Drama Games Spielereader Quick and Dirty Tips™ One of the most frequent questions I’m asked is whether it’s acceptable to end a sentence with a preposition. I know many of you were taught that you shouldn’t end a sentence with a preposition, but it’s a myth. In fact, I consider it one of the top ten grammar myths because many people believe it’s true, but nearly all grammarians disagree, at least in some cases (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). So before I lose you, let's back up. What Is a Preposition? A preposition is a word that creates a relationship between other words. When Can a Sentence End with a Preposition? Here's an example of a sentence that can end with a preposition: What did you step on? I can hear some of you gnashing your teeth right now, while you think, “What about saying, 'On what did you step?'” I've read long arguments about why it's OK to end sentences with prepositions when the preposition isn't extraneous, but the driving point still seems to be “Normal people don't talk that way.” [Where you at?] Cover Letter Grammar

Interactives & Games | Nature Get access to content from your local PBS station.Get sneak previews from some of your favorite shows including Masterpiece, Nova, etc.See what's on tonight at your local PBS station. You`re Fired Description This is a scene with 2 players, in which the lines are scripted. Here`s the script: (1) {Knocks on a door} (2) Come in. You know why I called you? (1) {Indicates she does not know why} n (2) {Hands 1 a (mimed) piece of paper} (1) I thought you wouldn`t take that into account? Have the players play that scene. Then make them replay the scene, but give them a side coaching (which the other player and the audience or the rest of the group don`t hear). You`re nervous, happy, sad, afraid of the other The other smells nice/stinks You`ve been eating beans/garlic You turn into a crow/monkey/cow You are in a wheelchair You try to make a pass at the other Your underwear doesn`t quite fit (too small) You are a bit deaf, you can`t find your glasses, you loose a contact, loose your dentures You are a kleptomaniac Notes Players can do quite a lot without deviating from the script.

Educational Technology Buzzwords Jul 22 Thanks to Boundless and Getting Smart for putting together and sharing this great infographic outlining the latest trends in Educational technology. It helps to cut through all the buzzwords flying around and pinpoint what we may or may not be incorporating in our learning and teaching. It also gets me thinking a lot about educational technology and brings up a lot of questions. Do we need this many technology based eystems in the current education climate? Education buzzwords have for a long time driven me insane as we spend our lives in schools latching on to phrase after phrase that tries to make us sound more knowledgeable without actually being more knowledgeable. Clearly from reading this blog, you would know I have great hopes for the impact educational technology can have on learning and teaching.

Papierflieger Anleitungen The Teacher’s Quick Guide To Pinterest The following article is by Julie Delello of the University of Texas at Tyler. She can be reached at jdelello[at]uttyler.edu if you have any questions or comments. Children learn social skills by interacting freely with peers. Playgrounds provide an opportunity for children from different classrooms to interact and enhance skill development. For some, the relatively new social network site Pinterest has become a virtual playground allowing users to “pin” inspiring images from around the web. As a new teacher, it’s easy to become overwhelmed trying to create motivating lessons while managing the responsibilities within the classroom. Pinterest, created in 2009 and launched in March of 2010, has been ranked 10th out of the top visited social networking sites across the world, allowing users to search for pins with a specific theme or subject. Getting Started Pinterest is straightforward and doesn’t require a lot of technological experience to get started. Set up an account. References
