Mia Smith - ämnesspanare Funderar du på vad du ska göra för att fånga elevernas intresse på din provlektion inför språkvalet? Hur ska du presentera språket så att det verkar intressant för eleverna att välja det nya språket? En del väljer det språket som verkar vara lättare. En del väljer det språket som de kan få hjälp med hemma. Några väljer enligt grupptryck medan vissa väljer det språket som de inte tror ska vara populärt för att få vara med i en liten grupp och på det sättet få studiero. Vi bör tydliggöra att läsa språket ska vara roligt men det kräver också engagemang speciellt när man ska ta ytterligare ett steg i utvecklingen och komma upp till nästa nivå. En lektion räcker inte till för att eleverna ska kunna genomföra ett säkert och informerat val och därför är det nyttigt att göra andra aktiviteter i samband med valet.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? (Sonnet 18) read poems by this poet William Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564, in Stratford-on-Avon. The son of John Shakespeare and Mary Arden, he was probably educated at the King Edward VI Grammar School in Stratford, where he learned Latin and a little Greek and read the Roman dramatists. At eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway, a woman seven or eight years his senior. Little is known about Shakespeare’s activities between 1585 and 1592. In 1594, Shakespeare joined the Lord Chamberlain’s company of actors, the most popular of the companies acting at Court. While Shakespeare was regarded as the foremost dramatist of his time, evidence indicates that both he and his contemporaries looked to poetry, not playwriting, for enduring fame. In his poems and plays, Shakespeare invented thousands of words, often combining or contorting Latin, French, and native roots. Shakespeare wrote more than thirty plays.

LanguageandLiteracyTheoryandPractice - Music in the English Classroom "If you have never tried using music in these ways.... please do!" -- Chris Brewer [1] Using music in any class can help to create a more positive learning environment and there is no better classroom to incorporate this than the English classroom. English class is a time in the school day where students are exploring different forms of literature and media which allows the teacher an opportunity to play non-distracting music for the class. Simply listening to music while doing activities and independent study can help students to focus and raise energy levels. Listening to music can also help students get inspired about the study of English and make connections between the two arts. A very effective way of using music in the English classroom is through direct music activities. Studies have shown that listening to music can temporarily increase right brain activity in students. Culture Mozart Effect The Mozart Effect is a study on the effects that music has on the human mind.

Romeo and Juliet: Plot Overview In the streets of Verona another brawl breaks out between the servants of the feuding noble families of Capulet and Montague. Benvolio, a Montague, tries to stop the fighting, but is himself embroiled when the rash Capulet, Tybalt, arrives on the scene. After citizens outraged by the constant violence beat back the warring factions, Prince Escalus, the ruler of Verona, attempts to prevent any further conflicts between the families by decreeing death for any individual who disturbs the peace in the future. Romeo, the son of Montague, runs into his cousin Benvolio, who had earlier seen Romeo moping in a grove of sycamores. Meanwhile, Paris, a kinsman of the Prince, seeks Juliet’s hand in marriage. Romeo and Benvolio, still discussing Rosaline, encounter the Capulet servant bearing the list of invitations. In Capulet’s household, young Juliet talks with her mother, Lady Capulet, and her nurse about the possibility of marrying Paris. The feast begins.

ESL Teacher Resources, Job Boards, and Worksheets 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. De exempel jag visar upp är inte nödvändigtvis de bästa eller mest unika, men de representerar olika varianter av tolkningar och påvisar en bredd. 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 Bildtolkningar
