Allmänt engelska Vill du läsa en dikt så kan du läsa denna dikt: Allt jag verkligen behövde kunna, lärde jag mig på dagis Det mesta om det jag verkligen behöver kunna om hur jag ska leva och vad jag ska göra och hur jag ska umgås, det lärde jag mig redan på dagis. Visheten fanns inte där uppe på de akademiska höjderna. Den fanns i barnstugans sandlåda.Och vad jag lärt mig är följande: Dela med dig. Var juste. eller så kan du lyssna på denna sång som heter Everybody is free to wear sunscreen. Här finns avslutningstal skrivna av Ann-Marie Körling på svenska.

English Worksheets Fairy Tales Gone Wild: 10 Creative Ways to Teach Fairy Tales Fractured fairy tales are a great way to help students see how story elements—like character, plot, setting—shape the stories we read and write.

Case Files of Detective Nose | Mystery Digest It was a long and almost unbearable drive out into the desert as the hot sun beat down on Detective Nose’s face. As luck would have it, his air conditioning had broken down only two days earlier and despite having all the windows open, the heat was simply excruciating. As the inspector sipped on some of the water that he brought for the trip, the thought that he may have somehow missed his destination was beginning to penetrate his mind. As Nose reached the front door, Jason Ross introduced himself and motioned for the detective to come inside. The most notable item in the cabin could be seen in the middle of the floor; a body, evidently lifeless, sprawled on top of two sleeping bags that were casually laid there. “It was terrible,” Mrs. “You haven’t touched anything in the living room at all?” “I knew that if I touched anything, I might disturb clues, and I really want you to catch the scum that killed my husband!” The reason for the late night call soon became apparent, however.

5 Teaching Practices I'm Kicking to the Curb So many of us teach the way we were taught. We may not even realize we’re doing it. And that means certain practices get passed down year after year without question, methods that are such a normal part of the way we do school, we perpetuate them without realizing there are better alternatives. Today I’m going to roll out five of these for your consideration: five teaching practices used every day that are not backed by research. In many cases, these practices are not only ineffective, they can be downright harmful. A few caveats before I start: First, I have used every single one of these methods. A.K.A.: Round-Robin Reading, Volunteer Reading What it is: A teacher wants her class to read a text—a short story, a chapter in a textbook—so she has each student take a turn reading out loud while the others follow along silently. Why I did it: I used popcorn reading occasionally as a language arts teacher, when we were doing a whole-class novel, to “get through” the text. Learn More: A.K.A.

My Reading Notebooks This year, I revised the materials in my reader's notebooks. I'm using a combo of a binder and a notebook for reading workshop this year, and I'm not 100% happy with it. I thought I would share some of what I've been doing. Let me first tell you how I've been working it. Now, the notebook is more of our workhorse. These are the notebooks I use. When you open the notebook, you will first find this page: I think the note is pretty clear. Next, there are facing pages that have the "thinking stems" we use. These thinking stems are good for helping my friends who have difficulty coming up with something to write. After these pages, I still have two blank pages. The rest of their notebook is filled with notes from our mini-lessons, their independent writing about their reading, and their weekly reading response letter to me. What are you doing with your reading notebooks? What do your friends do with their notebooks? Do you use a rubric? What and how are you assessing them? What's worked for you?

Strukturerat arbete och långsiktig planering är för mig A och O Jag tror att ett strukturerat, långsiktigt arbete ger resultat i längden. En tydlig planering, både läsårsplan och pedagogisk planering, underlättar för mig, barnen och föräldrarna och den får mig att känna mig trygg i min undervisning. Med en långsiktig plan, blir jag inte lika stressad. Under läsårets gång kommer den givetvis att justeras på grund av hur arbetet flyter på och vad vi behöver lägga mer eller mindre fokus på. Läsårsplanering När läsåret börjar gör jag och min kollega, som de flesta gör, en planering över de ämnesområden vi ska arbeta med under året. En röd tråd När jag lägger upp mitt arbete, är det många faktorer som jag försöker ha i åtanke. Genrepedagogik Till varje tema i årskurs 3, planerar jag in minst en genre, så under läsåret ska vi ha gått igenom alla genrer/texttyper igen. Vårt läsår ser i stora drag ut så här i år:SO- Att leva i världen – Kartan Sv- Beskrivande text – länder och/eller djur i olika världsdelar SO – FN och barnkonventionen Sv- Argumenterande text
