OUR BILINGUAL BLOG. Studies Show More Students Cheat, Even High Achievers. From Management to Engagement. As educators, we are always looking for management strategies to try in the classroom.

From Management to Engagement

Note I said "strategies" -- not "solutions. " Many Edutopia bloggers have written about strategies and ideas for classroom management. I've also written a blog on PBL management strategies, but many of those same strategies can be used in non-PBL contexts. When picking strategies, we have to know that because they are strategies, some may not work. But we can still build our toolkit so that we have something to try in any context. However, there is a larger, more important issue to consider before venturing into management strategies to solve a problem in the classroom: engagement!

It is crucial to focus on engagement rather than management. Here, Pink is talking about the three things that are needed for engagement, but they still hold true when we think about our classrooms and what we are asking of our students.

January 26, 2012 – 4:46 pm When I saw in the newspaper last week that a replica 17th-century galleon had arrived in the port of Sevilla, I realised it must be the same one I had seen some time previously, just before it left on a 6,000km voyage.

Galeon de Andalucia docked in Sevilla, February 2010. The ship's original name plaque. Looking back through my posts, it took me a while to find the one about the Galeon de Andalucia. Partly because I wasn’t looking far enough back – I couldn’t believe that it was two whole years ago. Since then, the ship has been to the Middle East, Sri Lanka, the Phillippines, Shanghai, and back to Spain’s northern Atlantic coast. This time, we went aboard and explored the cabins, the Sala del Almirante and the below decks sections too. Halloween+2. Siles Bilingüe: general english.

April 23rd was declared International Book Day by UNESCO in 1995, but it has been celebrated as such in Spain since 1923.

International Book Day and St. George's Day

The reason why this day was chosen to represent the book is that two of the greatest writers in the world, Cervantes and Shakespeare, died on 23rd April 1616, and in the case of Shakespeare, he was also born on that day in 1564. Isn't it a coincidence? April 23rd is also St. George's Day, as this soldier saint was martyred on this day. Since the 14th century, St. St. Sant Jordi's day is really profitable for publishing companies, but you don't need to buy books, you can borrow them in the public libraries and, thanks to the initiative of a group of people from the web you can also find them in the streets. April 23rd is the Day of the Book, but that doesn't mean that we should forget about them the rest of the year: by reading a book you can live other lives, feel what other people feel, travel all over the world.

Creative Writing

By Amira McQueen, 1º ESO B If I were stranded on a deserted island for a month, and could only bring two things with me, they would have to be my parents. And technically no, this is not really cheating, but I suppose if this is insufficient, then I could understand. I would take my father mostly because he is an ex-infantry soldier, therefore he could come very useful during the month. He could easily hunt animals and make weapons out of almost anything.
