E.gg Timer - a simple countdown timer Fokuserede øvelser til at træne ordforråd | 111 variation Det er egentlig let nok at finde på gloseøvelser, men når det skal gøres systematisk og i kontekst, kan det godt knibe lidt mere med opfindsomheden, synes jeg.

Bed eleverne finde på ord de forbinder med et bestemt tema eller en titel på en tekst. Lav en vild brainstorm sammen på klassen, og bed herefter eleverne i grupper sortere ordene i semantiske felter.

PechaFlickr: Få mundtøjet i gang | 111 variation TeflGeek postede for nylig dette indlæg på sin blog om det lille program PechaFlickr, som han gav et par solide ideer til brugen af. Du kender sikkert konceptet Pecha Kucha hvor man laver en præsentation bestående af tyve billeder/stikord og så taler ud fra disse 20 slides i 20 sekunder om hvert slide. PechaFlickr følger konceptet, men her vælger Flickr 20 tilfældige billeder ud for dig ud fra et tema som du selv bestemmer. Og så afspilles billederne ellers i den hastighed du ønsker (som standard er billederne sat til at vise i 20 sekunder ad gangen, men under ’advanced options’ har du mulighed for at tilpasse både hvor mange billeder der skal vises, og hvor længe de skal vises. Dette er jo – som TeflGeek også påpeger – et rigtig godt værktøj til at træne mundtlighed. Giv eleverne et tema på PechaFlickr, og sæt dem i par eller grupper af tre.

The Verge English 50 Exercises for Story Writers English 50 – Intro to Creative Writing: Exercises for Story Writers Basic Theory: What is a short story? As soon as someone delivers a definition, some good writer will write a story that proves the theory wrong. About the only thing we can say for sure is that short stories are short and that they are written in what we call prose. Some attributes, however, seem to show up more often than not. Short stories have a narrator; that is, someone tells the story; have at least one character in them; have some action occur (or perhaps fails to occur); take place somewhere; that is, there is a setting for the action; and someone either learns something or fails to learn something (theme).With these five characteristics in mind, we can create an almost endless supply of exercises to help sharpen our techniques of story telling. Narrative Voice Twenty or so years ago, voice was the "rite of passage" into a successful writing career. If you've written a story in third person, try it in first.
