Vi skapar #BlackOutPoetry Vi har tjuvstartat skapandet av BlackOutPoetry, ett tema som jag tänkte ha till hösten egentligen. Jag har tre nior som ville göra något kreativt sista veckorna. De som är klara med sina uppgifter har fått några exempel i korridoren att inspireras av: Elevexemplena är gjorda i förra veckan av några elever (och en av mig) och nu sitter där även en faktatext bredvid om vad BlackOutPoetry är för något. Eleverna kan läsa följande: BlackOutPoetry – ett kreativt sätt att få igång skapandet av egna dikter BlackOutPoetry innebär att man använder redan skrivna ord och gör dikter av dem. När man skapar BlackOut Poetry börjar man med att ringa in de ord man vill ha kvar så de bildar en dikt. Den som sägs ha startat dikterna är en man vid namn Austin Kleon.

Something To Write About Standard Grade Bitesize English - Newspaper report : Revision 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. Jeg pleier derfor å si at man må ha skrevet minst en halv side (7. trinn) før man har lov til å rope bingo. 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 Denne oversikten kan du finne her :-)

Att skriva filmmanus Film är ju fantastiskt roligt. Kul att spela in, roligt att titta på…. men ganska krävande att skriva manus. För att resultatet ska bli riktigt bra kan eleverna skriva Storyboards, men det är svårt och mycket tidskrävande. Dessutom är min erfarenhet att eleverna ändå gör ändringar och improvisationer när de väl filmar. Men ska filmen bli bra förutsätter det att manuset bygger på en trovärdig och genomförbar historia. Niornas filmarbete detta läsår startade redan i höstas då eleverna skrev en novell. Eleverna presenterar sina noveller i mindre grupper som jag bestämt. Varje punkt ovan motsvarar ett antal scener. Filmtekniska inslag planeras för varje scen. Anslag – olika sätt att börja filmen anslag1 (en allvetande berättare – De misstänkta)anslag2 (direkt in i handlingen – James Bond intro)anslag3 (tillbakablickar/ramberättelse – Forrest Gump)anslag4 (presentera karaktärerna i en lång dialog – The usual suspects) Hur dramaturgin i en scen byggs upp
