Kickstarta läsåret med strategier - Mia Smith Ingen slöjdlärare skulle beordra eleverna att såga utan att först gå igenom hur man använder sågen på bästa sätt, eller beordra eleverna att använda symaskinen utan att först lära eleverna hur man hanterar alla spakar och rattar. I språkundervisningen har vi inga sågar eller symaskiner, men vi använder verktyg. Och även vi måste lära eleverna att använda verktygen. De verktyg jag tänker på är våra språkliga strategier. Språkliga strategier har vi undervisat länge, och för den som vill födjupa sig vill jag rekommendera Lena Börjessons text Om strategier i engelska och moderna språk från Skolverket.

Making the right choices: ‘Lean On Me’ – On the same page Every word in the song “Lean On Me” by Bill Withers has been written into a grid with some distractors. Starting in the upper left corner, students complete the lyrics choosing one of the words available right next to the last word in any direction and using each square only once. To guide them through the process, the writing worksheet provides students with a few words in each line, including the first ones, which are also capitalised in the grid for easier reference. You may want to model and play the first two lines of the song so that the students can understand the procedure. Students will be practising a number of skills as they make their choices. Before listening to the song and checking the lyrics, students are asked to write down and share what they think the last line of the song is, adding an extra purpose to the listening task.
