Starfall: Learn to Read with Phonics, Learn Mathematics BATTLESHIP: IRREGULAR VERBS Much to learn, you still have. – Joda. Despite the evidence that the number of irregular verbs is declining in the English language, there is no danger they will disappear, and the struggle will continue. There are many attempts to find a shortcut in learning irregular verbs, yet with all the options and “magic tricks” available, learning these verbs requires much memorization, drilling and practice. Today I will show how I use the Battleship game to drill and practise irregular verbs in a fun way. Before the game: Each player will need two 10×10 grids – one with irregular verbs in each square, and one blank grid. Click the Grids to download them. The players then mark where they want to place their ships by circling rows, horizontally or vertically. Each player’s fleet consists of the following ships: 1 aircraft carrier – 5 squares 1 battleship – 4 squares 1 cruiser – 3 squares 2 destroyers – 2 squares each 2 submarines – 1 square each How to play: some more games with irregular verbs from Engames.

ICDL - International Children's Digital Library Diversity in the Classroom - An Article by Michael Soon Lee, MBA, CSP Teachers must be aware of the fact that there are different learning styles among students in the classroom. However, we may believe that most people are comfortable with the primary mode of communicating in America that is primarily verbal. This could be a fatal mistake, especially when speaking to groups composed of a significant number of people from diverse cultures. First, let’s examine the four basic learning styles. In the United State, most keynote speeches and seminars are presented primarily aurally which is probably why we are known as professional “speakers”. However, only 30% of all audiences favor the auditory learning style. Studies show that 30% of people prefer learning kinesthetically where hands-on experience helps make the learning stick. What does culture have to do with learning style? A question that many speakers often ask is whether keynoters can present in a multimodal format without detracting from their presentations.

Team-building diversity games also can help participants appreciate the advantages that result when people with a variety of skill sets and personalities work together to get something done.
