week 6

Week 6 - five tools I would like to use in class

1. http://www.spellingcity.com/  proposes so many learning activities and game. You can use it for all your classes from 2nd grade to 12th grade. It has games with initial sound (looking for words starting with the same letter) with final sound, with syllables, ... The best thing is that towards spelling, this site develops the listening skills and prununciation because you can hear the words.

Spelling match game. It is a very friendysite you first choose a rade then a unit. You can time your game or not. You can match words with the same sound but also you can match the beginning of a word and the end of the worls. It develops your vocubalary. I tried grade 8 and it wasn't so easy but I really enjoyed it. 

3.   http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/games/story-maker  - Even students from the foundation level can create their own story. because they have picture a dictionary to choose from. Try it  You will feel like an author

4.    http://storybird.com/ has a library on line. You can read books - for free. to help you choose, you have a book summary, you have the number of pages and because you're on the computer you can easily check a word you don't know on any dictionary on line.

5.     https://www.fodey.com/generators/newspaper/snippet.asp - This site is cute. If you want to impress your students, publish their story, their names or the task you want to give them.

week 4

Hi, I spent a lot of time on this site: http://funnytimes.com/?site_section=cartoon-treasury&s=school#.UTe4JNZ7L84 . I read a lot of comics and it was fun. This site is friendly because the cartoons are organised in themes and you can even create your own cartoon.
I thought of bringing a new cartoon to my class every week. The students will expect it and it will develop their motivation to the language, trying to read and understand.
