G’day Everyone – Time to Focus on Australia! – Focus on Mrs Jones I FoE 8 har vi ett kapitel om Australien med. Där finns ett gäng olika texter med fakta, kuriosa, ett Quiz, en tonårings upplevelser av Oz och en av mina favoriter: The Mystery of Hanging Rock. (För er som har sett filmen Picknick at Hanging Rock eller kanske läst Joan Lindseys bok så är detta en extra treat ;-). Texten tar nämligen avstamp i de minst sagt mystiska händelseförloppen som utspelade sig vid Woodend år 1900 …) Men det här inlägget handlar mer om hur man kan starta upp arbetet med kapitlet samt lite kul tips på länkar som handlar om språkbruk. Det mesta är saxat ur lärarhandledningen. Intro och Australia – True or False? Svaren på detta och annat ges i en hörövning Så här kan ni arbeta • Australien är förstås inte bara känguruer. • Ett annat sätt att introducera Australia är att be eleverna under en eller två minuter skriva ner så mycket som de kan om Australien (nyckelord/stödord).

Happy American Thanksgiving 2017! What is the history behind the US national ... If you're in the mood for a festive celebration, Thanksgiving might be the holiday for you. Of course, it's an American national holiday, but the vast majority of people in the UK are at least vaguely aware of Thanksgiving Day. Featuring in any number of films out there, it involves families coming together to share a feast centred around turkey, take in massive parades and watch American football. Lots of expat Americans living this side of the Atlantic will celebrate Thanksgiving on Thursday 23 November, but many Brits won't have a clue what exactly is being honoured. So here's everything you need to know about the festivities which serve as a pre-cursor to Christmas. When is Thanksgiving?
