    We have been discussing ESL classes and how teachers are not prepared for classrooms with students who do not speak any english. This blog gives advice and helpful resources for teachers.

    This is a blog that gives new updates in grammar, defining rhetorical devices, dictionaries and the like. It's a good place to look if you have a random question about grammar or what is happening in the English language today.

    If you haven't taken this class yet, I highly recommend it. I am in the class right now, and I have already gained more valuable information and experience related to teaching English than any class I have taken yet. If you can, take it with Kate Vieira.

    This page offers validation for students' partaking in AP level courses in high school for fiscal reasons. What I find interesting is the process that some schools have for putting kids into AP classes-is this fair? It's definitely something to think about, especially since it glosses over other merits to AP level classes, such as critical thinking.

    This blog is a high school English teacher that likes to post about novels usually in the chick novel, romantic, youth categories that she feels high school students would appreciate. Its a good site to look at if you are wanting to teach your kids to free read outside of class a book that is worth while

    I think that even though we are planning to be english teachers it is still so important to stay up-to-date with current political issues and if possible link them to the materials we study in class.

    This is a YouTube video that was a project for a high school public speaking class. It's a good example of how we can use technology to allow our students to use a little creativity and have a little fun with their assignments. Also, many of us may be asked to teach a speech class at the school where we are hired!

    I watched this clip of the Beatles performing the play within a play, 'Pyramus and Thisbe' from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in a class and found it not only extremely amusing but also educational. Their interpretation can be seen as a credible imitation of the Mechanicals' performance or simply as entertainment in honor of Shakespeare-either way, it provokes discussion!

    A link to the TED video about the team-building exercise we did in class. In case you want to use this in a future classroom or at a workshop, you might want to keep this.

    We all want to be teachers, but I think this helps us look at what kind of teachers we want to be. I know I don't want to be another bland, boring teacher who just goes by the books. Ken Robinson helps us see what schools do stop stop us reaching our full potential and why we need more creativity and arts - things that students will be passionate about in class - in the classroom.

    A TED talk (because that's more or less all I'll be posting) about the status of creativity in early education, and the implications for all levels of education (and beyond).
  • Kimberly Tracewski on 19 Oct 10
     
    Ken Robinson describes how schools are killing creativity and most importantly highlights why it is so important in our futures. He urges us to maintain creativity in our curriculum so English teachers, please do your part to keep it.

    This is a great example of a media project that student's could do on a variety of authors. They could put it together using power point and showing it to the class could be beneficial for all students when reading texts by that particular author.

    I think this is a good website that teachers and students to choose different topics to journal. I think students should write everyday, and with the variety of topics, students can avoid writer's block.
