This Is My Secret Ozge Karaoglu's Blog - About apps and web tools, and being a teacher … 25 Things You Should Know About Word Choice - StumbleUpon 1. A Series Of Word Choices Here’s why this matters: because both writing and storytelling comprise, at the most basic level, a series of word choices. Words are the building blocks of what we do. They are the atoms of our elements. They are the eggs in our omelets. 2. Words are like LEGO bricks: the more we add, the more we define the reality of our playset. 3. You know that game — “Oh, you’re cold, colder, colder — oh! 4. Think of it like a different game, perhaps: you’re trying to say as much as possible with as few words as you can muster. 5. Finding the perfect word is as likely as finding a downy-soft unicorn with a pearlescent horn riding a skateboard made from the bones of your many enemies. 6. For every right word, you have an infinity of wrong ones. 7. You might use a word that either oversteps or fails to meet the idea you hope to present. 8. Remember how I said earlier that words are like LEGO, blah blah blah help define reality yadda yadda poop noise? 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14.

4 Options for Improving Your Fiction We writers can be impatient—not only with the process of writing and getting published, but with ourselves for not being perfect from the get-go. We readily accept the need for intensive training and ongoing skills development for our day jobs, but when it comes to writing, we often expect to just be able to ‘do it’. I used to be a teacher. I spent four years completing degrees in English and education, then took three more professional development courses to expand my qualifications. Once I received my first full-time classroom position, I attended workshops every few months. I never questioned the need for this type of training. However, it took me a year or two of writing (and failing at writing) to learn that the path to becoming seriously skilled was going to be longer and more difficult than I ever imagined. But that’s okay. If you’ve ever looked at your writing and seen nothing but problems, I’m here to tell you it’s a good thing: you’re on the right track. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Selon Marie-Rivoire :Il serait faux de réduire cette méthode de travail à du simple travail en groupes. Il s’agit au contraire d’une façon de travailler totalement différente, avec une méthodologie très précise, qui a des conséquences nettes, rapides et durables sur l’ambiance de classe, la participation, la motivation et donc, par conséquence, le niveau des élèves. Présenter le travail en îlots bonifiés en quelques lignes est impossible. Si vous souhaitez la mettre en pratique, vous pouvez consulter le site de Marie Rivoire. . Les élèves sont par groupes de 4 ou 5, réunis autour de plusieurs tables formant un îlot. Quelques documents
