5 Tools for Creating Multimedia Quizzes - Comparison Chart I samarbete med Enköpings kommun, och som en del av mitt försteläraruppdrag, arrangerades igår (140423) något som vi kallade för bokinspiration på huvudbiblioteket. Bibliotekarie Andreas Frid presenterade engelska böcker för barn och ungdomar som vi lärare kan arbeta med i undervisningen.

Böckerna utspelar sig ofta i London eller i Londons förorter och är relativt tuffa böcker med mogna ämnen som lockar elever från åk 4 och uppåt.

20 Terrifying Two-Sentence Horror Stories. I Didn't Think It Was Possible Until #5... When The Hair On My Neck Stood Up March 5, 2014 Ever since I was a little kid I've loved sharing ghost stories around a campfire which is probably why I love watching horror movies. And every single time I finish watching one, well, a good one... I kick myself for not picking out a comedy instead. Someone on reddit asked the question, "What is the best horror story you can come up with in two sentences?"

EssayTagger.com - Transform assessment, transform education Teaching Tip: Using Literature Circles Starting about November in first grade, I use Literature Circles as one effective way to teach literature in my classroom. I alternate Fridays for Literature Circles and Internet Inquiries. At our parent meeting in the beginning of the year, I explain both these activities to parents. Here's how I teach using Literature Circles: On a Monday I set out five different sets of books, varying in reading level, but appropriate for first graders. The Activity Sheet has the following assignments:Monday: Have a person at home read the book to you.Tuesday: Have a person read the book to you and talk about the characters in the story.Wednesday: Read the book to a person in your family and talk about the story.Thursday: Read the book to a person in your family and to draw a picture of your favorite part of the book.Friday: Bring the book and your picture back to school. On Literature Circle Friday I am a facilitator. My role is to facilitate by providing supplies and helping with technical needs.
