"Each week, we will be interviewing people who are truly inspiring. They come from all over the world, and have overcome obstacles that make life that much harder. Their stories are inspirational, and allow us to be grateful for what we have in life.
"Many people have come to see disease as a gift in their lives. Often, they learn that they are more than their disease, and once freed by that certainty they go on to live the rest of the story."
This week, we interviewed Chloe Cohen. A truly inspiring woman who has been dealing with Multiple Sclerosis for many years. Chloe's inner strength and determination to help her deal with MS allows us to realize that their is hope for everyone. I feel honored to be able to share Chloe's story with everyone, and I hope it gives you as much enjoyment as it has given to me. Women like Chloe are hard to come by. Too many of us give up before we even try, especially, when suffering from a disease such as MS. Chloe's openness and willingness to share her story with all of us is amazing."
"On
peut pas vraiment dire qu'on choisit son lieu de naissance
Ce que vont
découvrir petit à petit les cinq sens
Moi, un jour mes parents ont posé leurs
valises, alors voilà
Ce sont ces trottoirs qu'ont vu mes premiers
pas
Je viens de là où les mecs traînent en bande pour tromper
l'ennui
Je viens de là où, en bas, ça joue au foot au milieu de la nuit
Je
viens de là où on fait attention à la marque de ses textiles
Et même si on
les achète au marché, on plaisante pas avec le style
Je viens de là où le
langage est en permanente évolution
Verlan, rebeu, argot, gros processus de
création
Chez nous, les chercheurs, les linguistes viennent prendre des
rendez-vous
On n'a pas tout le temps le même dictionnaire mais on a plus de
mots que vous
Je viens de là où les jeunes ont tous une maîtrise de
vannes
Un D.E.A. de chambrettes, une répartie jamais en panne
Intelligence
de la rue, de la démerde ou du quotidien
Appelle ça comme tu veux mais pour
nous carotter, tiens-toi bien
On jure sur la tête de sa mère à l'âge de neuf
ans
On a l'insulte facile mais un vocabulaire innovant
Je viens de là
où, dans les premières soirées, ça danse déjà le break
Je viens de là où nos
premiers rendez-vous se passent autour d'un grec
Je viens de là où on aime le
rap, cette musique qui transpire
Qui sent le vrai, qui transmet, qui
témoigne, qui respire
Je viens de là où y a du gros son et pas mal de rimes
amères
Je viens de là où ça choque personne qu'un groupe s'appelle "Nique Ta
Mère"
Je viens de là et je kiffe ça, malgré tout ce qu'on en pense
A
chacun son territoire, à chacun sa France
Si j' rends hommage à ces lieux, à
chaque expiration
C'est qu' c'est ici qu' j'ai puisé toute mon
inspiration
Je viens de là et je kiffe ça, malgré tout ce qu'on en
pense
A chacun son territoire, à chacun sa France
Si j' rends hommage à
ces lieux, à chaque expiration

"Building a rich vocabulary, across the curriculum, is one of the main aims for most teachers. Not only does a rich vocabulary help to create strong writing skills, but also can help with improving access to all areas of the curriculum.
In his book, Andrew Jennings explains why vocabulary should be a focus in your classroom, providing resources and inspiration to help optimise vocabulary learning. Resources include a focus on SPaG facts, key vocab words that support various popular primary topics, an etymology section to inspire pupils, and looking at various grammatical features that can help build a repertoire of rich vocabulary. Throughout, the book provides other resources that can be copied for classroom use, or be used to take home to help build vocabulary skills away from the school setting."

This is an awesome YouTube channel by Sylvia Duckworth. I would use her Chansons au Powerpoint to pre-teach vocabulary and then reinforce the learning with the music/PowerPoint combination. Other videos offer a plethora of topics that can be used in your classroom. Her use of GoAnimate inspires me to have my students create similar projects to tell stories.
Folk music in many European languages http://folkdc.eu/
The Digital Children's Folksongs for Language and Cultural Learning (Folk DC) project is a European Union project designed to motivate young language learners to engage with language learning through using Folk songs, and activities around the songs.
The songs are in 10 European languages (Czech, Danish, English, Finnish, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Turkish). The project will be producing a complete package for schools (Autonomous Teacher Training Tool kit - ATTT) so that schools all over Europe can take part in the project.
The project culminates in a simultaneous, live concert in 5 countries, streamed over the Internet to audiences all over Europe. School choirs will sing folk songs in non-native languages that will be streamed to the other concert venues and also made available to an Internet audience.
Schools can take part in this project by:
Using the resources produced by the project
Suggesting your own language, culture and music activities, inspired by the project
Watching the live concert (at the venue or online) - see how you can join
Adding folk songs of your language - see the project Wiki
You can ask more information about how you can take part here.
The project will introduce an understanding of the number, richness and culture of other languages when children start to learn a foreign language and begin to understand the meaning of additional languages. It will engage children in fascinating and engaging activities that will resonate in to the future and answer the need for materials that can directly engage and motivate children to enjoy their learning.
