The students of B4 in the Philipeio-1st Gymnasium of Veria are currently working on an eTwinning project titled: Where Words Fail, Music Speaks. We have teamed with Publiczne Gimnazjum Nr5 in Kluczbork, Poland and Scuola Media Statale in Pianiga, Italy. The students have introduced themselves, their schools and their towns using Powerpoint Presentaions.

    This is a real pleasure to work with such an enhusiastic, assiduous and full of fresh ideas partner. I hope our first eTwinning project will be the preface for a long and fruitful cooperation :) Lucyna Dłubak

    I'm not very skilled with technology and this scared me a bit when I started the project but thanks to collaborative friends and partners like Lucyna and Evridiki everything has become easier and very interesting. The exchange has been useful for students and a starting point for a lot of FB friendships. And another important aspect for me is that collaboration isn't limited to E-twinning activities but it means sharing ideas and tools beyond the project. This has been made possible by Evridiki, a talented and passionate teacher, who has offered me to know so many new things and enter this wonderful world full of precious sources for teaching English. In particular, let me say, Evridiki,that the layout is very pleasant and CLEAR and that contents are of high quality. I agree with Lucy, it is a pleasure to work with you and thank you very much for offering me such a fantastic opportunity!

It seems that I have a soft spot for Shel Silverstein's writings.  They are simple yet so rich in meanings and they are always accompanied with straightforward illustrations that make them ideal for children and adults alike. Three years ago I created a short lesson on  The Missing Piece Meets the Big O . This year I made a short video for one of Silverstein's short poems, the  "Zebra Question".  photo by  VIKTOR HANACEK Zebra Question is a poem from the book  A Light in the Attic , published in 1981. It is about a boy who asks a zebra whether it is black with white stripes or white with black stripes. The zebra replies somewhat sassily with an exhaustive list of questions: "Are you good with bad habits? Or are you bad with good habits? Are you noisy with quiet times? Or quiet with noisy times? and on and on and on in a repetitive way. The poem reminds us to look at situations but also at ourselves from different perspectives. Not...

Dead Poets Society Worksheets

The 21st March is  World Poetry Day  and it is an excellent opportunity to show students a film I am particularly fond of (in fact most teachers are): Dead Poets Society. Dead Poets Society   is a 1989 American drama film directed by Peter Weir, written by Tom Schulman, and starring Robin Williams. Set in 1959 at the fictional elite conservative boarding school Welton Academy, it tells the story of an English teacher who inspires his students through his teaching of poetry. There are tons of worksheets out there for both native and EFL students focusing on different aspects of the film. The film itself is very rich in  literature material and can provoke discussions on many issues like poetry, conformity, education, the list goes on.  The following worksheets are inspired by the ones found on the internet so in this sense they are not original. However they are written with my students in mind (ideally 15-18 year olds at B1+ level) and ...
