Creatively Displaying Student Work Enthusiasm invariably improves when hands on activities are used; however, for students to master reading, writing and math skills, instructional focus on these skills needs to be maintained. Hands on activities must be carefully selected if they are to increase students' attention on academics rather than provide a motivating diversion from them. For that reason, I have listed below a variety of ideas for projects designed to help students use their creativity to display their academic work. In addition, I have made a project assignment page to accompany this for students, which students can use as a handout or, to take advantage of hyperlinks, as a Web page. 1.

Timeline Timeline allows students to create a graphical representation of an event or process by displaying items sequentially along a line. Timelines can be organized by time of day, date, or event, and the tool allows users to create a label with short or long descriptive text. Adding an image for each label makes a timeline more visually appealing. Add, drag, and rearrange items as needed. Saving capability allows students to return to their work and make revisions, and they can share their final work via e-mail. For additional ideas on how to use this tool outside of the classroom, see Timeline in the Parent & Afterschool Resources section.

DOGO News - Kids news articles! Kids current events; plus kids news on science, sports, and more! Sentences There are three main types of sentences. The first of these is called a simple sentence. A simple sentence has one independent clause and expresses one idea. Example A simple sentence must have one subject - verb combination but the subject may be compound, ie have more than one element. A simple sentence can also have a compound verb construction. Simple sentences can only have only one subject-verb combination and commas are not used. Examples Next Activity 1 Digital Storytelling: Cos’è, come utilizzarlo nella didattica, con quali strumenti si realizza Il Digital Storytelling ovvero la Narrazione realizzata con strumenti digitali (web apps, webware) consiste nell’organizzare contenuti selezionati dal web in un sistema coerente, retto da una struttura narrativa, in modo da ottenere un racconto costituito da molteplici elementi di vario formato (video, audio, immagini, testi, mappe, ecc.). Caratteristiche di questa tipologia comunicativa sono: # il fascino: derivante dal carattere fabulatorio che possiedono le storie, dato che si tratta, fondamentalmente, di racconti; # la ricchezza e varietà di stimoli e significati: derivanti dall’alta densità informativa e dall’amalgama di codici, formati, eventi, personaggi, informazioni, che interagiscono tra loro attraverso molteplici percorsi e diverse relazioni analogiche. # Si tratta quindi di una forma di narrazione particolarmente indicata per forme comunicative come quelle proprie del giornalismo, della politica, del marketing, dell’autobiografia e anche della didattica. 1. 2. 3. 4.1. 4.2.

KidsCom - Create - Write me a story Write Me a Story is the place where you can try your writing skills, share your imagination, read fun stories and maybe even get published on the Internet! Each week we'll challenge you to write a story using the character, place and prop we give you. Your story can be as funny, sad or silly as you want, but nothing your parents would get mad about. Each week we randomly select five stories by kids 11 and younger and five by kids 12 and older to put in the Ballot Box. Don't forget: for safety's sake leave out personal information like your last name, phone number, e-mail or home address in your story. Are you ready?

Sentence Sequencing What is it? An activity/game that allows children to practice combining nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc to make a sentence. "Helpers" is the term I am using to describe articles, conjunctions, punctuation and the passive verb "was". Nouns - I've provided 8 nouns. Verbs - I've provided 6 verbs. You have a choice between past tense and present tense verbs. Colors - 6 color cards are provided. Emotions - I've provided 4 emotions cards. NOTE: This page is fairly long -- the templates are all the way at the bottom. Activity Suggestions 1. arrange the cards into piles (the verbs have a colored background to make it a tad easier for the kids to sort things) allow the children to create their own sentences using the cards. 2. In this activity, we'll use sight (showing), sound (reading) and repetition (memory) to reinforce sentence structure. Now put one of the cards back in the appropriate (noun, verb, emotion, color) pile Template Instructions Flash card type templates. Templates: Bible themes

TUTTO E' STORYTELLING? Cos’è lo storytelling? E’la capacità di raccontare una storia. Niente di più di semplice, dunque, per gli insegnanti. Se parliamo invece di storytelling digitale intendiamo la stessa capacità di raccontare qualcosa, ma utilizzando strumenti digitali come video, immagini, mappe e infografiche, file audio e tutta una serie di strumenti innovativi che possono arricchire lo storytelling e rendere più interessante, coinvolgente e accattivante una lezione. Gli studenti, si sa, sono ormai abituati a un mondo iperconnesso, sempre più social e digitale, con svariati stimoli provenienti dalla tecnologia. Gli elementi multimediali e creativi, come evidenziato da diversi studi, favoriscono la memorizzazione e incrementano il coinvolgimento e la motivazione degli studenti. Ecco alcuni spunti di storytelling digitale in classe: Storytelling cronologico: creazione o condivisione di materiale digitale che segua un ordine cronologico. Il miglior modo per condividere questi materiali con la classe?

ESL in Canada - Introduction to Sentences - English Grammar Lessons Introduction to Sentence Structure The two fundamental parts of every English sentence are the subject and the predicate. A simple sentence can also be described as a group of words expressing a complete thought. Subject + predicate = sentence A simple sentence or independent clause must have a verb. Subject + verb = sentence Sentence Structure Vocabulary The sentence format consists of a subject and a predicate. The subject names the topic and the predicate tells about the subject. A sentence with one subject and one predicate is called a simple sentence. The receiver of actions is called the object. A group of words used as a single value without subject or predicate is called a phrase. A clause is a group of words with a subject and predicate. Principal or independent clauses can form sentences. A compound sentence contains two or more principal clauses. A clause which cannot form a sentence is called a dependant clause.
