Superlatives are used to compare more than two things. Superlative sentences usually use the, because there is only one superlative. Superlatives

Masami is the tallest in the class. Yukio is tall, and Jiro is taller, but Masami is the tallest.

Comics Lesson
Melissa Fennell
GRADE LEVEL: SHS 1 or 2 SKILLS: TIME: MATERIALS:

Reading, Listening, Speaking Class Period Sentence Unscramble Worksheet, Comics with dialogue erased

OBJECTIVES:

To increase student interest To encourage students to use English creatively To practice writing

PROCEDURE:
Introduction / Warm up (10 minutes) Ask SS Which comic characters do you like the most? It can be any character. If you know the character, you can make a comment about it (conversation). If you dont, then you can ask the student to teach it to you. Activity one: Sentence Unscramble (7 minutes) Show SS a comic with the text in the speech bubbles erased. Put the comic strip below in the wrong order. SS sort out the order of the sentences. Then, they fill in the speech bubbles. Activity two: Make your own comic (20-30 minutes) SS choose from a selection of different comics (or JTE/ALT could offer only one comic) and fill in the (empty) speech bubbles with their own conversation. Activity three: Presentation (10 minutes) In groups, SS exchange comics and read them Sample exercises First of all, it is important not to throw away the comic sections of newspapers (especially for colored comics) so that one will have an abundance of comic strips to use in class for a variety of activities, such as those described below.

19

Activity 1 The teacher cuts apart the individual panels of a comic strip and puts them in an envelope. The students (either individually or in groups) then are asked to arrange the pieces into the proper sequence to tell the story, either in written form or as a speaking exercise. For more advanced learners, the task can be made more difficult by giving a different panel to each student in a group and asking students to describe to the rest of the group what is on their panels. The students should not show their pictures to each other until they have figured out the correct order for the panels. Activity 2 In a variation of the first exercise, the teacher removes the speech or thought bubbles of the comic strips, hands out copies of both the comic strip and the text of the bubbles to the students. The students' task is to figure out the proper order of the speech or thoughts. Activity 3 The teacher hands out a comic strip from which the last panel is cut out. Students are asked to continue the story and come up with an ending. Similar to the first activity, this can be a writing or speaking exercise and can be organized as either an individual or a group activity, depending on the needs of the students. (Naturally, the first exercise could be continued with this exercise as well; however, this way is more challenging than having to continue a story that already has a conclusion). A follow-up for this exercise could be that the students act out their stories in class. After acting out a story, they could continue it as a role-play activity. Role-plays are useful for providing the teacher with feedback on how well the students learnt the new language (grammar, vocabulary, etc.). Besides, this activity reduces Teacher Talking Time and facilitates the speech of the students. It is generally true that people are less inhibited to talk when they have a personality "to hide behind," so when they play a role, they tend to forget about the surrounding circumstances (i.e., the classroom or the presence of the teacher). Activity 4 Another interesting (and slightly more complex) exercise is to organize students into groups and give them a written story with missing information. First the groups should discuss what might be missing from the text. Then the teacher gives them a comic strip version of the text. They must fill in the blanks in the written story by describing what they see in the pictures. After that, they are asked to think of speech and/or thought bubbles for the comic strip. Naturally, as a follow-up activity, they can act it out and continue the story as a role-play. The variations of these kinds of activities are almost endless. They can be combined with other activities, or used as supplementary material.

Create a Comic Strip

I often use comic strips for students to retell a story. There are many ways to do this. First I have students fold paper in half like a hotdog and then fold it two more times like a letter. This creates six boxes. I always have students write at least one to two students per box. Then they can draw pictures with the characters having think bubbles or talking bubbles. Describe what Describe what happens in the happens in the beginning of the story. beginning of the story. Describe what Describe what happens in the happens in the end middle of the story. of the story. Title and author and comic strip Characters creator (student name) Problem Solution

Describe what happens in the middle of the story. Describe what happens in the end of the story.

Setting Reflection on the story or have students critique and give their opinion.

Another type of comic strip is similar. Have students fold a piece of paper like an accordion 2-3 times. This is good practice using sequencing words when retelling a story. Have students complete the following in each box.

Picture

Write about what happens first in the story.

Picture

Write about what happens next.

Picture

Write about what happens then in the story.

Picture

Write about how the story ends.

21

Draw a Favorite Picture

I have given students a story map to retell the story. I have used the maps from the book Catching Kids Up. They are very simple but provide good practice for students. When students finish the story map they can draw a picture of their favorite part of the story. I pull out the watercolor paints or pastels and let them go. Sometimes just the novelty of a new medium motivates kids!!!

Elements of a Narrative
Plot: the sequence of events that take place in a story. Setting: the time and place in which the events of a story take place. Characterization: the methods used to present the personality of a character in a narrative. Direct--the author describes the character. Example--She was a large woman with a large purse. Indirect--the reader judges what the character is like based on what they say or do, or what other characters say about them. Example--We believe the narrator of "The Tell-Tale Heart" is crazy because he talks nervously and frequently repeats himself. Atmosphere: the general mood or feeling established in a piece of literature. Atmosphere is created through word choice and pacing. Word Choice--the author uses words that make the reader feel a certain way. A spooky atmosphere is created in "The Tell-Tale Heart" through the use of words like "hideous," "marrow," "chilled," and "nervous." Pacing--the author controls the speed at which we read through sentence length, punctuation, repetition of words and other techniques.

Point of View: who is narrating the story (2 main types: First Person, Third Person) First person: the narrator uses "I" to tell the action, and is involved in the story. Third person: the story is told from a perspective outside the story. The characters are referred to by name, or as he, she or they. Conflict: the central problem that drives the action of a story. Internal: The conflict happens in a character's mind. A character with a guilty conscience is an example of internal conflict. External: The conflict happens between characters, or between a character and some outside force, like nature. Sherlock Holmes pursuing a criminal is an example of external conflict.

I.

Investigate what is an environmental emergency, and what kind of environmental emergencies they know.

An environmental emergency is a sudden onset disaster or accident resulting from natural, technological or human-induced factors, or a combination of these, that cause or threaten to cause severe environmental damage as well as loss of human lives and property. This term is coming into increasingly common usage as the link between disasters and the environment becomes better understood. It relates to the interface between disasters, human life and health, and the environment. In general, environmental emergencies distinguish between three scenarios: (1) classic environmental emergency (also referred to as technological or industrial accidents); (2) sudden on-set natural disaster with major negative impacts on human life and welfare and on the environment; and (3) complex emergencies with major environmental impacts (more commonly known as conflict or war).

Classic environmental emergencies Environmental emergencies in the narrow sense are technological or industrial accidents and usually involve some type of hazardous material and can occur at any location where these materials are produced, used or transported. Common locations include pesticide storage sites, hospitals, railway marshalling yards, and numerous different industrial manufacturing sites. While radiological and biological emergencies are typically excluded as they require a different specialized response, large forest and wild land fires are generally included in this definition as they are often human -induced and can create serious humanitarian suffering, as was clearly the case in the haze covering south east Asia in 1997 and 1998. Natural disasters
Large sudden-onset natural disasters, such as floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and volcano eruptions can have big negative impacts on human health and the environment. Examples of how secondary impacts have caused further death and suffering are: Floods causing landslides, earthquakes resulting in fires in refineries, volcano eruptions leading to petrol stations explosions, gas exploration works resulting in mud volcanoes and typhoons sinking ferries containing large quantities of hazardous pesticides.

35

Complex emergencies In situations of complex emergencies, such as in Somalia, Darfur (Sudan) and Iraq, the break-down of authority, looting, and attacks on strategic industrial installations can all cause environmental emergencies. For example, the bombing of the fuel storage tanks of a power station in Lebanon, led to a spill in the Mediterranean of 15,000 tones of heavy fuel oil. Natural disasters Tornadoes Blizzards Hurricanes Cyclones Monsoons Earthquakes Forest fires Floods Snow squalls Extreme cold Extreme heat Weather bombs Wind chill Humid Avalanches And many more

Tornadoes
Tornadoes can occur in the periods between June and October. The classification system of Tornadoes is called the Fujita Scale and can range from 1 (mildest) 5 (severe). Differ from hurricanes in the fact that strongest pressure of the storm is inside, where in hurricanes is outside. Tornadoes are convergent meaning they come together in a funnel. Tornadoes happen in tornado alley usually in the mid- east, where warm tropical air near the surface is met with cool air at top. Green brown in color. Sound like a train when the tornado occurs. weathereye.kgan.com//twister_small.jpg
36

Blizzards Hurricanes A major snowstorm Characterized by the following: - High wind speed - Duration of 4 hours or more - 20 +cm. of snow - Blowing snow - Low visibility home.att.net/ ~hasting/IMAGES/blizz96.gif Usually have the following: - 2 strong parts with an eye in the center. - Usually only occur in the Atlantic, and Caribbean - Are arranged along a mesoscale event - Usually can be from small to very heavy.
www.1.ncdc.noaa.gov/.../hurricanes1950-1996.gif

Cyclones These normally have the following: - In the Pacific area, they do not occur in the Caribbean or Atlantic - They are usually counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere and the storms up in Northern Hemisphere are clockwise. zebu.uoregon.edu/ph121/l15.html

Monsoons Usually you will find: - In Asian and Eastern parts of Africa. - Usually the climate is a very long period of dry weather found by a short period of very wet weather. - People can be killed during monsoons. www.mrdowling.com/612monsoon.html

37

Snow Squalls Snow Squalls are: - Brief but powerful snowstorms that can occur from the lakes in the northern midwest and the central Canada around the great lakes. - Can follow same qualities as blizzards. cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/goes/misc/990212.ht ml

Forest Fires Earthquakes Earthquakes are: - Shaking and trembling - Caused along the fault lines - Two types: can be a sub-duction, or one that glides. - A Richter scale is used to determine magnitude from 0.0 -9. http://www.mala.bc.ca/~ earles/dehydration-earthquakesnov02.htm Forest Fires can be: - Made by humans being very inattentive to the situation around them. - Can be made naturally from nature or pests like the pine beetle. - Can be made by weather, i.e.: wind and lightning www.vancouver.cbc.ca/.../churns/b cfires.html

Floods

Avalanches These basically occur when there are warmer temperatures at the top of a hill followed by cooler temperatures down lower followed by unstable snow packs.

Floods can be caused by: - Weather storms - Backed up sewage or storm drains from leaves and other products. - Negligence of humans. http://miami-geologylll.tripod.com/flood_home.htm

What are natural disasters? Natural Disasters are events that can change the entire shape of the earth and kill many people depending on where, when and how they present. They are completely normal because is a reaction of the planet, of nature indeed. But sometimes the human being produces these natural disasters by polluting the planet and not taking care of the nature. II.

An environmental emergency is a sudden onset disaster or accident resulting from natural, technological or human-induced factors, or a combination of these, that cause or threaten to cause severe environmental damage as well as loss of human lives and property. This term is coming into increasingly common usage as the link between disasters and the environment becomes better understood. It relates to the interface between disasters, human life and health, and the environment. In general, environmental emergencies distinguish between three scenarios: (1) classic environmental emergency (also referred to as technological or industrial accidents); (2) sudden onset natural disaster with major negative impacts on human life and welfare and on the environment; and (3) complex emergencies with major environmental impacts (more commonly known as conflict or war). Environmental emergencies in the narrow sense are technological or industrial accidents and usually involve some type of hazardous material and can occur at any location where these materials are produced, used or transported. Common locations include pesticide storage sites, hospitals, railway marshalling yards, and numerous different industrial manufacturing sites.

Hangman game
Rules For Hangman Word Game
Introduction

Hangman is a popular word guessing game where the player attempts to build a missing word by guessing one letter at a time. After a certain number of incorrect guesses, the game ends and the player loses. The game also ends if the player correctly identifies all the letters of the missing word. Hangman is a classic paper and pencil game. NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2 (or more). 1 must be the executioner, and 1 or more letter guessers.

WHAT'S NEEDED TO PLAY? A pencil and some paper are needed to play the game.

SET UP: Either prints out some pre-prepared hangman pages or draw a simple gallows and write out the alphabet above or below the gallows.

HOW TO PLAY: Choose one person to be the executioner. That person will think of a word or short phrase and mark out blanks (short lines) for each letter of each word. Separate words with a slash, a fairly wide gap, or place words on separate lines. Then another player will guess a letter. If that letter is in the word(s) then write the letter in everywhere it would appear, and cross out that letter in the alphabet. If the letter isn't in the word then add a body part to the gallows (head, body, left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg). The player will continue guessing letters until they can either solve the word (or phrase) or all six body parts are on the gallows.

TO WIN: The executioner wins if the full body is hanging from the gallows. The guesser(s) wins if they guess the word before the person is hung.

63

HANGMAN EXAMPLE: Here is an example of a hangman game in progress. The phrase is Happy Birthday, so 5 blank spaces were marked out for Happy, and below that, 8 blank space were marked out for birthday. Three correct guesses were made: A, R and T. Three incorrect guesses made: S, E, and M. Three body parts were added for the 3 incorrect guesses.

64

II. Choose a word write a line for each letter of the word in the box below. If a letter is guessed correctly, write on the line, If a letter is guessed wrong, draw a body part.

ABCDEGGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWWXYZ

1. The lesson usually ________ at 9:00 a.m. ___ ____ ___ ____ ____ ____ . 2.-They are not watching TV. They are ________ their homework. ___ ____ ___ ____ ____. 3.

The lesson usually ________ at 9:00 a.m. ___ ____ ___ ____ ____.

65

Hangman word game.

III.-Think a word, under above of the hangman games, write a number of dashes( ___) that equal the number of letters in the word ( for example, if your word is house you would write ___ ___ ___ ___ ___). Your opponent then tries to guess your words by guessing letters. If your opponent guesses a letter correctly, fill in the corresponding dash with the letter, if your opponent guesses wrong; add a body part of your hangman, starting with a head. Usually the student guessing the word, gets 6 chances (head, body, two legs two arms). As they guess letters, use the alphabet under each game to cross them off, if the opponent guesses the word before the hangman is completed, they win and get the next turn.

Reading Comprehension Worksheet Simple Machines Tom prepared to show off his latest creation for his local science fair. His robot was intelligent, but not mobile. Sammy his robot, could not walk up steps or move his arms up and down. Tom used a series of pulleys to help Sammy's arms move. When a single pulley was pulled by Tom, Sammy's arms would be raised. Tom found this to be difficult to use. Tom added weights to the opposite end of the pulleys. When Tom pushed a switch, Sammy would raise his arms. The only problem with this was that his arms would stay up after the switch was pushed. Tom built Sammy what he called "Power Shoes." When Sammy had his Power Shoes on, a lever would continuously rotate and allow him to climb over surfaces up to one foot in height.

V. Read the aspects of Autobiography

Autobiography is the type of writing in which authors tell about events in their own lives.

Characters are well developed in detail and are true-to-life. They are revealed by what people in a story do, think, and say; what other say about them; and how others interact with them.

Characterization is the authors development of characters. It is the way in which a writer reveals a characters personality. The writer may do this by telling us what the character says, thinks, or feels; by telling us what other characters think or feel about the character; or by telling us directly what the character is like.

Setting is described vividly.

Details are interesting. Writers of autobiographies use objective and subjective details and anecdotes to tell their life stories.

Anecdotes are short, often humorous, stories that enliven writing and illustrate a point.

Chronological order is the order in which real-life events occur and the order in which most writers of autobiographies tell their stories. Often events are arranged from childhood to adulthood.

Point of View is the perspective from which an autobiography is written. Since autobiographies are written by their subjects, they are told from the first-person point of view and use the pronouns I, me, and mine. Readers experience events through the writer's eye-- knowing only what they think and feel about any given experience.

95

An autobiography is told from the writers perspective, or point of view. The first-person point of view reflects only the writers thoughts, feelings, opinions, and biases. The thirdperson point of view can be used to reflect the opinions, feelings, thoughts, and biases of multiple characters.
Third-person limited point of view is limited to the experience and consciousness of single character. Third-person omniscient point of view is told by an all-knowing narrator who understands and can reveal the thoughts and feeling of all characters.

Author's Purpose is the author's reason for writing. Authors of autobiographies often want to make sense of events in their lives and to communicate an important personal statement about life. They may also want to give credit to people who influence them. Controversial individuals often write autobiographies to explain or justify their actions.

Humor Autobiographies often use short, humorous anecdotes (stories) to enliven the story and illustrate a point. Some humor is verbal (jokes or play on words), some physical (slapstick humor), and some require readers to use their imagination. There are some standard criterion a for creating humor: One criterion is to use material that is outrageous. Another is to focus on the unexpected. Some authors take advantage of the fact that their readers enjoy situations in which the authors make fun of things that the readers themselves find annoying, such as homework.

Irony is an expression of the opposite of what is expected or the opposite of what is meant. Example: Shut up and listen to me, he roared. . This particular kind of irony is humorous because it casts light on a persons foibles (minor flaws; weaknesses) in a gently teasing way. There are three types of Irony:

Verbal Irony: is when someone says the opposite of what they mean. Situation Irony: is when what happens is very different from what is expected. Dramatic Irony: is when the reader knows something that one or more characters dont know.

96

Descriptive details create a picture with words that appeal to one or more of the five senses sight, sound, touch, taste, or smell. Sight: the writer gives a clear picture of what he looks like and how he moved. Touch: the simile comparing Alec to the sunrise suggests tremendous emotional warmth. Sound: there is a sound of respect in his voice.

Prefix is a word part added at the beginning of a word. It changes the meaning of the word to which it is added. Example: unwound and impatient. Un and im are both prefixes meaning not. Unwound means to reverse the process of winding up and impatient means not patient. Other prefixes that mean not are in-, non-, and mis-.

Drawing Conclusion Strategic readers draw conclusions when they take small pieces of information about the characters or events and use them to make a broad statement .

1.-Write in your notebook What you think about an specific topic using connectors? 2. Look up for a character you would like to know about and write his or her biography using connectors. 3. Look at http://www.ompersonal.com.ar/omexercise/contenidotematico.htm, http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/grammar/if_type1.htm and http://www.agendaweb.org/, and then write five exercises about tag questions.

VII- Read the Justin Bieber Biographies. (Circle the verbs in past tense, and underline the connectors).

Reading Comprehension Text From: http://www.justinbiebermusic.com Picture From: http://www.sevensidedcube.net Justin Bieber Biography

An old soul is the last thing you would expect to find inside Justin Bieber. But all it takes is one listen to the 15 year-old soul-singing phenomenon to realize that he is light years ahead of his manufactured pop peers. After posting dozens of homemade videos on YouTube in 2007, where the multi-talented Bieber put his impeccable spin on songs from artists like Usher, Ne-Yo and Stevie Wonder, Justin racked up over 10,000,000 views purely from word of mouth. I started singing about three years ago, says the Canadian native who grew up an only child in Stratford, Ontario. I entered a local singing competition called Stratford Idol. The other people

100

in the competition had been taking singing lessons and had vocal coaches. I wasnt taking it too seriously at the time, I would just sing around the house. I was only 12 and I got second place. In an effort to share his victory with his loved ones, Justin began posting his performance footage online. I put my singing videos from the competition on YouTube so that my friends and family could watch them, he says. But it turned out that other people liked them and they started subscribing to them. Thats how my manager found me. He saw me on YouTube and contacted my family and now Im signed! Seven months after Justin started posting his videos online, former So So Def marketing executive Scooter Braun flew the then 13-year old singer to Atlanta, GA to meet with his elite colleagues. As if Justins natural singing talent wasnt enough to impress Scooters inner circle, Braun knew Bieber was also a self -taught musician who plays the drums, guitar, piano and trumpet. Right when we flew into Atlanta, Scooter drove us to the studio and Usher was there in the parking lot, remembers Bieber. That was my first time ever being out of Canada so I went up to him and was like, Hey Usher, I love your songs, do you want me to sing you one? He was like, No little buddy, just come inside, its cold out.

101

All it took was a short time online for Usher to realize he was in the company of a future superstar. A week later Usher flew me back to Atlanta, says Bieber. I sang for him and his people and he really wanted to sign me then and there but I still had a meeting with Justin Timberlake who also wanted to sign me. It turned out Ushers deal was way better. He had L.A. Reid backing him up and Scooter had a lot of really good connections in Atlanta. I always tease Usher now and remind him how he blew me off the first time we met. In October of 2008, Justin Bieber officially signed to Island Records. His debut album, My World is an intimate look into the mind of a budding young renaissance man. With production from star hit men like The Dream and Tricky Stewart who produced Umbrella for Rihanna and Beyonces smash, Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It), Justin has everything he needs to achieve pop supremacy. His first single, One Time produced by Tricky, is about one of Justins favorite topics, puppy love. Usher joins Justin on First Dance where the two share versus on a song that Bieber describes as, A slow groovy song that people can dance to. On the Midi-Mafia produced Down to Earth Justin digs deep to talk about growing up. Bigger finds the teenaged singer maturing at a steady rate, while motivating his listeners to strive for their goals. Im looking forward to influencing others in a positive way, says Justin. My message is you can do anything if you just put your mind to it. I grew up below the poverty line; I didnt have as much as other people d id. I think it made me stronger as a person it built my character. Now I have a 4.0 grade point average and I want to go to college and just become a better person. A virtually untapped well of natural artistic talent, Justin Bieber is primed to be a solid force in music for many years to come. I think older people can appreciate my music because I really show my heart when I sing, and its not corny, he says. I think I can grow as an artist and my fans will grow with me. And just think, hes just getting started. Justin Bieber Biography By: Have Fun Teaching

El Da de los Muertos began as a pre-Columbian celebration and was greatly influenced by the Spanish. It is a ritual honoring the dead and has been practiced for nearly 3,000 years by pre-Hispanic groups such as the ancient Maya, Aztec, and Toltec. These groups occupied Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize. When the Spaniards arrived, they tried to convert the Aztecs to Catholicism, which meant they had to destroy this ritual, but the Aztecs refused to let this sacred ritual die. In pre-Hispanic times, el Da de los Muertos was celebrated in August. When the Spanish could not destroy the holiday, they moved it to November 1st (All Saints Day) and November 2nd (All Souls Day) to make the ritual more Christian. Today it is celebrated more in smaller towns than in the cities. This tradition is slowly fading. (Do you think the same thing is happening with holidays and traditions in the U.S.?)

_____________________________
I was fortunate enough to be chosen for a student exchange to Mexico. I spent three months living with a real Mexican family and attending a local high school. It has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. In this essay I will compare and contrast some aspects of school in Mexico and Australia. There are many similarities in school life between Mexico and Australia. In Australia most students wear school uniforms and Mexican students also wear it. Both school days are divided into classes marked by the bell. One major difference however, is that in Australia the kids are the ones who change classrooms, while in Mexico the students stay in the same room and the teachers change. During the breaks, Mexican girls get together and chat and boys play sport, just in the same way girls and boys do in Australia.
121

However, the choice of sports is different. In Australia we play Aussie Rules football in the winter and cricket in the summer. In contrast, in Mexico they play soccer all year round. The most difficult difference for me to get used to was the timetable. In Mexico we started school at 7 am I had a really hard time with that as it was very different from the 9:00 am start time in Australia! Nevertheless classes finished earlier than at home so we were finished by 1:00 pm. In Australia Im at school until 3:00 pm. I made the mistake of thinking my teacher was relaxed like Mr. Fitzgerald, my teacher at home. On the contrary, Mexican teachers are strict. In Mexico we get a lot of homework, while in Australia we only get a little bit. In conclusion, I experienced many similarities and differences in school life between Mexico and Australia. As an exchange student, adapting to the differences is the fun part of the experience. From the book All Ready!

Before the round table

What Is It? Round Table and Round Robin are cooperative learning strategies in which students take turns contributing answers in a group. Round table is usually completed in written form; round robin in oral form. How Do You Use It? The teacher poses a question or a task that has many possible answers such as listing the items the settlers needed to make the trip West or all possible pairs of numbers that total a given number. In round table there is usually one piece of paper and one pen for each group. One student makes a contribution and then passes the paper and pen to the student seated to the left. The pen and paper literally go around the table. The teacher should monitor the groups to determine that they have adequate time to generate answers. Once the groups have completed the task, each group shares its collective responses with the whole class. Round robin is an oral counterpart of round table. Students simply take turns stating answers or ideas, without recording them. Round robin can be used with children too young to write or when participation is the goal of the activity.

Roundtable
Roundtable structures can be used to brainstorm ideas and to generate a large number of responses to a single question or a group of questions.
Faculty poses question. One piece of paper and pen per group. First student writes one response, and says it out loud. First student passes paper to the left, second student writes response, etc. Continues around group until time elapses. Students may say "pass" at any time. Group stops when time is called.

The key here is the question or the problem you've asked the students to consider. It has to be one that has the potential for a number of different "right" answers. Relate the question to the course unit, but keep it simple so every student can have some input. Once time is called, determine what you want to have the students do with the lists...they may want to discuss the multitude of answers or solutions or they may want to share the lists with the entire class. 1. Teacher poses a problem with many possible answers such as How can we show respect in our classroom? 2. Students make a list on one piece of paper, each writing one of the possible answers and then pass the paper to the next person. The paper literally goes round the table..

1. Select the Civic and Ethical topic. A question with multiple possible answers, a
topic for writing, or a task with many steps or solutions. (The teacher can agree with the students and choose another topic). 1. Responsibility 2. Democracy

Ask the students for more topics and continue the list.

2. The class is divided into teams (The number of teams is up to the teacher) the teams take a topic. 3. Investigate and read about the topic.

Steps for the Strategy

1. Choose a project, a question with multiple possible answers, a topic for writing, or a task with many steps or solutions. 4. One sheet of paper and one pencil is passed around the group. Each student writes an answer or part of the topic, taking about the same amount of time. 3. Students coach one another when a partner has difficulty. 4. Students provide appropriate praise or constructive criticism when necessary.

128

Management Tips
1. Use only one sheet of paper and pencil per group. 2. Provide questions with multiple answers. 3. Set a standard amount of time for each person to share. 4. Display the amount to time in some way (wall clock, Teach Timer, etc.) 5. A sheet defining the responsibilities of each partner may be helpful when first using this strategy with students. 6. Model good coaching for the students, including the difference between coaching and giving the answer, including constructive feedback. 7. Use heterogeneous groups created by the teacher.

INSTRUCTIONS This is a Co-operative learning. You pass a sheet of paper around the table taking it in turns to write a sentence. Listen to your teacher instructions when the teacher gives the signal, gives the paper and pen to the student on his/her left. The paper and pen literally go around the table, thus the name: Roundtable. You need to write 5 sentences describing bullying and the types. You will work as a group, taking it in turns to write a sentence. However the whole group must agree on each sentence before you can write it down.

Read the story and write the topic.

David woke up and frowned. He didn't want to go to school today. He knew that today would be a bad day, just like every other day. David came down the steps for breakfast and sat down at the table. "Hey," his older brother growled, "that's where I'm sitting!" and he pushed David out of the chair. "You better learn to stay off my chair. David walked to the bus stop. All of the students in the neighborhood waited together, including some big

fifth-graders who always picked on him. "Hey, you," called one of them. "Where did you get that stupid hat?"
He grabbed the hat off David's head. "Look at this piece of trash," he called to his friends, and he threw David's hat into the trash can. David finally made it to class. As he sat down at his desk, he saw one of the girls in his class point at him and whisper something to her friend. Her friend laughed and told the girl next to her. She laughed too and ran to tell another girl. David felt his face getting red as he sat down and stared at his desk. For lunch, David usually ate with his friend, Tran, but today Tran was absent. David walked over to a table with

an empty chair and started to sit down. "You can't sit here," a boy at the table said. "This seat is saved." David
walked to another table but the boys there said, "We don't want you here. Go away." David ended up eating by himself. At recess that afternoon nobody asked David to play, so David stood watching the others. Suddenly, one girl ran up and called David a name. Other boys and girls nearby started teasing David too. David was so upset that he just wanted to disappear.

The gopher angrily pushed the ball out of its hole. The gopher complained loudly. The gopher made a loud complaint. The ball hit him hardhardly on the head. James could hardly believe that a gopher was making its home on the golf course. Normally, James has good eyesight. However, he didn't see well this time because his ball did land anywhere near the golf green. In any language, a person must give and follow directions whether it is in a cab, when explaining a process, or giving instructions

In English, the imperative form is the command form of a sentence. The imperative is most often used when giving directions or giving instructions. Do your homework. Study for the test. Pay attention in class. All these are imperative sentences. Forming the imperative is very simple. Verb conjugations follow the normal pattern, but the subject of the sentence (you) is dropped. You do your homework becomes do your homework. For negative sentences, do not is added too before the verb. Do not sleep in class.

Cameron the Relay Machine

Cameron was a star swimmer at Eldred Middle School. He had been swimming competitively since he was five years old. He was to swim in three events and one relay at the meet on Tuesday. As always, Cameron had his signature bowl of spaghetti and meatballs before preparing for the meet. He also always has a Rice Krispies bar immediately following his warm up routine. When he prepares for a meet, the first thing that he does is stretch his muscles and warm-up by running in place, immediately after stretching. Then, he does ten push-ups followed by a run-up and down the middle school bleachers. Cameron swam well. He placed first twice and got a third place in the 500 meter butterfly stroke. He truly dominated the relay getting his team a two lap lead by the time he got out of the water.

Place the events in order (1 being first) by using 1-7:

I. Look at the pictures and predict the topic of the reading.

1. The topic is: a) Friends and students b) Why do bullies act that way? c) Throwing away notebooks. d) Gossip and flooding II. Read the article and identify the topic of each paragraph. Bullies usually pick on someone because there is something different about the victim, e.g. they may be physically different, wear different clothes or like different music. There are several reasons why bullies pick on people: Some bullies are looking for attention, and they think bullying is a way to be popular. Other bullies are insecure. They want to feel important, and when they pick on someone else, it makes them feel powerful. Some bullies come from families where everyone is angry and shouts all the time, and they think it is a normal way to act. Some bullies pick on their victims for no reason at all. The good news is that bullies can learn to change their behavior: Teachers can help bullies understand that their behavior benefits nobody. Other kids can set an example by treating everyone fairly and with respect. Schools can stop bullying by suspending or expelling bullies. Taken from the book: Yes, we can! 2. The topic of the first paragraph is: a) What a bully is. b) Someone different c) Favorite clothes and music d) Victims 3.
