Writing4
This lesson plan teaches students to use strong, vivid verbs to improve their creative writing. The teacher demonstrates the difference between weak and strong verbs using example sentences. Students then practice identifying strong verbs in pairs of sentences and suggesting stronger alternatives. They are instructed to revise their own writing by replacing weak verbs. Finally, students compile a list of strong verbs they discovered to use as a reference.
Connect Yourself to Your Personal Learning Network
The document discusses how students are already learning in new ways through their personal learning networks and online communication platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. It emphasizes that teachers need to keep up with these changing ways students learn by connecting to their own personal learning networks and using new forms of online interaction and communication like BackChannels. The overall message is that teachers can no longer rely on traditional "out of the box" solutions and must participate in or create their own online networks and platforms like Ning to effectively engage today's students.
