I don't think it is an adults-only topic especially when we are living in an era where information is easily accessible. The younger generation are perhaps much more well informed than we were, at their age. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Discussing current events with children can be very fun for them and us, as teachers. Children have an entirely different way of viewing the world. They have wonderful imaginations and I've learnt the most unexpected perspectives from them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">**********</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><u>How to discuss current events with ESL children?</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>1. Choose a current event that is relevant to the child. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You would want to pick a topic that the child can relate to in his or her daily life. Think about what the child's interests are, dreams, or what is trending among people in his or her age. For example, if the child wishes to become a firefighter when he or she grows older, you can talk about recent events related to the profession. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Gather and summarize facts.</b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Facts are important to understand a particular topic of interest. You can either gather facts by doing research with the child together on the internet or find an article that covers the main facts. Below, I've made a simple framework and worksheet that will be useful for summarizing the current event either through speaking or writing (available for free). It's simply our 5W1H (Ie. what, who, where, when, why and how).These basic questions are based on facts and concrete information, which makes it </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">a great starting point to discuss the event because information are the foundation of our opinions. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I usually use the framework for speaking and the worksheet as a writing activity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Discuss feelings.</b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After summarizing the facts, you can move on to discuss the child's feelings. Ask them how they feel about the particular event (Be mindful of their feelings if the topic is a sad one!). Encourage them to expand their answers by asking why they feel that way or what makes them feel that way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Ask higher level questions. (Applicable only for older students)</b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For older students, you may ask higher level questions such as whether they agree or disagree with the author's opinion, what the key issue here is, or the roles of the parties' involved. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. End the discussion with solutions and dreams for the future! </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I like to end our discussions on a positive note by discussing possible solutions to solve the problem or what they hope the future would look like, on the particular issue. For instance, on the issue of using too many plastic bags, a child may respond with a solution from his or her personal standpoint which is to use less! An older student may suggest the government to impose taxes on plastic bags. </span><br />
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-weight: normal;"></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">**********</span></b><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Instead of playing with the traditional circle and crosses, replace the circles and crosses with vocabulary or concepts you want the children to learn or review. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">For example, you can replace them with emotions! Here, player 1 is sad and player 2 is happy. </span></span><br />

<u><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><b>Preparation</b></span></u><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's very easy to create a tic-tac-toe grid for your own teaching purposes. There are many free general tic-tac-toe templates that you can find through Google. If you are looking for more personalized grids, you can easily create your own 3x3 grid using Microsoft word or powerpoint. Alternatively, you can draw on paper or even the whiteboard as a group activity (Teacher vs Students!). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.56px; text-indent: -32px;">2. Partner up the class. Each player will be assigned one vocabulary word to represent them in the game, for example, 'sad'. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.56px; text-indent: -32px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.56px; text-indent: -32px;">3. The players take turns to choose a square with the aim to score three in a row. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.56px; text-indent: -32px;">4. Before occupying the square by drawing the related vocabulary (eg. sad face for the word 'sad), they must do the following tasks:</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.56px; text-indent: -32px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">• Spell out the selected vocabulary. (eg. s-a-d.)</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.56px; text-indent: -32px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">• Make a sentence using the selected vocabulary (eg. I am not sad today.)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Books are often the go-to, for improving or reviewing reading skills. But, pure text cards are sometimes a nice alternative. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Without the distraction of pictures, cards with text alone give kids some time to focus on and interact with the letters, words and the language.</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There's no guessing the story from pictures but children would have to rely purely on the language itself to develop an understanding of the paragraph.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's a quick method to check upon your students' reading skill and see how he or she is doing with understanding texts. </span><br />

meet. You can write on the board for students’ easy reference. (You can also
choose to set a personal goal for each individual but if you are looking to
demonstrate unfairness between an individual’s contribution and pay, setting
team goals are an effective way to demonstrate this because it is likely that
there will be unequal output between students.).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Bananagrams is an adorable well-loved game by children. Letter tiles are zipped in a banana bag and the simplicity of the games allows for endless game variations. Here are my personal favorite ways of using Bananagrams for kindergarten and early elementary children. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
You can purchase Bananagrams on Amazon. Click <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bananagrams-BAN001/dp/1932188126">here</a>.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
<br />
<br /><span style="color: #0b5394;">1. “Make a cross”</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Start with a letter tile in the middle, then ask your kids to build and extend beyond! For young kids who are not familiarized with spelling any word more than 3 letters, I usually put a letter tile in the middle then ask them add one tile on each side to create two three-letter words aka to "make a cross". </span><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Let your kids make their own car! It
might not be your typical educational stuff, but just perfect for the summer holiday! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-outline-level: 1; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Although...if you are keen for educational benefits, the car can also be transformed into a pronoun car that teaches subject and object pronouns. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #202020;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Step 1. </b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Print out the car and wheels and cut them. </span><br />

<span style="color: #202020; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There are 4 windows. Use these windows to represent the 4 different subject pronouns: he, she, it, they or the 4 object pronouns: him, her, it, them. Draw a boy, a girl, more than 2 people, and an object in each of the windows. </span><br />

<span style="color: #202020; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then, tell your student that you'd like them to follow your instructions to create your dream car. For instance, you might say: "Give her the smiley wheel." or "She wants the smiley wheel." Your student should recognize that the subject pronoun 'She' or object pronoun 'her' is used with a boy and stick the smiley face wheel to the wheel nearest the girl. </span><br />

how Courtney achieved my dream blog. The number 1 tip I would give is to communicate your ideas clearly right from the start. The blog designer, no
matter how good, cannot guess what you want. This girl facilitates and
understands the importance of your needs! Best part - she responds and works very fast! I would send her an e-mail about new ideas for my blog and she would be able to turn out a new design within 12 hours.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>How I
began TeachersPayTeachers...</b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As a
ESL teacher, the biggest difficulty is catering to the language differences. Working
in Hong Kong - it was all about the language differences between Cantonese and
English. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When
I first started as a tutor, what I quickly realized was I couldn't find the
resources I wanted. Either (1) free resources online were not catered to my
students’ needs or were not attractive enough or (2) I couldn't afford the
quality paid products. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One
day, I was a typical teacher Googling for free materials and I came across TeachersPayTeachers
(TpT) and made one purchase. Since that one purchase, I've bought more and more
and decided to do more research about the site. First thing I came across?
Deanna Jump – TpT’s famous million earning teacher. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The
next thing was “I should make my own resources!” That’s how I started on this awesome TpT ride.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What I love about TpT most is the community, everyone shows absolute support to
each other. But, the best part is that making quality resources improves your
own teaching so much! Materials I've designed have made learning so much more
fun for my kids. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

course, money is another awesome part. </span></span></div>

<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">Perfect game to play after teaching new vocabs!</b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I find it great in <span style="background-color: white;">forcing students outside their 'comfort' vocabulary - using words they don't normally use. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">***</span></span><br />
<div>
</div>
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">(For those who are not familiar with Taboo, it's a word guessing game. </span>You play in 2+ te</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ams or even just 2 players. Each player in a team takes turn playing the 'describer' role.The describer have their teammates or partners guess the word on his/her card without using the words listed on the card. The team who manages to make the most right guesses win. For instance,</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> if I wanted to describe the word 'apple', some of the words listed on my card might be 'red' or 'fruit'. I must use words other than those to describe the word 'apple' to my team.)</span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">What I recommend is...</span></b></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Make your own cards with 2-3 taboo words.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Have themed card sets that fit according to the vocabulary you teach. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For instance, I have a set of 'utensil' cards including words like 'fork' and spoon that I use for teaching utensil vocabulary. </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'll upload a freebie version soon so stay in touch:)</span><br />
