Week No 4

Hi Guus

I hope your'e all doing well in school, and the Meitzav tset is already behind you.

My week was quite full, I visited Tel-Aviv  and attended AliBaba webinar conference about sourcing products from China, I learned a lot and it was very interesting conference.

In this week task I found a lot of gret tools that I can use with my students.

1. http://photofunia.com - My students constantly asking me to teach "outside" of the book and use more of Youtube and fun activities, since I'm having some discipline problemsI attend to "surrender" to their requests and cooperate with them. I asked my 8B students to write down their motto in life and find a photo that will emphesize it the best way. My example was: Work hard play harder. In order to sucseed you need to try and fail, try and fail, and to put a lot of effort in school. I see it as the univeral formula for sucsses. I used $$$ sign as the variable for sucsess though its quite materialistic

2. Google Images my perfect vacation - writing task. 

I typed in Google images the key words: tropical island

and ask my 9th graders to write 100 words essay about their perfect summer vacation. 

They will go to google and find their perfect location to travel, they will need to describe according the picture what they did during the vacation and what was most fun for them.
