Show me what you can do - Mia Smith Vi har alla varit där. Du ska hålla en muntlig presentation inför klassen. På ett annat språk. Svetten lackar. Att få bedömningsunderlag för muntlig produktion är en logistisk mardröm. Jag har tidigare bloggat om vikten av att plocka in den extramurala engelskan i undervisningen för att öka motivationen och visat exempel på hur eleverna får uttrycka sig genom olika mer nydanande textformer. Mina 7or fick en liknande uppgift, dock med mindre uttalad mottagare. Elevernas filmer blir bara någon minut långa, men det räcker gott för att jag som lärare ska hinna bilda mig en tydlig uppfattning om hur deras talade engelska låter. En bonus är att eleverna lär sig hantera ytterligare funktioner på sin dator, vilket ju också ligger inom ramen för skolans uppdrag. En ytterligare effekt är att jag lär känna mina elever ännu bättre.

Engelsk skoldag åk 4-5 – Sidensjöskolan The english schoolday at the 26th of April 2017. On our English schoolday we wore schooluniforms. We had something white on the top and something black on the bottom and a tie. First we sang three songs for the classes under us. We had arts. We did some math problems. We ate fish and sliced potatoes to lunch. We saw a few films about english schooldays. We had Physical training and we went out and did the Smith family. We read books in english. We drank tea and ate scones. We took a classphoto. That was our whole English schoolday! ESL Debates Should young children be allowed to work in the performing arts or professional sports? Child performers (actors, singers, figure-skaters, gymnasts etc.) often form an exception on the ban on child labour existing in most countries. Provided with on-set or on-pitch tutors they can train or perform for many hours each week on top of their schoolwork. For some this results in Olympic medals or multi-million dollar movies before they reach adulthood.

The Great Balloon Debate – The Canswedian English Teacher Sitting here in a super important meeting at school….so I decided to write a blog post. I just heard someone say it will go fast. We’re going on hour two now. Aaaanyhoo… The Great Balloon Debate is a great speaking activity/icebreaker for more advanced students (maybe grade 9). The scenario is that there are eight people in a balloon – but the balloon suddenly starts to fall out of the sky. Read the attached file – there are different scenarios you can do, but for time’s sake I get them to choose four people to stay in the balloon, and just keep narrowing it down until there are only two people left in the whole class. I had one girl win because she shouted … ” FOR GOD’S SAKE! Update: The meeting is still going on… Here is another website with a different template than I use Balloon Debates: Templates and Tips!
