Blackout poetry – poesi som engagerar Poesi nämns i kursplanen i engelska, men jag tycker det är svårt. Som elev tyckte jag alltid att det kändes krystat att klämma fram något, jag tror att det är därför jag själv tvekar att plocka in det. Jag ställer liksom själv in mig på att eleverna ska protestera. Men så kom ett så bra tips från fantastiska Annika Sjödahl som jag bara var tvungen att prova, ett tips som från början kom från kållegan Cecilia Lind. Upplägget handlar om Blackout Poetry, ett sätt att skriva utan att skriva. Som bas hade jag Annikas Thinglink. Vi började vid siffran 1, där finns en länk till ett Ted talk om Blackout Poetry med Austin Kleon. Sedan klickade vi på siffran 2, där vi såg en kort instruktionsfilm om hur man gör. Efter detta plockades tidningar, saxar och pennor fram. Hur ska jag utvärdera detta, då?

Blackout Poetry There’s something positively thrilling about carrying a pristine bundle of brand new books into your classroom library, introducing them for the first time to wide-eyed students, then seeing this exuberance repeated multiple times — hopefully over many years — on the faces of countless students as they read a great book for the first time. Despite gallant efforts of classroom teachers to prolong their existence, there comes a point in the life of every classroom library book when it is finally time to say goodbye. Where do good books go to live out their final days? If you’re like me, discarding a once valued member of our classroom into the trash is simply not an option. Once their covers are torn, entire chapters are missing, and who-knows-what is stuck between the pages, create blackout poems to repurpose and honor the memory of old, worn-out books. Blackout Poems Stacy Antoville, an amazing middle school art teacher in New York City, first introduced me to blackout poetry.

Anmäl dig till ordverkstad - Ordkonst Ordverkstaden är en inspirerande plats där barn och unga får ge utlopp för sin skaparglädje och hitta sitt eget personliga uttryckssätt. I ordverkstaden skriver man, leker med ord, berättar muntligt, gör teaterpjäser, ritar serier, gör egna tidningar och böcker och ger utlopp för fantasins kraft på många olika roliga sätt. Gruppen består av en grupp på ca 8-12 barn eller unga som träffas en gång i veckan. Varmt välkommen med i ordkonstens fantasifulla värld! Höstterminen: 3.9.2018 - (12 gånger) Vårterminen: 14.1.2019 - (13 gånger) Anmälningslänkarna för läsåret 2018-2019 hittar du nedan: Anmäl dig till ordverkstäderna i ÅbolandAnmäl dig till ordverkstäderna i Nyland Broschyrer för de olika regionerna: Bingo-writing - Kittys engelskoppgaver Velg ut det bingoskjemaet du ønsker å bruke.Del ut skjemaet til elevene.Om ønskelig kan dere snakke om ordene/setningene i rutene før elevene begynner å skrive. Det lønner seg i de fleste sammenhenger, og siden bingo pleier å motivere, opplever jeg at de faktisk pleier å følge bedre med enn vanlig :-)Elevene starter så med å skrive en tekst, og når de bruker et av ordene i bingoskjemaet, så kan de sette et kryss over ordet.Når de har brukt 5 ord på rad, enten vannrett, loddrett eller diagonalt, så kan de få BINGO!NB! Noen elever er lure, og klarer kjapt å bruke mange ord i bare 2-3 setninger. Differensiering: Skjemaene kan med fordel brukes flere ganger. De som strever i engelsk kan da få det samme skjemaet på nytt, mens de det går lettere for, kan få et nytt skjema å jobbe med. Foreløpig finnes Bingo-writing i 4 utgaver: Irregular verbs 1 & 2 På disse bingoskjemaene finner du irregulære verb i preteritum/simple past. Ved å bruke denne bingoen får elevene på en fin måte øvd på disse verbene.

Common Writing Mistakes - English Writing - Learn English Free This article features "dictionary look up". Just double click on any word to get an instant definition (uses a pop-up). Common Writing Mistakes by Michael LaRocca Most books aren't rejected because the stories are "bad." I don't mean places where we, as authors, deliberately break the rules. I've been editing novels for over three years. Once you've found a publisher who publishes what you write, you want to present yourself in the best way possible. The publisher is investing a lot in every book it accepts. The first thing you need to do, and I hope you've already done it, is use the spelling and grammar checkers in your word processor. Here's a list of the mistakes I see most often. * Dialogue where everyone speaks in perfect English and never violates any of the bullet points below. * It's is a contraction for "it is" and its is possessive. * Who's is a contraction for "who is" and whose is possessive. * You're is a contraction for "you are" and your is possessive. * You wear clothes.
