I also have a Free Draw Challenge. It’s a list of challenges for them to do if they have extra time and want to “free draw.” In the past, I let them draw whatever on their free draw paper and sometimes I would get nice drawings but most of the time I would see tic tac toe or them writing their name or a bunch of scribbles. This gives them a choice while still keeping them focused on a complete picture. This is a new page of challenges for Fall/Halloween. And this last picture is not a new thing but I laminated it and hung it in a different spot.

When you were small: Where did you tend to listen to stories? What time of day was it, typically? Now you are older: Have you read or told stories as a parent? The point of these questions and the answers you have given them in your mind is for you to realise how you yourself relate to stories. I was teaching a micro-group of three or four business men. For a couple of weeks I heeded his words and then decided that the best possible way to teach the past tense was the story of Little Red Riding Hood.

But teaching writing is not just about grammar, spelling, or the mechanics of the Roman alphabet. Learners also need to be aware of and use the conventions of the genre in the new language. What is genre? Stages of a writing lesson Generating ideas Focusing ideas Focus on a model text Organising ideas Writing Peer evaluation Reviewing Conclusion What is genre? A genre can be anything from a menu to a wedding invitation, from a newspaper article to an estate agent's description of a house.

Pieces of writing of the same genre share some features, in terms of layout, level of formality, and language. These features are more fixed in formal genre, for example letters of complaint and essays, than in more 'creative' writing, such as poems or descriptions.

They feel safe because they know what to expect each day. They like consistency in a world that can be very inconsistent.” The most important principle you should establish at the start of school is consistency. Students do not welcome surprises or embrace disorganization, especially those who come from a disorganized home life.

A Teacher’s First Priority When class begins, getting students to work should take precedence. To do this, post a daily agenda that’s visible to everyone. Students become responsible for starting the class or period when an agenda is posted. Students thrive in organized environments with routines and consistency.

What's wrong with using a coursebook? A topic-based syllabus Structuring the course Needs analysis Set short-term objectives Remedial grammar Error correction Variety Conclusion What's wrong with using a coursebook? Well, in many cases, nothing! With the constant updating of text books to include new and relevant topics, ideas and methodology, teachers have a great set of resources at their fingertips. Students however may not see it that way. Perhaps they have had past experiences with a "bad" textbook, in other words, following a book which is not well chosen in terms of their age, interests and needs.

A topic-based syllabus What might sound like fun for the students can seem a bit daunting for the teacher. Using a topic-based syllabus as a framework, however, provides a natural stimulus for language learning in a realistic context. Structuring the course What might at first sight seem like quite an unstructured course can in fact be deceptively well organised. Variety. Phonemic chart. Vocabulary activities. Grammar reference.
