  • Ideas
    :



    1. Ask a question: All students take a turn at the keyboard and write a questions, ex: "Where do you live?", "what's your favorite food?", "Who's your hero?". Once each kid has typed their question, each is given a copy and asked to write a paragraph answering as many as they can.


    2. Use a digital camera for the kids to "act out" a small list of vocabulary words. Load these into iPhoto and display as a slide show. Kids write their guess to which word it is.


    3. Download and use these
      PowerPoint files

      to help teach your lessons. All can be easily edited to meet your needs.
