All Things Grammar - Home HUMAN BINGO | ELT-CATION It’s said that once one player got so excited that he’d won, he cried “Bingo” instead of “Beano”. The name stuck. Acknowledgement: No, I have not invented this game. No, (here goes any name of a Dumbledore in ELT you’d kindly suggest), they have not been the first to use this game as an educational tool. And no, I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel. Before the game: make a list of 15 questions that you’d ask your students. E.g. if you’d like to focus on tense review, these tense review questions could be handy Alternatively, get your students to come up with questions they would ask someone they meet for the first time/haven’t seen for ages/ at the interview/ etc. – Specify there should be no ‘yes-no’ questions. Step 1. Hand out a sheet of A4 paper to each student. Step 2. Ask your students to write down an answer to the first question in any square. Step 3. Happy teaching!

E-waste, recycling, and sustainability - Geography (9,10) - ABC Splash - A TV monitor lies amongst electronic trash. Playing on it are images of recycling trash being picked up by truck and sorted and processed in plants.TANYA HA, REPORTERRight now, you are watching trashy television and I mean that in the nicest possible way. But the way we sort the stuff we want from the stuff we don't all boils down to some beautiful simple physics in action, starting with size and weight.Rubbish passes over a vibrating conveyer belt, some of it falling off.TANYA HAThis incline of vibrating, spinning rubber discs acts like a giant sieve. The lightweight paper and cardboard moves up, heavier, more compact bottles and cans move down.Tanya Ha lowers a textbook.

Arbeta språkutvecklande med hjälp av Storybird När vi hade planeringsdag på skolan gick programmet i språkets tecken. En kollega startade upp sitt försteläraruppdrag med inriktning ”språkutvecklande arbetssätt”, vi såg på skolverkets film ”Språk – och kunskapsutvecklande arbete” som en upptakt till fortsatta diskussioner kring hur vi arbetar på vår skola. Vi diskuterade bl.a. hur elevernas språkliga förmågor ser ut hos eleverna, vilka förväntningar vi har på eleverna och hur vi kan undvika att missta oss på elevernas språkförmåga då de t.ex. trots allt har ett rikt vardagsspråk. Vi funderade även över hur vi, i våra olika verksamheter såsom fritids, förskoleklass och skola arbetar språkutvecklande med våra elever och gav praktiska exempel utifrån de olika verksamheterna. Efter filmen, de efterföljande diskussionerna och en kaffepaus var det min tur att på ett mer praktiskt sätt visa hur du kan arbeta språkutvecklande med hjälp av Storybird. Storybird är ett verktyg som lockar ”elever” i alla åldrar. Storybird i förskoleklass
Sweden elections: How do they work? National, regional, and local elections are taking place in Sweden on September 14th. Whether you're a first-time voter or a fresh armchair observer, The Local's beginners' guide will answer the key questions you were too afraid to ask. Why is Sweden holding elections now? There are elections in Sweden every four years. There are 349 seats up for grabs in the national parliament (Riksdag) and registered voters will also choose the next politicians to make up 21 county councils and 290 municipal assemblies. Can I have a say? You have to be a Swedish citizen aged 18 or over to vote in national elections. Where do I vote? If you're allowed to vote, you should get a voting card in the post, giving you the details of your nearest polling station. How do I vote? Sweden uses multi-coloured ballot papers. Once you've worked out what colour you need, you can then choose from three different types of ballot paper. Photo: Pontus Lundahl/TT How are the winners chosen? How will we know which party has won?

Stockholm's shocking take on Halloween American Bill Schacht missed the spooky outfits, family feasts and charity events he associated with Halloween when he moved to Sweden. So he did something about it. The Local meets the founder of the capital's annual Shockholm parade. Halloween is a relatively young tradition in Sweden, with few people celebrating it until the 1990s. But the festival is gradually becoming an annual event here as Swedes slowly embrace scary costumes, cobweb decorations and group get-togethers. "The potential for Halloween to grow in Sweden is huge but you can't compare it to how it's celebrated elsewhere just yet," American Bill Schacht tells The Local. Originally from New York, Schacht is a huge Halloween enthusiast who has experienced his home city's annual Village Halloween Parade many times over. Missing the autumn party atmosphere, Schacht started Shockholm in 2011 – the first Halloween parade around the Swedish capital, with residents invited to dress up and join the procession.
