Life on Scilly – pedagogfredrik Den här serien från UR är helt underbar. I sex avsnitt får vi följa ungdomarna Tom, Amy, Harry, Shamus och Jess. Vi får följa deras liv, tankar, drömmar, skola, hobbies och mycket annat från deras liv på de vacka Scillyöarna utanför Englands sydvästkust. Varje avsnitt är ca 15 minuter och man kan välja om man vill ha svensk, engelsk, eller ingen text. Jag har använt den här serien till åk 6, 7, 8 och 9. Eleverna får lyssna på engelsktalande ungdomarEleverna får kännedom/kunskaper om företeelser och sammanhang i ett område där engelskan talas som modersmålEleverna kan känna igen egna tankar och känslorDet finns färdigt arbetsmaterial med varierat innehåll, inkl lärarhandledningMaterialet är lätt att anpassa till den unika elevgrupp man för tillfället harDet är lätt att jobba digitalt med arbetsmaterialetDet finns hörförståelseuppgifter till varje avsnitt På mitt förra jobb körde jag den här serien i min specialundervisning jag hade med elever i åk 7-9. Where is it? How big is it?
EDUCATION in ENGLAND British children are required by law to have an education until they are 16 years old. Education is compulsory, but school is not,children are not required to attend school. They could be educated at home. Full-time education is compulsory for all children aged between 5 and 16 (inclusive) across England. About 94 per cent of pupils in England, and the rest of the UK, receive free education from public funds, while 6 per cent attend independent fee paying schools or homeschooling. (Homeschooling numbers uncertain - BBC report) All government-run schools, state schools, follow the same National Curriculum. The school year runs from September to July and is 39 weeks long. For many areas the year is divided into six terms: September to October October to December January to February February to March April to May June to July (Some counties in England still follow the traditional three terms a year.) The main school holidays are: Christmas- 2 weeks Spring - 2 weeks Summer - 6 weeks

Eleverna stöter ofta på dessa i filmer och tv-serier, och att ge dem ordentlig förförståelse är ett bra sätt att koppla ihop skolengelskan med fritidsengelskan, eller den extramurala engelskan som den också kallas. Ett av mina favoritländer är Irland, och då är St. Patrick’s Day en tacksam utgångspunkt. Jag brukar ibland ta med mig min egen tin whistle och spela en jig för eleverna, men om ni inte själva spelar tin whistle kan ni ta er an ämnet på andra sätt. Som introduktion har jag skapat en presentation i prezi kring ämnet, lagom till St. I presentationen har jag lagt in två korta filmklipp. Som en enkel avslutning har jag lånat en färdig Kahoot.
