St. Patrick's Day - Mia Smith Som språklärare utgår jag gärna från högtider i olika engelskspråkiga länder. Eleverna stöter ofta på dessa i filmer och tv-serier, och att ge dem ordentlig förförståelse är ett bra sätt att koppla ihop skolengelskan med fritidsengelskan, eller den extramurala engelskan som den också kallas. Ett av mina favoritländer är Irland, och då är St. Patrick’s Day en tacksam utgångspunkt. Som introduktion har jag skapat en presentation i prezi kring ämnet, lagom till St. I presentationen har jag lagt in två korta filmklipp. Som en enkel avslutning har jag lånat en färdig Kahoot.

Shakespeare our way - elevernas tolkningar - Mia Smith Som jag redan beskrivit har mina elever i år 8 och 9 fått lära känna Shakespeare i allmänhet och Romeo & Julia i synnerhet inom ramen för engelskundervisningen, upplägget har jag beskrivit i följande blogginlägg: och Mycket av upplägget är klassiska uppgifter, men den avslutande utmaningen är den som utmärker projektet, och den där eleverna fått möjlighet att ta ut svängarna lite extra. Många av dem har gjort detta med bravur och jag vill visa upp några exempel på hur de valt att tolka uppgiften. Uppgiften gick ut på att välja en del av berättelsen om Romeo & Julia och göra en egen tolkning. Jag har fått in fantastiska tolkningar som jag inte kommer visa upp här: låtar, vloggar och andra texter. Chattar i sociala medier Många elever har valt att placera Romeo och Julia i nutid och låta dem kommunicera i dagens sociala medier. Bildtolkningar Skönlitterär text Nyhetsartikel Vlog

Before starting any news report, the most important point to remember is: Keep it simple. Planning As with any story, you must plan how you want to start your report and how you want to end it.
