1. SEVEN x SEVEN

Research show that you must see/use a word seven times in seven ways to learn it.

2.SPACING

It is better to learn a little every day than all the day before the test!

3. WORD CARDS

Make cards of new vocabulary, write the English on one side, and a picture, phrase, or translation on the back.

4. TESTING

Testing is one of the best ways to learn, fold the list and write the words, ask a friend or parent to test you – NOT in the order on the list!

5. ROUTINE

Try to develop a routine where you learn your vocab at the same time every day, stick the list n the bathroom when you clean your teeth, or in the car on the way to work.

REMEMBER – practice makes perfect!

Skateboarding in the summer is better,
because you’re a lot happpier.
You can do plenty f complicated tricks;
of which you can take lots of pics.

When you become good at the ramps,
you can handle all the skateboard camps.
Landing a new trick is really the best,
because every time you’re down you pass the test.

When I see the pros,
my heart starts to beat,
I want to be like them
from my head to my feet.

So, skating is my thing and I’m going to go slide,
to my school, to my home, I’m going to love my ride.

Last year the « anglophone » class enjoyed studying Shakespeare so much I wrote to Brendan Kelso, the author of the Shakespeare for kids series.

He saw how much fun we’d had and decided to use the photo I sent him in his new project, which you can find here: 

I think it’s a great idea and can’t wait to start our next project – Charles Dickens’ « Oliver ».
