MLA Formatting and Style Guide Coming Soon: A new look for our same great content! We're working hard this summer on a redesign of the Purdue OWL. Worry not! Our navigation menu and content will remain largely the same. Summary: MLA (Modern Language Association) style is most commonly used to write papers and cite sources within the liberal arts and humanities. Contributors: Tony Russell, Allen Brizee, Elizabeth Angeli, Russell Keck, Joshua M. The following overview should help you better understand how to cite sources using MLA eighth edition, including the list of works cited and in-text citations. Please use the example at the bottom of this page to cite the Purdue OWL in MLA. Creating a Works Cited list using the eighth edition MLA is a style of documentation based on a general methodology that may be applied to many different types of writing. Thus, the current system is based on a few guiding principles, rather than an extensive list of specific rules. Here is an overview of the process: Author Said, Edward W. Number
Lektionsförslag: Bild- och textpromenad för eleverna – pedagogiska samtal för lärarna Köpte Pija Lindenbaums nya bok ”Kan jag med” (det går också att provläsa där, hipp hurra) och tänkte att vi kunde göra en bildpromenad i omslaget och en tanke att utveckla i de pedagogiska samtalen vid skolan. Låt eleverna få göra en bildpromenad i omslaget: 1) Först skapar vi ordförråd, ett gemensamt i rummet. Jag är också tydlig med att ge eleverna ordet – de får alla säga. 2) … vad föreställer vi oss händer i omslaget, vad kan hända i boken om omslaget berättar Nu får vi berätta om vad bilden säger oss, alltså vad vi tänker och tror. 3) Om vi vill ha kortskrivning, bara för att vi vill ge omslaget en rubrik, en mening, ett utrop, en tanke, en liten inledande berättelse kan vi gärna ha det. 4) Så slår vi upp boken. BILD och TEXTPROMENAD Textsidan kan vi också göra en bildpromenad i. Gå tillbaka till omslaget. Den här lektionen passar alla årskurser. Illustrationen visar två barn. Att vilja lära sig – hur ser vi det?
3D Shapes . Surface Area & Volume Have you ever wanted to gift wrap a poster tube? Did you ever wonder how much wrapping paper you would need? Let's explore the formula. Surface Area of a Cylinder = 2 r2 + 2 r h h = height of the cylinder, r = radius of the top, approximate value of pi: 3.14. Similar to the rectangle we just finished, Surface Area = Areas of top and bottom + Area of the side(s) Unlike the rectangle, which has 4 sides, the cylinder only has 1 side. Let's picture our cylinder-shaped gift. Circle area formula is r2. Let's use another example, a soup can. r) * h. Add those two parts together and you have the formula for the surface area of a cylinder. Surface Area = 2( r2) + (2 r) * h Although is approximately 3.14, in this activity we will use = 3.14 for calculations. Surface Area of a Cylinder After hitting the next button, enter your calculation in the box.
Ämnesutvecklarna i Filipstad: Engelska Torsdagen den 23 maj hade vi en träff med projektgruppen i engelska och vi påbörjade en diskussion om hur vi kan hjälpa elever, som är i behov av mycket stöd i engelska, på bästa sätt. Alla vi var överens om att det finns en stor bredd i elevernas kunskaper av det engelska språket i varje klass. När man är en duktig pedagog och man har meningsfulla, effektiva lektioner i den engelskundervisningen är det inte så svårt att höja de flesta elevernas kunskaper i engelska. Men vi upplever att det kan vara svårt att ”få med” de elever som inte har kommit lika långt i sin utveckling av det engelska språket. Vi diskuterade vad vi i nuläget gör i klassrummet eller/och vad vi önskar. · Sjunga! · Om man vet att en svagare elev kan, låt den komma till tals då. · Lekar är bra, eleverna är avslappnade. · Läraren står bredvid och säger före (viskar), eleven repeterar. · Låt kompisarna hjälpa till. · CD-skiva till texterna, lyssna hemma på ljudinspelningen av texten man jobbar med i klassen. · Grupparbete.
Summer Travel for Teachers Not surprisingly, summer is prime travel time for teachers. But it’s also the best opportunity for meaningful professional development. Which option should the professional educator choose? How about both! There are plenty of ways for teachers to scratch the travel itch and become better educators at the same time. Some of them are even free! Conferences Summer is the major time for educational conferences. ISTE – The largest edtech conference in the country: June 28–July 1 in PhiladelphiaSerious Play – For educators who embrace the idea that games can aid in learning: July 21–23 in PittsburghFlipCon – Centered on flipped learning, presented by the people who started the trend: July 13–15 in East Lansing, Michigan Fellowships For those interested in longer engagements, fellowships and workshops can be a great way to see the world, usually on the dime of the U.S. government or a foundation.

After a decade that saw a steady decline in the number of computer science classes in American high schools, the education landscape is finally waking up with renewed vigor and offering a plethora of program options on the subject. With all the buzz about computing and, more specifically, coding, it is important to note that not all coding experiences are equal and what students take away in terms of thinking and problem-solving skills is perhaps the best measure of their success. At the forefront of this growing movement, Edmentum is proud to unveil its newest subject for EducationCity--Computing! Built to provide K–5 students with fundamental technological knowledge and skills, this subject includes the interactive activities and expansive teacher resources you have grown to expect from EducationCity.

[6 Tips] Effective Intervention Programs Having an outstanding intervention program is a necessity for identifying struggling students and helping them to get back on track academically. However, with all of the buzzwords and trends related to intervention floating around, it can be difficult to determine what truly makes a program effective. Read on for some simple tips that apply for any kind of intervention program. 1. Leverage your data Make the most of your student data by identifying discrete, measurable objectives and monitoring them in a regular, consistent manner. 2. Within Intervention frameworks, assessments should be used to serve two different purposes: identification of students who are at-risk and to monitor student progress. 3. One of the most important aspects of any intervention program is a clearly and consistently implemented process. 4. 5. 6. At the core of every successful intervention program is scientific, evidence-based curriculum and instructional practices. An RTI Guide for Educators
