INTRODUCTION ”The Magic Finger” by Roald Dahl. Årskurs 4 läser just nu ”The Magic Finger” av Roald Dahl. Eleverna har själva fått välja om de vill läsa lite snabbare eller lite långsammare med mer tid för tolkningar och frågor. Det blev till slut två ganska jämna grupper (i alla mina tre klasser). Målet med uppgiften är att: – Kunna läsa boken på engelska, tolka den för att förstå innehållet. – Kunna analysera innehållet för att bearbeta och diskutera. – Kunna använda olika strategier för att förstå och kommunicera. – Kunna kommunicera sin läsupplevelse. Arbetsgång: PLANERING & INTRODUKTION (Läs mer…) Presentation av boken och författaren Roald Dahl för hela klassen. GRUPP B (Läs mer…) Alla elever har ett eget exemplar av boken och en papperskopia för att kunna göra egna anteckningar direkt i texten. GRUPP A (Läs mer…) Alla elever har ett eget exemplar av boken. EXTRA (Läs mer…) Vid behov har några elever fått med sig en bok hem. Kommentarer: Kommentarer och tankar före, under och efter arbetet.
4 Keys to Designing the Classroom of the Future -- THE Journal Classroom Design | Feature Page 3 of 3 4 Keys to Designing the Classroom of the Future When it comes to PD, LaMaster cautioned administrators against the assumption that younger teachers will pick up all the tech tools they need on their own. "Some people think that anyone under the age of 26 magically knows how to use all this stuff, and use it in an interesting manner, but that has not been my experience," she said. Curriculum Comes First For Klein, the classroom of the future is only worth creating if it supports the fundamental mission of teaching students. But the story has a happy ending. Klein concluded, "Ultimately, you really need to think about the design and layout of your space and how that can support your curriculum, Then you can start thinking about how to outfit your infrastructure and what devices you might need to enhance the curriculum."

London's first official tube map showing how long it takes to walk between stops There have been a few attempts at drawing up walking maps of London Underground. Now TfL has drawn up an official map showing the time taken to walk between tube stops – and in some cases it’s actually quicker to walk. For example, Leicester Square to Covent Garden takes just four minutes, Charing Cross to Embankment takes three minutes, and Cannon Street to Mansion House takes four minutes. A spokesman told the Evening Standard: ‘What we have seen is that people are desperate for this sort of thing, so we have created it. MORE: ‘Car thief’ cuts convertible Porsche roof to try and nick it Gordon Innes of London & Partners, which promotes the capital, added: ‘The new Walking Tube map is a great new resource for visitors to London. ‘Although the Tube is the most used transport method by visitors in London, stations for many of our top attractions are within walking distance of each other.

Moral and Character Development Citation: Huitt, W. (2004). Moral and character development. Educational Psychology Interactive. Valdosta, GA: Valdosta State University. A. Introduction As previously stated in the section related to desired student outcomes (Huitt, 1997a), in my opinion there are three major issues in the education of young people today. The following two definitions provide examples of a normative view of character: "engaging in morally relevant conduct or words, or refraining from certain conduct or words" (Wynne & Walberg, 1984); "a complex set of relatively persistent qualities of the individual person, and generally has a positive connotation when used in discussions of moral education" (Pritchard, 1988). In general, character, good or bad, is considered to be observable in one's conduct (Walberg & Wynne, 1989). Character Education in the United States In terms of defining good character, educators stated that this should include developing: Impacting Moral and Character Development Hyde school.

SaraBruun Smarta citat – #mellanstadiebloggen [ENGELSKA] Dessa citat är underbara och gjorda för att färgläggas. Men de kan också bli en rolig uppgift i skolan, till exempel vid läsårets start. Förslag på arbetsgång: Låt eleverna välja ett citat som de tycker om. Skriv ut några som du har valt eller låt eleverna gå in på hemsidan och välja själva.Säg att citaten ska hängas upp och att eleverna därför ska färglägga dem det finaste de kan (visa gärna en matris för att konkretisera olika kvalitativa nivåer).Om eleverna har fått välja citat fritt är det viktigt att gå runt medan de färglägger och stämma av att de verkligen har förstått innebörden av citatet. Har du däremot valt ut ett antal så kan ni prata om citaten i helklass innan själva övningen.När eleverna sedan är klara får de skriva en kort text och (1) förklara vad citatet betyder/ge exempel samt (2) motivera varför de valde just det citatet.Om ni vill kan ni gå igenom användbara ord och fraser innan eleverna skriver.
Character Education: Developing Effective Programs Recently, "What Matters Most: A Newsweek Poll" (Newsweek, 1997) polled 506 parents of children ages 0-3 years and asked them about their most important goal as a parent. The most common response, given by 48% of the parents, was making sure their child grows up to be a moral person. Unfortunately, this goal is becoming harder for parents to achieve. The difficult task of raising moral children is compounded by other forces in the lives of children and parents (e.g. culture, media, peers, etc.) that promote unethical, immoral, and self-focused behavior. In fact, the conduct of United States youth during the last 20-30 years has been marked by two trends: (a) a rise in destructive behavior, and (b) a rise in self-destructive behavior (Wynne & Hess, 1987). Development Theories Kohlberg Lawrence Kohlberg is likely the most well known moral theorist; his name is synonymous with moral development. Kohlberg's model is compiled of three hierarchical levels, each containing two stages. Selman Rest
Longhill High Schoolboys wore skirts after being told PE shorts were not uniform A group of teenage boys went to school wearing skirts in protest at a uniform policy forbidding them from wearing shorts during the summer. The year 9 pupils chose to wear a skirt after they were punished for wearing shorts on the hottest day of the year so far. As a result Michael Parker, Kodi Ayling, George Boyland and Jesse Stringer, all 14, chose cooler clothing which is part of the official uniform - a pleated navy skirt. George, Jesse, Kodi and Michael, all 14, chose cooler clothing which is part of the official uniform - a pleated navy skirt Despite not being allowed to wear the school's branded shorts, the boys were allowed to wear skirts which are part of the agreed school uniform. The students at Longhill High School in Brighton, East Sussex, donned the skirts in protest of the school's decision to punish boys who wore school-issued PE shorts rather than trousers on Tuesday. His mother Angela, added: 'We're fully in support of the boys. Loaded: 0% Progress: 0% MinimizeExpandClose
Sara Bruuns klassrum Silent viewing – att lära ut språklig interaktion Att träna språklig interaktion utan att eleverna känner att det blir tvunget är svårt många gånger. Ett sätt att få igång kommunikationen är genom sk silent viewing. Det är filmklipp utan ljud som man tittar på och sedan kan man: Förutspå – om man tittar på en del av sekvensen och sedan gissar vad som ska komma härnäst.Ordlistor – man skriver ner ord som rör sekvensen och sedan återberättar historien.Eleverna kan skriva dialogerna och läsa in och göra en text/tal till sekvensen.Eleverna kan skriva om historien med ett annat slut och sedan dela med varandra.I grupper kan en elev titta på filmen och sen återberätta för de andra som sitter med ryggen mot – en sk bakdörr.Eleverna kan fylla i ord på vissa ställen där ljudet är avstängt – sk cloze listening. Det går ju givetvis bra att bara stänga av ljudet på vilken filmsekvens som helst. Förslag på tysta filmklipp att använda är:
