, anxious, excited and awed by my new role and responsibilities. As you begin to think about the courses you plan to take this fall and the extracurricular activities you want to pursue here on campus, I hope you will consider that there is no one way to do Harvard, and there is no ideal Harvard student that you should try to be or against whose image you will be measured here. You have much to look forward to in the coming year.
British Slang You Think You Know – But You’re Probably Wrong! | Language Trai...
You’ll hear it on television, in films and maybe even in person if you find yourself travelling, but the slang you’ll hear in Britain is unlike any you’ll hear in any other English speaking country. British slang can be some of the hardest English to understand and to master – check out our unique list of things that sound like one thing, but mean something very different! 1. Gormless What you might think it means: A shirt that doesn’t have any arm holes or a person with no shape. What it actually means: Completely and utterly clueless; having no idea what’s going on. How to use it: “The new guy is completely gormless – he tried to send a fax with the photocopier!” 2.Collywobbles What you might think it means: When your dog stumbles trying to catch a ball. What it actually means: A feeling of nausea or stomach pain caused by stress or anxiety. How to use it: “This pop quiz has given me the collywobbles!” 3. What you might think it means: A way of saying no when your mouth is full. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Hur textsamtalet kan utveckla läsförståelsen
I det här inlägget tänkte jag skriva om en metod som utvecklar läsförståelsen och utgår från samtalet. Upplägget går helt sonika ut på att organisera en bokcirkel och jag tänkte dela med mig av hur jag gör så du kan testa själv om du inte redan gjort det. Först tänkte jag ge en anledning till varför att jag tycker att man ska föra ett samtal kring det man läst gemensamt i klassen. Vi vet att elever som lämnas själva i sin läsning inte utvecklar en djupare läsförståelse men genom samtalet kan man stötta de som behöver mer hjälp genom att eleverna lär av varandra. I kunskapsöversikten Att läsa och förstå skriver Barbro Westlund att ”väl organiserade och strukturerade textsamtal ger eleverna betydligt större möjligheter till skolframgång än om sådana samtal inte förs.” (sid 71). En metod för samtalet är att planera för en bokcirkel till där man delar in klassen i olika roller för att de ska arbeta med boken under läsandet.

The Wright Family Icebreaker Game – Candy Required – The Canswedian English Teacher
There are so many homophones and homonyms in the English language am I right (adj/adv/)? write? rite? wright? To illustrate this point, and to get people chuckling at the beginning of the year – I usually do the “The Wright Family.” How does it work? You can do it several times. At the end, everyone should only have one item in their hand. After the activity – you can talk about the different “right” and “left” meanings, and go over how many different homophones/homonyms there are in the English language. One day the Wright family decided to take a vacation.
