Schoolido | Lär på ditt sätt I spent the year 2005–2006 in a rather small town in the south of Sweden, where I was placed in the third year at the local “Gymnasiet”. I must say I had one of the toughest but best years of my life. I made some great friends and grew up a lot during my year. One of the most interesting things about my year was realising the contrast between a typical Swedish school and a typical Scottish one and the differences between how teenagers live. For one thing, in Scotland you start school when you’re younger, at the age of five, but the school leaving age is about the same as in Sweden, I think. Teenagers generally don’t differ that much throughout the Western world and the Scottish teenager is no different. One difference is that in Scotland most teenagers are financially quite independent by the age of sixteen—nearly all my friends had part-time jobs. It is quite clear to me that the world is changing rather rapidlyand I am living in a time where opportunities are abundant.
Let's read together! - Billy Elliot Jag är ingen litteraturmänniska. Jag vet inte hur många gånger jag sagt dessa ord. Under lärarutbildningen valde jag i största möjliga utsträckning de kurser som fokuserade på lingvistik, snarare än litteratur. Är det för att jag inte tycker om att läsa? Inom ramen för läslyftet arbetar jag och mina kollegor just nu med modulen Samtal om text. En kollega upplyste mig om att vi hade en klassuppsättning av en enkel version av Billy Elliot. Boken är en så kallad easy reader på nivå 3. Läsning Eleverna fick, efter att jag läst på ordentligt inom ramen för Läslyftet, skriva läsloggar, där de svarar på frågorna enskilt. I koppling till detta har jag också visat korta snuttar ur filmen och från musikalen som är baserad på filmen. Skrivande Projektet är ännu inte avslutat. Muntlig presentation En ytterligare uppgift eleverna ska få är att skapa ett kort videomeddelande till mig kopplat till filmen. Så, kunde jag gjort annorlunda?
Pearson Prentice Hall: eTeach: Strategies for Improving Reading Comprehension by Patricia Babbitt Introduction Most Effective Strategies Practical Applications of Reading Strategies Summary Resources Remember the adventures that lived and breathed between the pages of a really good book when, as a young reader, you slipped away undiscovered into your own magical world? My favorite works were Charlotte's Web, Arabian Nights, Huckleberry Finn, Arthurian Legends, and, later, the timeless tragedy of William Shakespeare's Hamlet. It is no surprise that many of us who loved such adventures grew up to become today's English teachers and writers. The surprise comes when we discover how many of our own students are struggling readers. But surprise need not lead to a permanent state of frustration. Theoretically speaking, if the daily reading curriculum uses research-proven methods, students should develop skills for comprehending the text. Comprehension monitoring Post-reading: Summarizing (see below) is an effective strategy that can take many different forms. Explain why….
Språkutveckling med karaktärer och oväntade slut med hjälp av Roald Dahl - Annika Sjödahl Roald Dahl skulle ha fyllt 100 år den 13 september. Det uppmärksammas på olika håll genom att flera av hans böcker ges ut på nytt och nyligen släpptes hans bok SVJ som spelfilm. På hans officiella hemsida RoaldDahl.com finns det lektionsupplägg som du kan använda i undervisningen och du hittar även en hel del upplägg som lärare i delar på hans fan site. Jag har tidigare arbetat med några av hans böcker. Jag delar kort med mig av två upplägg. 1.Revolting Rhymes Ett av de upplägg jag arbetat med är Revolting Rhymes, som är omskrivna klassiska sagor som många av oss känner igen som barn men som har helt oväntade slut. Stödstrukturer hjälper eleverna förstå och jämföra För att kunna jämföra använde jag mig av olika stödmallar som Venn-diagram. Jag använde upplägget i en årskurs sju som behövde mycket stöd då många var nybörjare i engelska. 2.Gestaltningar med Willy Wonka Ett annat tips är att använda Kalle och chokladfabriken för att träna gestaltning och hur man bygger karaktärer.
