Att anpassa språket - vad innebär det? - Mia Smith En utveckling av engelskan på högstadiet är att man lägger alltmer fokus på anpassningen av språket. Vem talar vi med? Vem skriver vi texten för? Hur talar vi när vi talar med olika personer? I kursplanen i engelska ser det ut så här: I muntlig och skriftlig interaktion i olika sammanhang kan eleven uttrycka sig enkelt och begripligt samt i någon mån anpassat till syfte, mottagare och situation. (Kunskapskrav för E i år 9 i engelska) När jag talar med eleverna om detta brukar jag ta upp extrema hälsningen. Ett annat sätt att påvisa stilen är att använda så kallade clines, gradvisa skalor. Det jag vill påvisa är vad eleverna redan kan. Ofta hamnar jag i slutändan av året i läget att några elever har lite mer att visa, lite mer att ge som de inte lyckats få fram under året. Det här upplägget brukar få eleverna att visa sina bästa sidor. Kanske är det här ett upplägg som fler lärare vill använda nu under sista veckorna på terminen?

Global Read Aloud | One Book to Connect the World Five Paragraph Essay – The Boy in the Striped Pajamas – The Canswedian Englis... In a previous blog post I wrote about the three paragraph essay on a personal Hero we do in Grade 8. I encourage you all to look at Terry Fox – he is BOUND to make an impact. There is a movie as well on him. The last time we watched this movie, my co-teacher was in the back of the classroom sobbing… you know who you are. In Grade 9 we build upon… no wait… buzzword time.. SCAFFOLD upon this knowledge by doing a five paragraph essay. The impact this book has on the students and how you as a teacher can relate it to incidents of racial intolerance and bullying in today’s society is extremely needed. How is all this going to go down? Lesson 1 – 2: I will show the little blueberries how to identify themes – I found this resource on Slideshare which looks to be pretty thorough, and allows the students to practice as well. Leson 3 – 6: Once they have an idea of how to do this, we will watch the movie and read excerpts from the book. Lesson 7 – 9: And that is the whole kit and caboodle!
