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. 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. It really doesn’t seem like it was that long since I first set eyes on this magnificent wooden galleon pulled up alongside the cobbled quay of Seville’s refurbished cruise port. At the time, the queue to visit was long and my children were small, so we contended ourselves with admiring it from a distance. Since then, the ship has been to the Middle East, Sri Lanka, the Phillippines, Shanghai, and back to Spain’s northern Atlantic coast. Halloween+2. Siles Bilingüe: general english.

Encuentran una túnica previkinga en Noruega Miércoles, 27 de marzo de 2013 Noruega no deja de ser un lugar perfecto en el que los arqueólogos encuentran elementos que les ayudan a entender de forma mucho mejor todo lo que sucedió en un pasado que ahora se nos antoja demasiado lejano.

Y en ese sentido nos encontramos con la noticia que hoy te traemos y que tiene como protagonista a una túnica previkinga que acaba de ser encontrada en Noruega. Esta túnica proviene del siglo III y se ha encontrado justo al lado de un glaciar en deshielo a dos mil metros sobre el nivel del mar situado en el sur del país nórdico. Esta túnica esta creada en exclusiva en lana. Según la localización en la que se han encontrado esta túnica, los expertos aseguran que es posible que esta zona se tratase de una importante ruta comercial en el sur de Noruega creada en la época romana.

Julie’s story: ELT Freelancing in France for over 30 years This past week I met Julie Cummings-Debrot, a freelancer with her own company here in Paris – for a cup of coffee and a chat about teaching in France, corporate training and how she’s incorporating blended learning into her courses.

We met at La Défense, the swanky financial district of Paris just after one of her lessons. We had a nice lil’ chat and afterwards I rode my lil’ folding bike back home to write up some notes to share Julie’s rich experience with us all here!

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

I walked into the copy room and this was sitting on a table with the words: “This is a must READ :)”. I agree, and I think it is also a “Must SHARE!” You get a secret thrill out of laminating things.You can hear 25 voices behind you and know exactly which one belongs to the child out of line.You walk into a store and hear the words, “It’s Ms.

Recently, I could not find my prescription glasses, and wore my $1.00 glasses to work. My students commented on the fact that I had new glasses, and I told them these were my “cheap” glasses because I couldn’t find my good glasses. Three days later, I was searching for my glasses, and one of the students said, “Are you looking for the green ones?” And another one of my students responded, “No, she’s looking for the cheap ones!” I had to laugh. A “FLOUR” FOR YOU! During teacher appreciation week our room mothers send out a letter so that one day we receive nice cards from our students the next day, chocolates…etc.

The other day, we were reading a selection about snails. I used the word yearning in a sentence. One of my students recently had surgery to have his tonsils removed. The other day was a rough day all around. Like this: Like Loading... Bilingüismo. La obra en inglés Paper on a Bench fue representada en la Casa de la Cultura el día 16 de mayo, dentro del programa “Muestra de teatro de Centros Docentes y Aficionados”, por alumnos de nuestro centro de edades comprendidas entre 13 y 16 años. El título de la obra traducido literalmente al castellano es: “Periódico en un banco”. Me gustaría empezar por el final, comenzar resaltando el mensaje de la obra para poder así desmenuzarla en todo su contenido. Partiendo con dicho proceso deductivo, me gustaría referirme a la moraleja que esconde la imagen del periódico acerca de la visión humana del mundo: la representación pretendía expresar que cada uno de nosotros tiende a construir una vida ensimismada, cada persona se aísla en sus propios problemas, olvidando continuamente la necesidad del prójimo; para cada sujeto, el periódico era un símbolo diferente, con un contenido diferente.

En la obra, se vio reflejado un duro trabajo de preparación y un gran entusiasmo hacia el arte del teatro. Take+a+picture. Profundiza » Programa de Profundización de Conocimientos.

In the unlikely case of being stranded on a deserted island...! 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. Also, he would be able to provide fires and warmth. (I’m not calling him fat; I am merely saying he could skin animals.) I would take my mother, not only because she can cook with almost anything, but because she is not flimsy either. Those are the things/people I would bring. Presentations.
