Safer Internet day 9/2 - lektionsförslag På tisdag den 9 februari är det Safer Internet Day. Denna dag uppmärksammas på många olika ställen över hela världen. Temat för i år är ”Play your part for a better internet”. I Sverige har Statens Mediaråd valt att fokusera på att stötta och hjälpa föräldrar att lära sig mer om hur vi kan hantera frågor som uppkommer när våra barn och ungdomar befinner sig på Internet. Via sidan Nohate.se kan både föräldrar och lärare få tips och råd kring hur man kan tänka och vad man behöver göra för att stötta barnen/ungdomarna i deras digitala vardag. Om du vill uppmärksamma Safer Internet Day i din undervisning har British Council tagit fram ett, i mitt tycke, bra och användbart material. Som en introduktion till din lektion kan du använda nedanstående film från UK Safer Internet Center: Om du och dina elever vill stötta Safer Internet Day kan ni delta via Twitter eller Facebook i en så kallad Thunderclap. I play my part for a better internet by supporting Safer Internet Day! Sara
5 of My Favorite English Games for ESL Students I saved the best for last. My students requested this game more often than any other game we ever played. It's based on the old drinking game "Ring of Fire," modified for the classroom. Materials needed:A standard deck of playing cards, a whiteboard, 20-30 small slips of blank paper, and a bowl. The setup:Almost none! The activity:Before you start the game, hand every student two small slips of paper. The students will take turns pulling a card. Here are the actions I assign to cards and the penalties involved: K: Ask anyone. Q: Ask a girl. J: Ask a boy. 10: Ask your teacher! 9: Bunny ears! 8: Words. 7: Pick again. 6: Touch your nose! 5: Answer one question. 4: Ask the person on your left. 3: Ask the person on your right. 2: Answer two questions. A: Free card. Note: This is just an example of a setup I use for intermediate university level classes.

These sayings are called "proverbs". How can you use proverbs to learn English? It's good to know the really common English proverbs because you hear them come up in conversation all the time. You know what they say: when the going gets tough... (Read #5 below to learn the rest of this proverb and what it means.)

Proverbs can also give you good example sentences which you can memorize and use as models for building your own sentences. The most important English Proverbs This is a list of some of the most important and well-known English proverbs. The meanings of some of these phrases have shifted over the years, so a proverb might have originally had a different meaning than the one I explain. Print this List
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.

The Winepress by Josef Essberger | English Club A short story by Josef Essberger "You don't have to be French to enjoy a decent red wine," Charles Jousselin de Gruse used to tell his foreign guests whenever he entertained them in Paris. "But you do have to be French to recognize one," he would add with a laugh. After a lifetime in the French diplomatic corps, the Count de Gruse lived with his wife in an elegant townhouse on Quai Voltaire. He was a likeable man, cultivated of course, with a well-deserved reputation as a generous host and an amusing raconteur. This evening's guests were all European and all equally convinced that immigration was at the root of Europe's problems. The first of the red Bordeaux was being served with the veal, and one of the guests turned to de Gruse. "Come on, Charles, it's simple arithmetic. "Yes, General. Without another word, de Gruse picked up his glass and introduced his bulbous, winey nose. "A truly full-bodied Bordeaux," he said warmly, "a wine among wines." "Really?" "But how? "Well?"

Flippad undervisning Flippat klassrum. Vad i hela friden är det för något? Den tydligaste förklaringen för det oinvigde tycker jag att Karin Brånebäck har gjort med sin ”gula bild”. I korthet går det ut på att eleven ska vara förberedd i ”huvudet” så att eleven kan börja arbeta direkt när lektionen startar. Den tid som du använder till att ha genomgångar kan nu läggas på att vara hos de elever som behöver dig mest. Det finns många varianter av flippat klassrum och du får känna dig fram kring vad som passar just dig och dina grupper. Många lärare ger en kort Youtubefilm i läxa och har kopplat frågor till filmen där eleven får direkt feedback. Personligen flippar jag inte allt utan jag flippar det jag tycker att den gruppen behöver just då. En sida som fungerar bra till att använda för flippat klassrum och för att individualisera grammatikundervisningen är Grammarflip.com. Du skapar ett lärarkonto där du dessutom skapar ett ”klassrum” . Jag kan verkligen rekommendera er att prova dessa sidor. Lycka till! Sara
Aha det är så jag ska utveckla min text! Nu förstår jag precis hur jag ska skriva... Aha det är så jag ska utveckla min text! Nu förstår jag precis hur jag ska skriva… Citatet ovan kommer från en elev i årskurs nio. Ni kanske vill veta hur vi arbetade för att eleven skulle utbrista i eufori vad hen kom på. Jag tänkte dela upplägget med er och det är väldigt enkelt. Det utgår nämligen från de gamla nationella proven som återfinns på Skolverkets hemsida. Upplägget i sig är inte revolutionerande men för just denna elev var det det. I /…/ skriftliga framställningar i olika genrer kan eleven formlera sig enkelt, begripligt och relativt sammanhängande. Hur konkretiserar man aspekterna? Jag valde att lägga upp det på ett lite bakvänt sätt för mig då jag brukar börja med att visa på exempeltexter. Gå igenom instruktionen Till att börja med visade jag instruktionen för uppsatsdelen. Eget skrivande Eleverna fick sedan skriva brevet under resten av lektionen och fortsätta under nästa lektion för att hamna på den tid som eleverna får på själva skrivdagen på de nationella proven.

Matilda - Roald Dahl Nobody has seen Willy Wonka - or inside his amazing chocolate factory - for years. When he announces plans to invite the winners of five Golden Tickets hidden inside the wrappers of chocolate bars to visit his factory, the whole world is after those tickets! Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is perhaps Roald Dahl’s best-known story. The story of Charlie Bucket, the five Golden Tickets, the Oompa-Loompas and the amazing Mr Willy Wonka has become firmly embedded in our culture since it was first published in 1964. Conservative estimates suggest the original book has sold over 20 million copies worldwide; it is now available in 55 languages. Roald Dahl began working on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in 1961 shortly after finishing James and the Giant Peach, but its origins can be traced all the way back to Roald's own childhood. Roald wrote the screenplay for the film release of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, starring Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka.
