She walks in beauty

At the lessons of literature we learn lots about English and American writers and their works. Most of my students enjoy this lyrical poem.

 

She Walks in Beauty

(Lord Byron)

She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that's best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

Thus mellowed to that tender light

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impaired the nameless grace

Which waves in every raven tress,

Or softly lightens o'er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet express

How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

But tell of days in goodness spent,

A mind at peace with all below,

A heart whose love is innocent!

This is one of my most favourite poems ever!!!!

Summer Language Camp

Summer is a great time to spend having fun. Together with that we can still devote our time to teaching English. One of the possible ways is to conduct summer language camps in your schools. It doesn't matter whether you have the opportunity to invite a native speaker of not. You can organise fun activities, games and quests for your children. Just do it in English. Speak, sing different songs, play games, have onstage performances - HAVE FUN!!!!!Last summer we had a summer language camp for the primary school children. The camp lasted two weeks. Every day was devoted to a spesific topic - sport, colours, animals, family, food, etc. We did different project works coloring pages, drawing with the crayons outside, singing songs, playing with puppets and many other fun activities. All were happy - both teachers and children.

Felting

There’s something magical about felting knits: You start with a piece of fabric that looks and feels a certain way and, by exposing it to water and agitation, finish with one that looks and feels completely different. This fascinating transformation can keep us intrigued by the process ever since.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is an American and Canadian holiday.

In Canada it is celebrated on the second Monday of October and in the USA it is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It is a big family celebration and a Christian festival.

Planning the Lesson

 

Walking into a class of new students sometimes can be a daunting experience, even for an experienced teacher. 
So all teachers use lesson plans to give the class direction. 
But the lesson plan has other benefits, both for us as teachers and our students.
Some of the reasons for planning lessons include:

• allowing the teacher to time the individual components
•  providing for a logical progression of activities 
•  showing students that some time has gone into preparing their lesson
•  enabling the teacher to see whether there is a balance of activities and skills within the lesson 

Puzzle

Take part in “Puzzle” – learn English

Those who know me personally, would agree that I try to motivate my students to learn English in any possible way.
