Kopia av Music quiz year 9 12 metacognition-modelling strategies for the foreign language classroom Metacognitive skills are arguably the most important set of skills we need for our journey through life as they orchestrate every cognitive skill involved in problem-solving, decision-making and self-monitoring (both cognitive and socio-affective).

Yearbook | Skolans roligaste arbetsområde för år 9! Yearbook! Vi vill intressera er för ett skolarbete i ämnet engelska som eleverna verkligen kommer att uppskatta. Både för att det är fantastiskt roligt att skapa en Yearbook men framför allt för den fina produkt som slutresultatet ger. Ni kan antingen arbeta fram Yearbooken som ett arbete med en LPP och där man bedöms i en bedömningsmatris. (LPP och bedömningsmatris medföljer startpaketet) Här ställs lite högre krav på elevens insats och även på läraren som får rätta och bedöma varje elevs insats.
