YouTube "Read Aloud" Book Videos for Kids Over the years I have read my four children many, many books, most often at bedtime, and with as many funny voices for the characters as I could provide. As much as I enjoyed the time for family bonding and for helping the kids settle down for the night, research has shown that having stories read to children has many educational benefits as well. Reading stories out loud to children: Provides them with a model of fluent reading.Allows them to consume content above their reading level (since they can listen at a higher level than they can read).Shows them the connection between the written word and its meaning.Teaches them the narrative structure of a story or book.Helps develop a love of stories, books, and reading that can carry on into the rest of their lives.

40 Intriguing Photos to Make Students Think Update, Oct. 4, 2020: We have published a sequel to this post with 40 more intriguing photographs. After combing through four years of images from our popular What’s Going On in This Picture? feature, we selected 40 photographs to highlight in this slide show. Many of these are our most commented-on images — some attracting nearly a thousand student comments. Others are simply our favorites. We invite teachers and students to use this bank of 40 intriguing images, all stripped of their captions or context, to practice visual thinking and close reading skills by holding a “What’s Going On in This Picture?” Or, use any of the ideas we suggest in this lesson plan on using our new Picture Prompt feature and other Times images to get students writing, thinking, speaking and listening. We started this feature during the 2012-13 school year with the simple idea of taking interesting photos from The Times and asking students to look closely and describe what they see. • What more can you find?
What is MediaWise? - Poynter MediaWise is a groundbreaking digital literacy project that engages with teenagers both online and in school. The mission of the project is to teach 1 million teenagers — half from underserved communities — how to sort fact from fiction on the internet by 2020. Will you help us spread facts, not falsehoods? Support MediaWise today. While teens are generally regarded as digitally savvy, research from our partners at Stanford History Education Group (SHEG) shows that the vast majority of teenagers have trouble navigating digital information — whether it’s viral hoaxes on Instagram, misinformation campaigns on Facebook, or sponsored content on news websites. MediaWise addresses these issues with new curriculum to be deployed in fall 2019, in-person events at schools nationwide and fact-checking content and outreach via social media. >>Contact mwtips@poynter.org to bring MediaWise to your school.

ELLLO - English Listening Lesson Library Online But what did the British really do? · Lärarnas Riksförbund Upplägg För att utmana mina elever valde jag att väva ihop dessa bitar till ett projekt om imperialismen. Upplägget är: Hitta information om hur ett land påverkades av britternas ankomst.Skriva en text utifrån anteckningarna.Bearbeta texten.Jämföra det man hittat med kamrater som arbetat med samma land samt diskutera källor.Presentera landets situation i grupp inför klassen. Informationssökning - med stöttning och ramar Det är många som suckar att de redan vet hur man googlar saker, men det jag märker är att eleverna i själva verket har en hel del problem här. Många av mina eleverna gillar att kopiera text direkt och just därför är jag lite hård och kräver att de antecknar för hand. Jag lottade ut länder bland eleverna och de fick ett papper med instruktioner för sökningen . Inför informationssökandet diskuterade vi de olika aspekterna av källkritik. När eleverna väl var igång försökte jag få lite koll på vilka sidor de valde att använda. Skrivandet - en Five paragraph essay .
Active Listening: Using Times Videos, Podcasts and Articles to Practice a Key Skill Listening is a skill that we’re in danger of losing in a world of digital distraction and information overload, writes Seth S. Horowitz in “The Science and Art of Listening.” He continues: And yet we dare not lose it. Research shows that being a good listener can make you more influential and a better leader. And, of course, listening — along with speaking, reading and writing — is one of four key domains in learning any language, and one of the central skills in the Common Core State Standards. How much emphasis do you put on the skill of listening in your classroom? In this lesson, we suggest some ways for students to become aware of their own listening processes and strategies, then consciously use them to learn — all with the help of New York Times resources. The Times has a wealth of resources that can be used in all the ideas suggested in this post. “The Daily” Times Video This page has a huge selection of short films on various topics.

This is a resource that can help students when starting the writing process. This website has many pictures that can be shown to students when starting to write. Many students find it hard to come up with a topic or something to write about when given freedom, so showing students one of these images and then getting them to explain and tell a story of what is happening may be helpful. This is a useful resource to help students start the writing process by giving them a visual prompt. by mschalmers Nov 9
