Editor's Notes

  1. The new 5th grade prep program is a terrific opportunity for students to learn better English before puberty. Will we give them 15 hours of traditional lessons or will we try to engage them and motivate them with new(er) student-centered techniques? Will we integrate technology. I wonder…Let’s look at some of the opportunities we have.
  2. This is a broad outline of the program. It will change according to the group’s questions or my gut feelings.
  3. Is this your classroom? (Yes, I know it is a young learners’ class). The kids are sitting in groups. They are doing different activities. If a kid needs a bit of time away, the teacher lets t happen. He will bring them in later, I expect.
  4. Here is a little about me. You can make a wordle at www.wordle.net
  5. One great way to use word clouds is as pre-reading. Students can predict a lot about the text.
  6. Later they can read the text and check their predictions.
  7. We need to look at every learner in the class. I have a problem with school systems that only teach the ‘good’ students and expect the weaker ones to catch up somehow. We need to plan in such a way that every student is successful.
