English 9A & 9B, TED talks!

lararemarianne Class 9A English, Class 9B English, TED Talks , , ,

It is time! Time to voice your opinion about something or tell your experience of something! Anything. You get to choose what to tell the world about.

First of all we will we listen to some TED talks in class, held by fifth graders in Årstaskolan – they are something else … Even live broadcast at the time. Like we aim to do it. Then we will watch one american girl and one american boy when they hold their TED talks. Interesting!

The first assignment on our path to your own TED talk is to find two TED talks you want your friends to watch and benefit from. When you have found them – you write about them. In Dropbox you have a document that tells you how it is supposed do be done. The document you write is then graded. Of course you will listen to your friends two recommended talks and respond! We will get back to that part.

We are working in Blendspace.com where we have a lesson (Jamie Oliver) that tells you what to do and in what order. Yesterday, (Thursday January 8) every student started a profile there. Just follow the instructions in the lesson in Blendspace.

Besök från Brighton på Vistaskolan idag

lararemarianne Okategoriserade , ,

Idag har vi haft besök av en lärare, Sophie, från England, närmare bestämt från Brighton. Sophie höll en lektion om kommunikation mellan människor. Spännande att få lyssna till brittisk engelska och från en lärare som inte ens kan prata svenska. Eleverna tycktes gilla vad hon gjorde och hängde med fantastiskt väl i uppgifterna.

Men, så är ni också otroligt bra på engelska!
