Week 3




Hey all,
This week I found out about many interesting tools.
I chose to use tools that I haven't used before.
I am going to teach a lesson to 11th graders next week.
It is a reading activity and as pre-reading activities I figured Quizlet and Crossword Puzzle Maker
could help me teach the vocabulary needed for the text in fun and easy ways.
Quizlet is very easy to handle. It finds the pictures for you and enables the students to practice the vocabulary in various fun ways such as flashcards,speller, test etc.
I also used the Crossword Puzzle Maker as can be seen here http://worksheets.theteacherscorner.net/make-your-own/crossword/crossword.php
to further instill the vocabulary to my students.
Both activities turned out to be easy to create and fun and engaging for my students!!!
Along other Apps I've encountered the Text Compactor  and I really can't wait to find
an opportunity to use it in class. It helps you summarize texts in seconds!!
I strongly recommend you to use them... I sure will!

  1. Dear Judas,
    I liked your Quizlet very much. Especially in a world where all you here every day is how everyone should be vegetarian I was more than pleased to see a Quizlet about whether vegetarians kill more animals han meat eaters (Cernivores, such as my burger-eating self). I am proud that you are informing students on the dangers of being a vegetarian. I have up until now distanced myself from Quizlet as it is mainstream and I have never been a fan of anything mainstream, but after your recommendation I believe it is time to change my shallow ways.
    :)
    Thanks buddy.

    1. Dear Aviad,
      I know exactly what you mean!!
      I also felt this way but the
      kids really seem to like it...
      There's nothing we can do about
      it, and if you can't...

  3. Hey Yehuda!
    Nice to meet you!
    I really liked reading your post. It was very informative and well written.
    I didn’t get a chance to try out the tool you mentioned in your post but after reading about them, I will most definitely find the time to try them out. I always look for fun ways to do vocabulary activities and it seems that Quizlet is what I was looking for.
    Thanks,
    Evyatar.
