Digitala verktyg främjar undervisningen i engelska Elevernas brist på motivation blev en drivkraft Sofia Arvidsson jobbar sedan sju år tillbaka som lärare i engelska och idrott på Smedingeskolan utanför Kungsbacka. Smedingeskolan är en pilotskola i kommunen med en satsning på bärbara datorer till varje elev i årskurs 7-9. Sofia Arvidsson märkte tidigt i sin lärargärning att textböckerna i engelska inte gav tillräckligt för att eleverna skulle kunna nå upp till alla mål i kursplanen. När eleverna inte blir motiverade eller engagerade är det svårt att nå målen, och Sofia Arvidsson strävade därför att få en mer varierad undervisning. Digitala lärresurser främjar undervisningen i engelska Utgångspunkten för Sofia Arvidssons undervisning i engelska är kursplanen i kombination med en LPP (lokal pedagogisk planering), där undervisningens mål och centrala innehåll tydligt framgår. Eleverna får ofta använda digitala publiceringsverktyg när de ska redovisa ett arbete eller hålla ett föredrag. Hörförståelse underlättas med digitala verktyg
Att skriva en argumenterande text på engelska En argumenterande text går ut på att du ska övertyga dina läsare om att din åsikt är den rätta eller att du ska försöka få dina läsare att handla på ett visst sätt. Jag har valt att göra denna genomgång på svenska då flera av er uttryckt att ni (engelska år 8) tycker det blir alldeles för svårt annars. I förväg vill jag att ni har läst igenom detta inlägg och sett filmen. Lektionstid kommer vi arbeta med detta på engelska. Jag kommer att hjälpa er med ord och med exempel på hur det blir på engelska. Vi kommer först att skriva tillsammans i klassen och sedan när ni kan det skriver ni enskilt. Det finns en del som man måste tänka på för att texten ska bli bra: 1. 3. Exempel på fler bindeord hittar du här: Bindeord Du behöver också ha med ord som uttrycker dina egna och andras åsikter och känslor tex: I wish - jag önskar I feel - jag känner I dream of- jag drömmer om I hate - jag hatar I dislike - jag ogillar - Är rubriken intresseväckande? / Sara

Common Writing Mistakes - English Writing - Learn English Free This article features "dictionary look up". Just double click on any word to get an instant definition (uses a pop-up). Common Writing Mistakes by Michael LaRocca Most books aren't rejected because the stories are "bad." I don't mean places where we, as authors, deliberately break the rules. I've been editing novels for over three years. Once you've found a publisher who publishes what you write, you want to present yourself in the best way possible. The publisher is investing a lot in every book it accepts. The first thing you need to do, and I hope you've already done it, is use the spelling and grammar checkers in your word processor. Here's a list of the mistakes I see most often. * Dialogue where everyone speaks in perfect English and never violates any of the bullet points below. * It's is a contraction for "it is" and its is possessive. * Who's is a contraction for "who is" and whose is possessive. * You're is a contraction for "you are" and your is possessive. * You wear clothes.
20 Strategies for Motivating Reluctant Learners | MindShift | KQED News Kathy Perez has decades of experience as a classroom educator, with training in special education and teaching English language learners. She also has a dynamic style. Sitting through her workshop presentation was like being a student in her classroom. She presents on how to make the classroom engaging and motivating to all students, even the most reluctant learners, while modeling for her audience exactly how she would do it. Perez says when students are engaged, predicting answers, talking with one another and sharing with the class in ways that follow safe routines and practices, they not only achieve more but they also act out less. “If we don’t have their attention, what’s the point?” She’s a big proponent of brain breaks and getting kids moving around frequently during the day. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

No Limit – ett försök att tänka utanför skolan | Hanna Fjeld I Borås har vi förärats med en fantastisk Street Art-festival, No Limit. Nationella och internationella konstnärer har smyckat gator och torg med grymma målningar och några mindre skulpturer. Det föll sig så väl att vi i år 7 läste en text om grafitti i vår Textbook Happy just denna vecka då No Limit hade vernissage. En ren slump faktiskt, men så här i efterhand en vällyckad slump. Jag la en lektion på att ta med mig mina två 7:or ner till stan för en kortare rundvandring där vi hann se 6-7 konstverk. Lite information hade jag fått från vår bildlärare så jag kunder berätta lite grann om varje konstverk för eleverna. Eftersom det då var något oklart huruvida konstverken skulle få finns kvar i framtiden eller målas över så kreerade jag en skrivuppgift för eleverna utifrån detta aktuella dilemma. Som hjälp fick de några stödstrukturer: Vi hjälptes också åt att samla argument för och emot konstverken i en tabell som alla sedan hade tillgång till. /Hanna
Why Executive Function Is A Vital Stepping-Stone For Kids’ Ability to Learn |... Neuroscientists and educational psychologists are constantly learning more about how children learn and the various influences beyond IQ that affect cognition. Some research, like Carol Dweck’s on growth mindset or Angela Duckworth’s on grit, quickly became catch phrases among educators. At the same time, critics have pushed back against the notion that students underperform only because of cognitive deficits, pointing to an equally pressing need for big changes to teaching practice. Bruce Wexler has been studying executive functioning — a group of cognitive abilities crucial for managing oneself and information — for the past 20 years. “The data just keeps coming in about the importance of focus, self-control and working memory for learning and life,” Wexler said in an edWeb webinar. Many kinds of interventions can work to improve executive functioning, another reason researchers feel confident that this cognitive ability is not innate, but rather taught.
