24. Apologies in order, in case there is no time to keep this blog running, please feel free to reach me by email or in my class blog at <a href="http://shiningasoure.blogspot.pt/">http://shiningasoure.blogspot.pt/</a> - a blog that has equally been very time consuming, but so rewarding!

29. Have just returned from some days off and shared a guessing activity with my students in our class blog using a free Android app <a href="http://www.clarisketch.com/#top">Clarisketch</a>.<br />
30. <b><br /></b>
31. <b><br /></b>
32. <b>How?</b><br />
33. 1. Download the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handlix.clarisketch">Clarisketch application</a> into your tablet or smartphone. This app is for free and works on Androids 2.3.6 Gingerbread or higher.<br />
34. 2. Take a picture or use one from your camera.<br />
35. 3. Record your voice.<br />
36. 4. While adding voice to your pic, you can also draw on it highlighting details and commenting.<br />
37. 5. In the end, send or share it. No embedding, but a link to share. Here's my example - the one I used with my students:<br />
38. <br />
39. <a href="http://www.clarisketch.com/sketch/7Y5Fla3i0h56U9N2yQXJ8N" style="background-color: white; color: #33aaff; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20.790000915527344px; text-align: center;">http://www.clarisketch.com/sketch/7Y5Fla3i0h56U9N2yQXJ8N</a><br />
40. <br />
41. <b>What?</b><br />
42. As you can see, it's very user-friendly and relevant for classroom use as a listening activity, eventually also combining reading; it can be used for tutorials, for homework, instructions, directions... or as a guessing activity. By the way: where was I???<br />

49. <span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Hooray!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
50. <div class="MsoNormal">
51. <span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Time to celebrate: after some resistance,
52. I’ve finally finished reading my first digital book and am reading a second one
53. already! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
54. <div class="MsoNormal">
55. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-GB">For me it’s definitely an improvement, a
56. step forward, which has taken place because I had no more physical books to read and
57. love reading in bed. It was, therefore, a kind of last resort but, ok, I’m glad
58. it happened and now I feel it was just a question of time. Besides it wasn’t
59. that bad really.</span></span></div>
60. <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: inherit;">As you all know, I am a huge fan of
61. Gutenberg and his invention and am going to let him down. I don’t even own an
62. e-reader (and don’t plan to buy one!) and the digital reading I’ve been doing is
63. free. I’m not ready to pay for a digital file, a “book”, I can’t actually touch
64. – at least not yet. What I did was therefore look for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain">public domain</a> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">ebooks
65. across different platforms (some tips and links </span><a href="http://clubeinglesoure.blogspot.pt/2012/07/ebooks-for-holidays.html" style="font-family: inherit;">here</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> and </span><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/teacheralex.duarte/creative-reading-appi-and-bc-19102013" style="font-family: inherit;">here</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> from slide 34 onwards), chose the format and downloaded 2 ebooks I've been meaning to read for ages. Right now, I'm proud to "announce" that I've managed to read </span><a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/113" style="font-family: inherit;">The Secret Garden</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> from cover to cover, and am reading </span><a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/2641" style="font-family: inherit;">Room with a View</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> .</span><br />
66. <div class="MsoNormal">
67. <span style="font-family: inherit;">I can't deny I' enjoying it. I am! At night, when </span>when my eyes feel strained, I change to
68. font size 36, the brightness of the monitor and / or lettering and keep
69. reading for some more time. What about you, have you had a similar experience?<br />
70. <div class="MsoNormal">
71. <span lang="EN-GB">Though much has already been said about
72. screen and paper reading, I’d like to butt in too once I’ve just had the
73. experience. Quite clearly, both have advantages and disadvantages and
74. ultimately it’s up to each one of us to evaluate our needs and decide.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
75. <div class="MsoNormal">
76. <span lang="EN-GB">Here is what I’ve come up with. I’m sure I
77. haven’t covered all aspects and that’s exactly why I would like to ask for your
78. contributions with comments. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

107. 4th of July is Independence Day in the USA, now over 200 years old! The aforementioned invite and its background have prompted this post but just to introduce some info on the topic once only in September will we be back at school. Besides, it is also a local holiday and if needed be, both can be used for lessons on Citizenship, on Celebrations, History...<br />

112. For history stuff, <a href="http://www.history.com/">History.com</a> is, for me, the most comprehensive and trustworthy site and it's no exception in what concerns the events that led to the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain in 1776. It includes several videos and lots of info also on <a href="http://www.biography.com/people/thomas-jefferson-9353715#synopsis&">Thomas Jefferson</a>, a draftsman of the Declaration of Independence.<br />

138. <b>#1</b> <b>What is <a href="https://www.thinglink.com/learn">ThingLink</a>?</b><br />
139. ThingLink is a free user-friendly digital tool that allows us to create and share interactive images. All can be done effortlessly and quickly and one can turn any static image into a multimedia rich interactive graphic by adding video, other images, audio, links to different sources...<br />
140. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-drdL5r0qgxA/U6YfVIWJ0II/AAAAAAAADDk/5XBDWNQjHzQ/s1600/ICONS.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-drdL5r0qgxA/U6YfVIWJ0II/AAAAAAAADDk/5XBDWNQjHzQ/s1600/ICONS.JPG" height="200" width="170" /></a>In addition to the coloured dots / nubbins, <a href="https://www.thinglink.com/learn">ThingLink</a> now has more graphic icons - we can therefore choose the one that best suits our purpose when tagging images.<br />
141. <br />
142. <b>#2 <a href="https://www.thinglink.com/learn">ThingLink</a> in the Classroom</b><br />
143. Its uses in the classroom are limitless. We can use it for any subject, any grade! Depending on our goals, we can tag the information ourselves or use it as a collaborative tool and ask our students to add /tag info. I've used it before with maps, with famous paintings as you can read <a href="http://clubeinglesoure.blogspot.pt/2013/05/making-images-interactive.html">here</a>; I've used it with students for introductions as well as to introduce myself.<br />
144. <br />
145. <b>#3 Using <a href="https://www.thinglink.com/learn">ThingLink</a> for Reading Suggestions</b><br />
146. An interesting way of using this innovative and flexible tool in the classroom is also for Reading recommendations and suggestions. Bring books to life by collecting resources, challenging students / potential readers with questions, highlighting important info, presenting the author!<br />
147. "Gone Girl" is a book I've finished reading recently and absolutely loved it. By then I wrote a short review <a href="http://padlet.com/teacheralex_dua/myreadings">here</a> (please scroll down as there are already over 100 books!) and once the movie is going to premiere in the beginning of October, I thought about recommending it beforehand :) Here it is:<br />

282. There is another great place for nice games. At <a href="http://www.esolcourses.com/">ESOL Games</a>, especially under the heading "Activities for English Beginners and Elementary Students", the games are quite easy for 7th / 8th graders. Why not check <a href="http://www.esolcourses.com/content/topics/sport/football/world-cup-picture-quiz.html">this one</a> or <a href="http://www.esolcourses.com/content/topics/sport/football/world-cup-jumbled-words.html">this</a> to have an idea?</div>

290. There are also movies. An example is "Bend it Like Beckham", a 2003 comedy about bending the rules to reach one's goals and explores the world of female football (some worksheets included <a href="http://curriculumproject.org/wp-content/uploads/Bend%20it%20like%20Beckham.pdf">here</a>).</div>

295. <div class="MsoNormal">

349. It’s no news that I am an avid reader and
350. that I instill my students to read even if they start reading in Portuguese; it’s
351. no news either that I love to showcase my students’ work, and not just what’s
352. perfect, but our / their best efforts. Indeed, the students who have moved
353. forward with these book recommendations belong to a very weak class yet they have shown some willingness to overcome their difficulties and improve.
354. While recording – and some recordings took us well over 3 or 4 attempts – the students
355. reported anxiety and trembling voices which says a lot about their commitment.
356. They wish to feel proud of their work as they know it is going to be heard
357. giving their best, even a special needs student included in this slideshow.  This has been our first attempt with narrable
358. and, as such, for a new one, I will only use a mic and / or a mobile phone
359. recording to add to the pics to improve sound quality.<br />
360. <b>Possible uses</b><br />
361. Though I tend to use the
362. web 2.0 tools I come across primarily for book recommendations in English (and in
363. Portuguese for the school library), some other ideas for implementing this tool
364. in the classroom are, for example, for digital storytelling, to tell a story using
365. pics as prompts, to describe historical sites, to introduce yourself using
366. personal pics, for physical description even if with avatars… an endless array
367. of possibilities according to our goals, right?</div>

378. The Book Challenge for the "The Fault In Our Stars" is now closed - exactly on the day that marks the official release of its movie adaptation ;)<br />
379. <br />
380. As promised, here is the missing info on the quiz: I am a registered member at <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/">Goodreads</a> and there I find lots of reading tips as well as challenges like the <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/quizzes">one</a> I used for the google form.<br />

383. In 3 weeks the movie will debut in Portugal and those who haven't read the book still have some time to do it, also because they have now some weeks off from school. As for the winner of the current challenge - it's GABI!!! Here are her correct answers:<br />

401. »» Book Cover<br />
402. <br />
403. I absolutely loved this book by American award-winning author <a href="http://johngreenbooks.com/the-fault-in-our-stars/">John Green</a> and am looking forward to watching the movie from June 26th onwards.<br />
404. If you haven't read it yet, you should - either in the original version (please check <a href="http://thefaultinourstarspdf.com/">this</a>) or in Portuguese. This is a novel about 2 teens who meet in a cancer support group and fall in love. While it may sound a bit sad and heartbreaking - and it is - it is a beautiful story about being young and in love, about life and loss.<br />
405. <br />
406. <br />
407. Here's a compilation of my favourite quotes from the book for you:<br />

411. The book has also inspired others to bake cupcakes based on Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters's story as you can watch below (and a great idea for those who have vocational classes: instill reading and promoting their creativity by asking them to create cakes / cupcakes / tarts ... based on the books) :<br />

413. Soon the movie will premiere and I am super excited to watch it.<br />
414. Here's the trailer to whet your appetite for reading this novel while waiting for the movie.<br />

This has led me to collect some materials and gather ideas to mark this date in my classes, but without spending much time with it and using the few resources we have.&lt;br /&gt;
423. I would like to start by sharing here a very clever ad (maybe you've already come across it) that left me speechless the first time I watched it. I plan to use it as a lovely motivation in my classes to challenge kids to thank their Moms.<br />
424. See for yourself! It is just awesome: a touching and heartelt tribute to all Moms who have the toughest job in the world.<br />

427. <br />
428. <a href="http://visual.ly/why-we-celebrate-mothers-day?utm_source=visually_embed">Here</a> is also a fab infographic on Mother's Day and Motherhood, definitely worth checking, and a <a href="http://www.history.com/videos/history-of-mothers-day#history-of-mothers-day">video</a> with the history of Mother's Day.<br />
429. As for "Thank You" ideas for our students and classes, some tips would be ...<br />
430. <br />
431. <ul>
432. <li>to create and send a free Mother's Day <a href="http://animoto.com/">Animoto</a> video: students surely have pictures on their own and with their Moms and those photos can be used by themselves to create a 30sec free video or they can also share those pics with the teacher who will then very easily create a video;</li>
433. <li>Students can also be challenged to (temporarily) swap their facebook covers to honour their moms using (the same) pics, whether with a simple photocollage or using a great free tool, <a href="http://www.smilebox.com/v2/product-detail/digital/18872">Smilebox</a>;</li>
434. <li>As mentioned before, a photocollage is always an amazing choice and there is no shortage of free tools, even for mobile devices;</li>
435. <li>The easiest, and also the most common, is to send a free ecard. There is no lack of alternatives here either, but sts can try <a href="http://www.123greetings.com/events/mothers_day/">123greetings</a> once it also includes some videos / songs.</li>
436. <li>...</li>
437. </ul>
438. <div>
439. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j_6C0WENXsM/U100cUq4q7I/AAAAAAAAC6w/8tapjOvkYTs/s1600/happy-mother-s-day-109.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j_6C0WENXsM/U100cUq4q7I/AAAAAAAAC6w/8tapjOvkYTs/s1600/happy-mother-s-day-109.jpg" height="200" width="171" /></a>My Sts are not into drawing and Ts don't have much time now. These ideas will therefore save us time in class, motivate Sts for something so personal and we will be including something they all love: technology. Even if their moms don't have FB accounts or email addresses, our students do and can show them; besides, there is always the possibility of printing, at home or at school. What do you think?</div>

449. is approaching and it’s high time I wished you all a very Happy Easter. This tim</span>e I decided to do that with a new app which is also one of the fastest

460. short, looping videos by pressing and holding our finger down on the screen.
461. Even though videos are limited to six seconds, it doesn’t mean they can’t be
462. beautiful and meaningful; besides, one can start and stop recording as many
463. times as one wishes to during those 6 secs to include several different scenes.</span><br />

487. <span lang="EN-GB">W<span style="font-family: inherit;">ell, with so many social networks and easy
488. access to new technologies, the truth is that our students spend more and more
489. time connected and learning – the scary thing is that they may even learn more
490. with the internet than with us in class… they love their mobile phones, their
491. tablets and laptops, so why not make use of them to teach and learn?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
492. <div class="MsoNormal">
493. <span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Even with 6 secs videos there is a great potential
494. for teaching and learning, and because vine videos are looped, they
495. continuously play what one records which is great for the memorisation of
496. concepts, of small chunks of language; we can also ask students to recreate
497. scenes, events or characters from books, to record wishes (for instance Happy
498. Easter), experiences or simply create something funny to share with the family
499. and friends.</span></span></div>

511. <br />
512. My eldest kid turns 18 today! I'm so happy and proud of the young man he has become. Though it's his birthday, I feel I have received from God the best gift of all: two wonderful sons, one now to become an adult. All these years, João Diogo has been my right hand, a real blessing in my life. I'm the happiest and the proudest mum in the world, but so unwilling to let go...let's keep this short otherwise I'll keep on crying forever and ever!<br />

596. <div class="MsoNormal">
597. <span lang="EN-GB">To be honest, I’m not that demanding in
598. what concerns language. In other words, whether they read in Portuguese or
599. English, what really matters is that they start or keep reading. I do have one
600. demand, though: whatever they read, they’ll have to present a review
601. in English. Fair enough, after all I am their foreign language teacher.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
602. <span lang="EN-GB">For my students’ book reviews and

641. <span lang="EN-GB"><a href="http://www.snapchat.com/">Snapchat</a> is an ephemeral photo-sending app
642. and now a huge trend among our students: with this application, available for both iOS and Android, users / snappers can take photos, record videos, add text and
643. even include drawings on the snap and finally send it to one or more
644. recipients. The snaps are automatically deleted shortly after they are opened /
645. viewed according to the time (1 to 10 secs) set beforehand by the sender. In
646. case you do want to keep the snap you got, you can take a printscreen, but the
647. sender will get that notification.</span><br />

When you start the app, you’ll see a
658. large round button on its interface which is the camera button. When you press
659. it, a photo will be taken, and if you hold the button a very short video
660. lasting up to 10secs will be recorded. After that, one can add text by tapping the snap and / or draw onto the image by using an icon on your phone’s top right hand
661. corner. Snaps can be sent to the ones you choose from your list of contacts /
662. other snappers!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
663. <div class="MsoNormal">
664. <span lang="EN-GB">I’ve “played” and experimented this app
665. with my eldest kid and I believe we can also use this in class, for example,
666. for a speaking activity if our sts also have it installed: take a snap and send
667. it to students as a speaking prompt!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

680. <span lang="EN-GB">Snapchat has quickly risen much like
681. Instagram while, at the same time, teens are losing interest in Facebook…
682. Indeed, the fact that it allows us to create perishable photos, gives parents
683. and teachers huge headaches. If we think about this for a while, we easily
684. reach the conclusion that if it can be used for fun and for educational
685. purposes, it has been causing a lot of worries worldwide due to sexting and
686. cyberbullying … perverts as paedophiles are also said to be among its top users…

It was great! This year, I prepared something different, easier stuff, considering I&#39;m teaching younger groups - though basically they all have the same content, it&#39;s up to us to choose which worksheet to use :)

714. It's not the first time I mention <a href="https://tellagami.com/">Tellagami</a> as a fun way to tell a story or present a report. A couple of weeks ago in <a href="http://clubeinglesoure.blogspot.pt/2014/01/tellagami-for-listening-speaking.html">this post</a> I used it for speaking and listening - for book recommendations, chapter summaries, a short story, picture description... Another possibility is to use the same mobile app por writing and listening, in other words: students choose and personalise their avatars, voices, backgrounds and are asked to type a short text about the topic being taught in classes. The text students introduce will turn into voice. Shall we listen?<br />

726. I hope better times will come but, the truth is that right now, I see everything pretty bleak (is it also a reflection of the weather???). For this week, let me just leave you a poem...<br />
727. Also by Robert Frost, here is another text I love and whose last lines make so much sense for me at the moment:

736. <i>Whose woods these are I think I know.</i><br />
737. <i>His house is in the village, though:</i><br />
738. <i>He will not see me stopping here</i><br />
739. <i>To watch his woods fill up with snow.</i><br />

744. <i>The darkest evening of the year.</i><br />
745. <i><br /></i>
746. <i>He gives his harness bells a shake</i><br />
747. <i>To ask if there is some mistake.</i><br />
748. <i>The only other sound's the sweep</i><br />
749. <i>Of easy wind and downy flake.</i><br />

If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:

1. Download the "valid Atom 1.0" banner.

2. Upload the image to your own server. (This step is important. Please do not link directly to the image on this server.)

3. Add this HTML to your page (change the image src attribute if necessary):

   <a href="http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A//clubeinglesoure.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default"><img src="valid-atom.png" alt="[Valid Atom 1.0]" title="Validate my Atom 1.0 feed" /></a>

If you would like to create a text link instead, here is the URL you can use:
