Mobile. 1Step One: What Follows Positive StatementsBefore giving your students the rules, give them a sheet with the following sentence pairs.
Ask groups of two to three students to see if they can figure out what the rules are for agreeing and disagreeing in English.I like dogs better than cats.So do I. Adverbs. Adverbs are more flexible than adjectives because they can be used to add extra information about more types of words - verbs, adjectives, other adverbs and clauses.
Here’s the simplest sort of form you’ll find an adverb in: In this sentence, the adverb ‘quickly’ is telling us extra information about the verb ‘ran’. How did the dinosaur run? It ran ‘quickly’. The adverb is also fairly easy to pick out because it’s right next to the verb it’s describing. Now, it’s not always this simple to pick out the adverb and also to work out what it’s telling you extra information about in a sentence. He ran well. He finished last. Relative/Adjective Clauses. A relative clause expresses descriptive or identifying information about a noun or noun phrase.

There were so many rules, but only one answer. You sit there and listen. Maybe the teacher asks you to come up and work out some problems on the board. But, honestly, if you find math boring, then you probably just copy the homework off your friend. Exams are an exercise in guesswork. And, you know what? Of course math is absolutely necessary for certain professions, and some people really love it. I teach university in Mexico. This learning method – teacher speaks, students listen, students do exercises, repeat – has been beaten into them. How ironic. While in university I zoned out in class and barely learned a thing. My Spanish teachers taught Spanish like how my math teachers taught math.
My point is, why teach a language the way math (or history, or science) is taught? You don’t learn piano or hockey by opening up a book and answering questions.

The Web sites and tools that I am considering at first pass are the following: Use case (or “how I think I want to use these tools”) Here is how I envision using this tool in my introduction to business class. We generally begin a case discussion by answering some basic questions about the company and situation, and then try to identify the roots of the basic problem. Though these are straight-forward and expected questions, they tend to set an important foundation of common understanding for the rest of the discussion. If the first student or two don’t get it, then the class can go off in the wrong direction for quite a while.Only one or two students get involved in the initial discussion and get some buy-in on the case during this initial phase because this is generally a discussion with just a small number of students.
