Pga ändrad tjänst…

…så kommer denna sida nu att läggas på is. Jag hade en tanke att radera allt innehåll, men kanske är det så att det kan finnas lärare och/eller elever som finner material från sidan användbart. Det är fritt fram att använda det man vill, men några nya uppdateringar kommer med största sannolikhet inte att göras.

Titta istället gärna in på mina andra bloggar:

Hackschooling – a summary!

Hi kids! Thought I was just going to make a short summary of all the great work you presented during Hackschooling. You did so many fun and interesting presentations, and your topics were filled with inspiration! As with everything else in life, everything can´t fit everyone. Some of you found it difficult to work at home and some of you could have spent your time more wisely during class. I hope that when you evaluate your work, you think of what you can improve during next course.

Both Billan and I were so impressed with your imagination and all the skills you showed us during your presentations! It was a mix of fantastic topics – for example – how many of you knew that Fatema is going to be a designer, Phoung has a dream to become a doctor and help people in her native country, Ted loves to play American Football, Jakob is a Daredevil on the motorcross and that Linnea is a great actress? We all knew that Kaltrina was a Belieber – didn´t we ? 😉 Thanks for sharing your dreams – and remember – never stop BELIEVING!

Jakob in action!

Linnea – remember your teachers when you are famous! We would like to go to the Oscar Award – me and Billan 😉

Speaking anxiety – tips how to deal with it!

2. Read the text that you have written to your tutorial group and listen to your friends while they present their texts.

3. Discuss in your tutorial group – if you could only choose one of the tips, which one would you choose? Which tip is, you think, the best one to give to a nervous speaker? Why? Motivate your choice!

4. Present your thoughts to the rest of the class!

Hackschooling

Before next lesson:

1. Watch the flipp (as many times as you want to). Remember that it is ok to stop, rewind and repeat

2. Write down 2 thoughts that came up while watching the flipp. Something you thought was good, or something you disagreed upon. Perhaps something that sounded interesting or something you would like to try for yourself. Take them with you to class next lesson.

3. Write down one question you want to know more about. Take it with you to class next lesson.

What do you want to become when you grow up?

Well, that is not an easy question to answer. When 13 year-old Logan LaPlante grows up, he wants to be happy and healthy. I think that is the best answer you can give! We take it for granted that if you go to school, get an education, get a good job, get married you automatically become happy. But what if we have to take our happiness in our own hands? What makes YOU happy? How can school be  a part of you growing up and become a happy adult?

Logan LaPlante talks about Hackschooling. His mother took him out from school and teaches him at home – but he points out that Hackschooling is something you can do just as easily in your school! It is about being motivated. About working with all different kind of subjects from your points of interest. He says that “once you are motivated to learn something you can get a lot done – in a short amount of time!”

What do YOU want to become when you grow up? I´m grown up – and you know what- I´m Happy because every day I do the things that I love the most – teaching and meeting young people in school.

So what do you say? Is it time that we start Hackschooling our English lessons? What are you interested in? What gets YOU motivated and how can you improve your skills in English when working with this?

I want to know your opinions on this idéa – how can you bring your interests  to English class, increase your motivation and enhance your skills in English? Let´s write down our thoughts and then share them to eachother in class next week!  🙂

How to become a Canadian Citizen!

Russel Peter is a Canadian comedian and actor. He was born in Toronto. This is a short flipp from one of his stand-up shows. He talks about “How to become a Canadian Citizen”, hope you enjoy it 🙂

While watching the flipp try to answer the following questions:

1. Which country is Russel Peters parents from?

2. What is his dad going to do to show their neighbors they are real Canadians?

3. Explain what “white food” is, according to Russels dad.

4. What is the problem with the rice?

After watching the flipp:

Write down a list of things that YOU think makes you  a typical “Swedish citizen”! What do you think is typical for Swedes? Food? Traditions? How we look? How we act? I´m sure you can think of a many things! And if you recently came to Sweden but were  born in another country- what did you know about Sweden and Swedes before you moved here?  

You are going to present it to your classmates on friday!

Good Luck 🙂
