Lesson Plans on Italy for Preschool - 0 views

  •  
    Using preschool Italy lessons opens up a whole new world to younger children. This lesson will help them to understand where Italy is on a map and what it looks like, as well as what colors are in the Italian flag. We take a look at learning basic Italian words, that you can use in the classroom, or that the children can use to impress their parents at home - ciao mamma! A preschool lesson plan on Italy, would be incomplete without covering the culture of food in Italy. Italian food is popular among young children, and they are likely to be familiar with many of the food already. An interactive activity on making fresh pasta, or a pizza decorated as the Italian flag, is a good way to ensure the children know what goes into making authentic Italian food. How to assess the children's progress and abilities using this lesson plan is also covered, as well as extension activities on Italian art and architecture - try making a model of the leaning tower or Pisa, or create their own Mona Lisa painting.

Bring the fun home with this do-it-yourself version that sneaks in some math practice. This is a carnival game "ring toss", you can use either addition and subtraction or multiplication. Each child throws two rings and can add the two numbers to see who has the closet to fifty and reward the winner with a prize.

Violence in Schools: Causes and Solutions - 0 views

  •  
    "The problem with violence in all aspects of people's lives has never taken so devastating measures as we witness today. Children are faced with aggression on the streets, in their homes, and in the cartoons they watch. This learnt behavior has become an integral part of their lives, but its motives and manifestations at schools often seem inconceivable. Despite the prevailing presence of brutal behavior among children, the problem of violence and bullying is not nearly elaborated as well as it should be."

Formal style, proper grammar and good spelling ARE important in student posts and comme... - 1 views

  • Currently I correct most of my student’s spelling and grammar when I approve their comments
  • I’d think it would be a different matter with older children.
  • If the blog is of academic nature and is going to be read by other students/parents/teachers, then it’s our job to show them why conventions like spelling and grammar matter.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • Again, it’s our job to show students how a writer’s audience affects how they write.
  • Speaking for all the poor writers out there, having someone always on my back about my grammar would put an end to my writing–it did for 27 years–from the time I graduated from college to the time I started blogging. So for me and all the other poor writers out there like me, would you rather we just stop writing? or is our voice valuable enough that maybe, just maybe, you could look past out inability to use proper grammar.
  • I feel that correcting everything, all the time, would kill their enthusiasm for using and experimenting with the language.
  • I was reading a grade 1 teacher’s blog, and the teacher left the childrens’ posts as is, but following each, put the correct form in parentheses. This both keeps the sense of ownership for the student, but allows for readers to understand the message clearly
  • I do not correct comments for a few reasons. First, they can be too numerous at times. Secondly, if I always do the editing work for them then students will never do it themselves. Third, I have several reluctant writers who never get a word down on paper but will make an effort if they get to write on our blogs.
  • am having students occasionally reflect on their comments and set/review goals for future comments.
  • I think that if they saw a good conversation going on in the comments (maybe on another classroom’s blog) they may get the idea that comments are as important, if not more important than the post.
  • Student edited, teacher directed vs. teacher corrected. In this instance, student age is an important consideration. Revising and editing are part of the writing process, so I require it of my middle schoolers. I also rely on peer review and peer editing.
  • I would appreciate teachers correcting posts and comments. It might be slightly embarrassing if it is done through comments, but maybe devoting a part of class every week to go over things that the teacher has found looking through posts and comments could improve the student’s grammar skills.
  • I like to balance between writing for an audience who is expecting readable text and the writing abilities of the grade or age level blogging. It also changes if the post is a class assignment with expectations described on a rubric as opposed to a free choice writing post.
  • BTW – peer editing is one way to check for spelling and convention errors and fix them.
