Wondermind – Play games and explore the science of your brain

Tehnikonline.ro Search results for "word wall" I've been doling out a lot of advice recently, so I thought I would frame this post a little differently. Most books and websites geared towards helping you prepare for the first days of school list questions to ask yourself. As long as you've considered what your answers might be, you're well on your way to being ready for the new year. I've read many of these types of lists myself, so forgive me if I'm telling you something you already know or sounding like a poor man's version of somebody else. I'll err on the side of caution and say that these are all the well-worn ideas, and I am merely collecting them here for you: Have you done your summer reading? These two books alone will have you better prepared than the average teacher by far. Where are your students going to sit? How will you find out where your students are at academically? What kind of syllabus or course information are you going to give them? What do you need to know about your students to help them be successful?

How to make marking more efficient: three new techniques for teachers | Teacher Network | Guardian Professional The gallery critique technique is one way teacher Andrew Tharby has improved his marking practice. Photograph: Alamy. In Ted Hughes' visceral first world war poem, Bayonet Charge, a young soldier experiences a moment of psychological clarity amid the chaos of the battlefield. He realises that he is running "Like a man who has jumped up in the dark and runs/Listening between his footfalls for the reason/Of his still running…" Sometimes, as I crouch over another seemingly endless pile of marking, Hughes' words pop into my head. Thankfully I am a secondary English teacher not a first world war soldier. Three reasons lie behind my quest for a more efficient alternative. The answer is not to ignore feedback, but to bring it to the forefront of everything we do in the classroom. The five-minute flick This is one of my favourite strategies. Gallery critique Live marking This also has huge potential.

Collaborative Fund Western Philosophy La tribu más amenazada de la Tierra Podrías pensar que un ritual que se celebra en la selva en una noche de luna llena es algo siniestro. No así el viaje de los awás al reino de los espíritus de la selva: en su caso, se trata de una ocasión familiar. Los niños pequeños miran a las mujeres mientras decoran a sus maridos con plumas de zopilote real usando resina como pegamento. Luego, a medida que sube el volumen de los cánticos de los adultos, los bebés se duermen bajo la luz de la luna. No hay drogas ni alcohol: tan solo con los cánticos los hombres caen en trance. Durante el ritual, los hombres abandonan la Tierra y viajan al iwa, el dominio de los espíritus de la selva. La caza siempre es buena en el iwa, pues también es el hogar de los animales de la selva.

What Is the Most Racist Country in Europe? The BBC's Panorama program broke the news that Poles are all massively racist. What were we even thinking of letting those bigots host the Euro 2012 soccer tournament? In response, the British press has been rumbling and wrangling away at people about it in that way the press does when it has nothing else to talk about. What the BBC have willfully ignored, however, is whether any other country in Europe is actually any better. We at VICE are more scientific than that, so we cast a quick glance around the continent for racists. If you'd like to see a bunch of Swedish fascists in action you should watch our film Teenage Riot: May Day in Eskilstuna.
