Collaborative Writing Activities - The Secondary English Coffee Shop A few years ago I became a part-time student and enrolled in a master's course called Writing Instruction. The professor took a unique approach by having us, a group of English teachers, write our own poetry and fiction. It was an eye-opener. I realized that somewhere between high school and my first teaching job, I forgot the lonely and uneasy feeling of staring at a blank page, not knowing where to begin. When the professor allowed us to work with another teacher on the next writing piece, there was a sense of comfort in that I had someone to discuss, collaborate, and share ideas with. Collaborative writing not only broke down my reserve and hesitation, but also allowed me to foster a relationship of trust and partnership with my co-author. Snowball writing is an activity that your middle and high school students will always remember. How It Works: - One student starts the writing process for a timed period decided by the teacher. This process is repeated as needed. How it works:

Fonetik med iPad och dator I veckan har mina 9or för första gången fått möta fonetisk skrift. Vissa lärare arbetar väldigt mycket med det, själv berör jag det knappt alls i varken tyska eller engelska. När jag undervisade i franska lade jag mer energi på det av den enkla anledningen att stavningen och uttalet skiljer sig så markant åt i franska språket. De här skillnaderna mellan uttal och skrift finns ju också i engelskan, men då eleverna hör så mycket engelska i sin vardag blir behovet inte lika tydligt. Fonetik nämns inte i kursplanerna för engelska och moderna språk i Lgr11, men i det centrala innehållet finns en punkt som lyder "Språkliga företeelser för att förtydliga, variera och berika kommunikationen som ut- tal, intonation och fasta språkliga uttryck, grammatiska strukturer och satsbyggnad." Jag introducerade ämnet med en kort film om uttal från BBC. När de hade fått ungefärlig koll på hur man skulle läsa ut dem gick de vidare till kartan med ljuden, där de själva fick klicka fram ljud.
