Creative use of glogster

I have a list of blogs I follow. One of them is Lifefeast by Ana María Menezes, it is full of ideas and excellent posts. She mentions some glogsters, created by a Bulgarian teacher,which are really worth seeing. She presents vocabulary lists or grammar items in a very creative way using glogsters.

This one is about food:





Another one about the farm:http://sunrise651.edu.glogster.com/on-the-farm/

Halloween

October 31st is Halloween.

I will share with you some sites
http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/en/category/language-focus/vocab-halloween-0

A quiz.
you can also watch this webcast done by an American teacher, a friend of mine, for you. You will learn about candies sold in the United States for Halloween



and while students watch the webcast they can answer:

how many candies does she mention?

which do you like best?

Are any of them sold in Argentina?



Students can also have fun with a song

with a quiz:

Or play games

You can ask students to make glogs An idea would be to make simple glogs with this application where they will post and write some simple sentences and add Halloween games, this way they will share games and get interested.

Have fun!

Top sites

I've been asked to choose good sites for Teaching English and to make a " tutorial" of them.

I'm starting by mentioning three sites which are very useful.

http://recursostic.educacion.es/primaria/hello/web/portada.html is an excellent site, with many activities. Children will enjoy it for sure.

this is the tutorial

Another site which is worth visiting is Language guide. And here you can find a simple guide.

LearnEnglishkids is the site developed by the British Council for children. It's user friendly, however, some of the activities might be too difficult for our students at school.
