Teacher's Sharing Zone

 A great book to read with adolescents, it is so easy to get caught in the story. Totally recommended if you are looking for real material to work with your upper courses.  But all books need us to get our students ready for what they will be reading.  I used Prezi  to prepare the audience. You will find here notes on the author, main topics, some elements regarding the main character.. even a couple of short videos.  

  Giving students assignments can have all shapes and forms. Some can involve just a paper or line on the board, others can be a little more attractive.   What about this preparing one like this?  Glogster is a great tool for presentations, posters, assignments. It can have any shape, background, colour you can think of. It will give all the space your imagination needs. Give it a try!  This is a presentation I prepared for a group of teachers starting to use Edmodo

  Great book for adolescents and a lovely movie too. I tell my students to watch after reading the book. In this way, they can enjoy both formats ;-) In this Prezi  you will find information on the author, plus a short video of the author talking about her book. There are also notes on the book's topics. Students can go through the presentation while they listen to the movie's music in the background. Hope you find it useful!

If you are looking for a great short story, then Mr Know-all by Somertet Maugham is the perfect choice!  A lovely short story to read with an incredible twist at the end! I prepared this Prezi  for my Advanced students, in this way they could work at their own pace going through the different activities y proposed.  Do take a look, hope you find it useful.
