Datorspelande – en skjuts för engelskan - Göteborgs-Posten Nu är det vetenskapligt fastställt: Flitiga datorspelare får ett bättre engelskt ordförråd. Det visar en studie från Göteborgs och Karlstads universitet. Studien bekräftar det som många föräldrar och lärare redan tyckt sig kunnat se – de ungdomar som spelar mycket interaktiva engelska datorspel får ett försteg vad gäller det engelska ordförrådet jämfört med de som inte spelar, eller bara spelar lite. I studien ingår 76 ungdomar i åldrarna 10-11 år. Data har samlats in via frågeformulär och en så kallad språkdagbok. Där listas alla möten med det engelska språket utanför skolan, liksom datoranvändning och digitalt spelande. Resultaten visar att skillnaden mellan könen är stor vad gäller datorspelande. De datorspel som visar sig vara mest effektiva för utvecklandet av engelsk vokabulär är så kallade "massively multiplayer online role-playing game" – en genre av datorrollspel där ett stort antal spelare interagerar med varandra i en virtuell värld.

Tydliggöra Lgr 11 i engelska Kunskapsvägg Jag skall bygga upp en kunskapsvägg tillsammans med eleverna den här terminen för att tydliggöra vad vi ska göra och vad eleverna skall träna på för att nå kunskapskraven. Jag skall använda mig av Ulrika Elissons fina material som går att dra ut i Pdf-format på hennes blogg Ullis skolsida. Ulrika har skapat kunskapsväggar inom alla ämnen och årskurser som du kan hitta här: Tanken bakom är viktig För mig är det väldigt viktigt att det finns en tanke bakom arbetet och att eleverna får vara med i processen. Jag har gjort en Prezi som jag kommer att inleda höstens engelsklektioner med, där jag utifrån Ullis kunskapsvägg presenterar det centrala innehållet och de olika förmågorna. Min Prezi lägger jag in här och du är såklart varmt välkommen att använda den :)
Paper flower tutorial I thought some of you would enjoy a quick tutorial on how to make those little paper flowers I used as part of my table setting a couple weeks ago. The credit for these go to Martha Stewart (I saw this idea nearly 10 years ago in her magazine, but haven't been able to find it on her website). So here I go.. Step 1: Draw a spiral on a 4x4" square sheet of paper Step 2: Cut out spiral along lines you have drawn Step 3: Begin rolling up the spiral from the outside Step 4: Keep on rolling until there's no more left to roll Step 5: You're done! I used a slightly heavier weight paper for this one, but you can use normal paper as well. Note: You may use a bit of glue or double-stick tape to keep the flower from unrolling and loosening up with time.

Punched Out is a free font that allows you to type letters, print, cut, fold, and glue to make 3D forms. Created by Tobias Sommer, it's available for download at Dafont or Fontstruct.
