Shopping List

Dear Children!

You have worked a lot and skillfully so far, so we deserve an eventful rest! For the Easter holidays you will be preparing lots and lots of delicious treats. The recipes are always exciting, but do we know how to properly understand what we need to buy so that the chosen menu can make it to the table? My favorite fruit soup is on page 83 of the green workbook.

I’m not giving homework for the break, but if you feel like it, as an optional extra task write down the list (p. 83, task 1) of what you would need if you wanted to make it? If you finish, take a photo and send it to me, and I’ll write you a nice grade right away!

If you’re even braver and really like this task, and you have time, you can also surprise me with your own favorite recipe, and I won’t be slow with a great evaluation either.

Rest a lot, recharge during the break, this is the mandatory task :)!

With much love, I wish good health to everyone in the family!

Step VII

Active Learner

Hi there online!

Now we can work together on this platform, but this will be just as good a game as the material of every lesson so far! 🙂

Open your workbook to Step VII, that is, the tasks on pages 18-19!

Our material:

I. Review:

Do you remember that in previous lessons we talked about how there’s no “good student” and “bad student”, there is only STUDENT! Whoever learns will be successful, they are the student, because they work on their tasks. Whoever doesn’t learn doesn’t reach their goals, because they don’t put in the necessary work.

We are STUDENTS, meaning we take steps toward our goals, we consciously build up our tasks, as the playful tasks below also show!

II. This week’s topic:

The ACTIVE LEARNER

I ask you to look at the tasks on page 18 as a whole, because the answer is hiding somewhere in the question!

Tasks to solve: page 18/tasks 1, 2, 3, and page 19/task 4.

Read the part next to the “A little hint” pictogram, which talks about approaching the material from different points of view, drawing, thinking, not memorizing the information, but trying to make it feel real for yourself, looking for connections to other subjects!

The keywords of the crossword puzzle are all characteristics of the active learning process, and they help you fill in the bubble task on page 19.

The part next to the TMT pictogram is the “Truth carved in stone” – copy it onto a note and put it somewhere visible for yourself, so you never forget it while you’re studying!

I wish you happy playing and learning!

How the Brain Hemispheres Work

Playful Stepping Stones – Interactive Learning Methodology

Hi there online!

Today’s material will be even more exciting, but let’s not jump ahead that much! It’ll be a good game, aren’t you curious too? 🙂

Open your workbook to Step VIII, that is, the tasks on pages 20-21!

Today’s material:

I. Review:

In previous lessons we talked about how there’s no “good student” and “bad student”, there is only STUDENT! Whoever learns will be successful, they are the student, because they work on their tasks. Whoever doesn’t learn doesn’t reach their goals, because they don’t put in the necessary work!

Some of you wrote that you couldn’t find a word or two in the crossword puzzle! It was a creative solution that the second puzzle hid the answers to the first, and vice versa. You can see it here!

 

II. New material

How the brain hemispheres work

1. I ask you to watch the short video below for task 1 and 2 on page 20! If you’re brave, try to solve task 1 before the video; if you’re unsure, watch the video above for the solution!

2. In the next short video I explain task 4, 1 and 2 on page 21!

It’s really funny, watch it, then write down what you observed for task 5.

I wish you happy playing and learning!

Step VI

Step VI

Good Student? Bad Student?

Hi there online!

Now we can work together on this platform, but this will be just as good a game as the material of every lesson so far!

Open your workbook to Step VI, that is, the tasks on pages 16-17!

Our material:

I. Review:

Do you remember that in previous lessons we talked about what kind of learning style everyone represents? Where do you belong?

II. Our new topic

Good student? Bad student? STUDENT

The central question: What is a good student like, and what is a bad student like? Let’s talk about it!

If you ask me, I’d say we all know there’s no “good student” and “bad student”, there is only STUDENT! Whoever learns will be successful, they are the student, because they work on their tasks. Whoever doesn’t learn doesn’t reach their goals, because they don’t put in the necessary work.

And we are STUDENTS, meaning we take steps toward our goals, we consciously build up our tasks, our future, as the playful tasks below also show!

THE STUDENT

I ask you to read the text on pages 16-17! The solution to task 2 is hiding right there in the text, you just need a little idea to come up with good answers.

Task to solve, then: page 17/task 2

Underline with a red pencil the characteristics that you think belong to the bad student. Then in green underline the ones that you think are characteristics of the good student! You learned about verbal and non-verbal expressions in grammar class this year, but to make sure you understand the task, let me remind you:

– verbal (spoken) markers, for example: words, phrases, sentences that the student uses,

– non-verbal (non-spoken) markers, for example metacommunicative tools: posture, stress, intonation, facial expressions, gaze, gestures.

 Task: Fill in the table on page 17 based on the underlined red and green data! We will check it at the beginning of our next lesson.

The structure of the “Learning Self-Awareness Program”

 

Phase 0: completing a learning-diagnostic questionnaire through the learning development program, jointly evaluating the results obtained, planning the pace of the joint work, getting to know learning types, the functioning of the brain hemispheres, „bridge-building”

Phase 1: individual work: reviewing the organizational-learning environment, mastering quality background organization and the technique of conscious planning, (in the case of a group, through cooperative work) „creating” the ideal learning environment, optimal time management in both life and learning

Phase 2: examining the first stage of learning in small-group development: ways of receiving incoming information, processing written and heard text, keyword note-taking, reading-technique development

Phase 3: small-group joint work: possible ways of processing written or heard learning material, e.g.: keyword note-taking, creating acronyms, encoding-decoding, “What do teachers ask?”, „What’s on a good cheat sheet?” (filtering direct and indirect information), creating and interpreting diagrams and tables, mind maps

Phase 4: small-group work: output phase, oral answering, test writing, conscious handling of verbal and non-verbal signs, successful self-definition

Phase 5: managing exam anxiety

Phase 6: eye exercises (reducing the harmful effects of monitor and phone screens)

Phase 7: individual work: regular self-monitoring using the opening assessment, evaluation of the joint work, organizing follow-up meetings, tracking progress based on individual discussion

Dates of the planned programs

On request, continuously until 2023.12.31

Starting group size: 4-6 people/group
