Rapping for Shelly – Before Reading Activity
Da diese neue Lektüre besonders beliebt ist, habe ich jetzt dafür eine neue ‘Activity’ ausgedacht, und zwar eine ‘Before Reading Activity’ von der Creative-Writing Art. Dadurch werden die Schüler(innen) schon im voraus auf die Thematik und Sprache der Geschichte eingestellt und die Geschichte zugänglicher gemacht.

Oil Spill Rap
Oil Spill Rap: auch wenn BP es endlich geschafft hat, das leckende Öl zu stoppen, werden die schlimmen Folgen dieser Katastrophe auf Jahre hinaus die Umwelt belasten.
Grund genug, um über das von BP verursachte Desaster nachzudenken. Oil Spill Rap bietet einen leichten aber zum Nachdenken provozierenden Zugang zu dieser Problematik.

SUPERFOX
Superfox - ein englisches Theaterstück
SUPERFOX ist ein englisches Theaterstück frei nach dem beliebten Märchen ‘Der Goldene Vogel’ der Gebrüder Grimm. Es hat eine breite Palette an Rollen, darunter den schlauen Fuchs (Superfox) sowie den strengen König, seinen jüngsten, gutherzigen Sohn und die schöne Prinzessin – genug Rollen für alle Schüler(innen) in der Klasse. Es ist eine Geschichte mit viel Action und Humor aber auch – wie das mit Märchen üblich ist – voller Lebensweisheit. Mit Regie-Anweisungen und Vokabular.

Improve your English!
Here’s a very funny video with a pedagogically relevant message.
I’ve created some group activities to turn this short video into a one- or two-lesson project.

WORKSHEET: IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH!
In groups of three (one student for each of the three roles)
1-watch the video and practice the scene
2-think up a scene for a similar video – with dialogue that illustrates the importance of improving your English.
3-perform both scenes for the class.
Frankfurter Buchmesse
Davenport Stories auf der Frankfurter Buchmesse
You won’t see us in these videos but we were there – somewhere else. Whatever, I’ve chosen two videos about the fair. The first is to give you an idea of the upbeat atmosphere and the XXL dimensions of the book fair. In the second, the ‘Dummfrager’ pokes fun at some of the would-be experts there. I like that. The fair was an exciting event, a must not only for booklovers, but also for those who prefer the newer media forms.
In diesem Jahr findet die Frankfurter Buchmesse vom 14. bis 18. Oktober statt. Ehrengast ist China. Die ersten drei Messetage sind dem Fachpublikum vorbehalten. Privatbesucher heißen wir am Wochenende – am 17. und 18. Oktober – herzlich willkommen.
Paul asks: Classroom Discipline
How do you deal with troublemakers in the classroom? Here’s a guide for dealing with discipline problems (adapted from an article by Melissa Kelly about.com).
1. Begin each lesson with a positive attitude and high expectations. If you begin negatively, expecting some of your students to misbehave, they will probably do so.
2. Be well prepared for your lessons. Make sure you have all your materials at hand.
3. Maintain a smooth flow, keeping the delays between transitions (e.g. from group discussion to individual work) to a minimum. Have your worksheets ready to go or your assignment already written on the board. Slow transitions are welcome opportunities for those who wish to disrupt the lesson.
4. Watch your students as they enter class, looking for signs of possible problems before class even begins.
5. Try to use humor to defuse potentially difficult situations before they grow worse.
6. If a student becomes verbally confrontational with you, remain calm and remove them from the situation as quickly as possible. Do not get into yelling matches with your students. There will always be a winner and a loser, which sets up a power struggle that could continue throughout the year.
7. Keep a record of major disciplinary issues that happen in your lessons. This can be particularly useful should the school consider taking disciplinary action against a student or get involved in a law suit.
8. Leave classroom management and disruption problems behind you at the end of the school day. Give yourself time to recharge your batteries before coming back to another day of teaching.
9. Try to be as consistent and fair as possible. If you are seen as inconsistent or unfair, you will lose repect and disruptions will probably increase.
10. Start the year strictly so that students see that you are willing and able to do what it takes to keep your classroom under control. You can always become less strict as the year goes on.
(The other way around – from ‘easy’ to strict – doesn’t work well.)
What do you think of these tips? Which do you consider particularly helpful? Do you have any others you think should be added to the list?
