LA Youth Roar – Katy Perry – ESL lesson plan | Anna Edu The song “Roar” perfectly fits the topic of gender roles/stereotypes, feminism. Besides, it’s a great source of idioms, set expressions and phrasal verbs. That’s how I would use it in class. 1. Tell the students that we’re going to study 7 new expressions (slides 2-4). Having introduced them, I’d ask some questions to use them in speech. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. in ESL lesson plans by Anna Virtuella utflykter Med stöd av läroplanen kan vi idag göra virtuella utflykter. Läroplanen förespråkar till och med att vi använder digital teknik för att förstå och göra oss förstådda och som hjälpmedel i lärandet. Källkritiken och att kunna googla är viktiga ingredienser samtidigt som vi ska jobba med kulturer och att jämföra upplevelser med egna landet med hur det är i andra länder. Här kommer jag tipsa om diverse olika sidor för att arbeta med virutella utflykter. En virtuell utflykt eller field trip är något som väcker nyfikenhet och engagemang och är helt papperslösa. Dessutom sparar de tid, eftersom de redan finns där och man slipper planeringen med att planera själva utflykten. En sida som listar platser att besöka i alfabetisk ordning är denna. Om du vill kika in på världens sju underverk finns denna danska sida. Så här kan det t ex se ut på Skansen vid midsommar i Sverige. Här finns flera hundratals panoramabilder. Google har många sidor, bl a World Wonders, Google Earth , Google Moon , Google Map.

Jamie Oliver Hamburger Chef Jamie Oliver Proves McDonald’s Burgers “Unfit for Human Consumption” Hamburger chef Jamie Oliver has won his long-fought battle against one of the largest fast food chains in the world – McDonalds. After Oliver showed how McDonald’s hamburgers are made, the franchise finally announced that it will change its recipe, and yet there was barely a peep about this in the mainstream, corporate media. Oliver repeatedly explained to the public, over several years – in documentaries, television shows and interviews – that the fatty parts of beef are “washed” in ammonium hydroxide and used in the filling of the burger. Before this process, according to the presenter, the food is deemed unfit for human consumption. Besides the low quality of the meat, the ammonium hydroxide is harmful to health. “Why would any sensible human being put meat filled with ammonia in the mouths of their children?” In one of his colorful demonstrations, Oliver demonstrates to children how nuggets are made.

IfItWereMyHome.com Canada A land of vast distances and rich natural resources, Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. Canada faces the political challenges of meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services, as well as responding to the particular concerns of predominantly francophone Quebec. Canada also aims to develop its diverse energy resources while maintaining its commitment to the environment. The land now occupied by Canada was first inhabited approximately 16,000 years ago by aboriginal peoples. The beginning of the 20th century saw Canada's early involvement in World War I due to British control of its foreign affairs. Today, Canada is characterized by its socially democratic programs such as universal health care, the Canda Pension Plan, and Canada Student Loans.
