BATTLESHIP: IRREGULAR VERBS | ELT-CATION Much to learn, you still have. – Joda. Despite the evidence that the number of irregular verbs is declining in the English language, there is no danger they will disappear, and the struggle will continue. There are many attempts to find a shortcut in learning irregular verbs, yet with all the options and “magic tricks” available, learning these verbs requires much memorization, drilling and practice. Today I will show how I use the Battleship game to drill and practise irregular verbs in a fun way. Before the game: Each player will need two 10×10 grids – one with irregular verbs in each square, and one blank grid. Click the Grids to download them. The players then mark where they want to place their ships by circling rows, horizontally or vertically. Each player’s fleet consists of the following ships: 1 aircraft carrier – 5 squares 1 battleship – 4 squares 1 cruiser – 3 squares 2 destroyers – 2 squares each 2 submarines – 1 square each How to play: some more games with irregular verbs from Engames.
The ESL Free Press A company in California promised to make people rich, but most of them never made any money at all. Now it's been ordered to pay back over $25 million. The company and its president are no longer allowed to offer any business or work-at-home opportunities. The Zaken Corp., in Thousand Oaks, California, told people they could make $3,000 to $6,000 a week working only two to four hours. But, as the judge in the case said today, “[F]ewer than one percent of consumers ever earned any income at all.” To start, they had to pay $148 for a book on how to find these products. Zaken Corp and the president, Tiran Zaken, ended up in U.S. (Source: U.S.

Podcast Party: A Curated List of Nine Teen-Friendly Podcasts In celebration of the first installment of The Yarn, created by School Library Journal blogger Travis Jonker and Colby Sharp, teen librarian Robin Brenner has curated a roundup of podcasts to recommend to young adults who are both new to and well-versed in the format. Recently, a father and his 12-year-old son were in my library looking for ideas to entertain the boy while he recovered from an upcoming eye surgery. The father pulled out a few audiobooks, but his son was less than enthusiastic about that format. I had a sudden inspiration. I checked to see if the tween would be able to download and listen to podcasts (either via computer or smart phone), and suggested WNYC’s Radiolab. I pitched this science-centric podcast as a funny, smart exploration of questions, such as why we laugh, or why we see colors the way we do. Podcasting started as audio programs produced exclusively for the iPod (hence the name). Given the thousands of podcasts available, where should teens start?
Reading in the Mathematics Classroom by Joan M. Kenney, Euthecia Hancewicz, Loretta Heuer, Diana Metsisto and Cynthia L. Tuttle To many teachers, mathematics is simply a matter of cueing up procedures for students, who then perform the appropriate calculations. Certainly teachers try to help students to read and interpret mathematics text and discuss problem-solving strategies with them. Unless mathematics teachers are generalists and have been trained in reading instruction, they don't see literacy as part of their skill set. Listening to teachers reword or interpret mathematics problems for their students has led me to start conversations with teachers about taking time to work specifically on reading and interpretation. All mathematics teachers recognize the need to teach their students to read and interpret what I'll call mathematical sentences: equations and inequalities. Martinez and Martinez (2001) highlight the importance of reading to mathematics students: Reading Requirements for Mathematics Text Strategic Reading
