I just wanted to write to you all and say thank you for all the effort you put in this year. I have really enjoyed teaching your class and getting to know each and every one of you.<br />
<br />
You are all amazing people who have bright futures ahead of you. I believe that each and every one of you are capable of gaining Excellence endorsements next year. I'll be checking to make sure you do! You should all be getting Excellence subject endorsements for English, so make sure you put the effort in and make me proud.<br />
<br />
Next year I am going to be upstairs in Ah 12, so pop in for a chat and let me know how things are going.<br />
<br />
To Bonnie and Venus - I am going to miss you two a lot! I've loved teaching you these past two years and wish you all the best at your new schools. Keep in touch!<br />
<br />
I've just set up a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Alfriston-College/340466106060707" target="_blank">facebook page for Alfriston College</a>, so if you are on facebook give that a like to keep up to date with all our latest successes and news (as I said, I just set it up, so the number of current 'likes' is a little sad).<br />
<br />
So, best wishes everyone. Have a happy and safe holidays. Merry Christmas!</div>

<br />
Next term we are going to be learning about Shakespeare and study his play Romeo and Juliet.<br />
<br />
During the holidays I want you to conduct research about Shakespeare (his life, his plays, the theatre they were performed in) and the times he lived in (what people believed, the political climate).<br />
You can present your information however you choose, but it must display what you have learnt.</div>

And I am away at a funeral tomorrow, so please be lovely for the reliever.<br />
I expect to see some decent looking newspapers when I turn up to work on Monday morning!<br />
<br />
Magazine people: try get some work done on your pages if possible. I've left the USB's in the glass on my desk. Make sure they get returned and not left in the computers!<br />
<br />
A few of you have essays that need to be handed in to me. Please get the reliever to put them in the clear file pocket that they have with the lesson outline in it, so I can mark them on Monday.<br />
<br />
One other thing, can you click on your blog title in your dashboard, go to settings in the menu on the left and in there click on 'posts and comments'. In here, can you find where it says 'word verification' and change the setting to 'no' then save it. It's really annoying having to type all the silly words out every time I want to leave a comment on your blogs.<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend.</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
This week I want you to use <a href="http://www.screenr.com/" target="_blank">Screenr</a> and teach people something that you can do on the computer.<br />
<br />
It might be something like writing a blog post, using one of the web tools we've tried out, adding a video to your blog, creating a photo collage, using photoshop etc. If you have an idea that you are unsure about, leave a comment about it and I will get back to you. <br />
<br />
Make your screenr video and post it up on your blog - you can grab an embed code, just change the width to suit your blog (450 - 500 px will be good on most your blogs). You need to talk and explain what you are doing. You need to be professional - it should be something appropriate to show other teachers and students.<br />
<br />
Usually in Year 11 you have to give a speech teaching the class something so think of it as practise for that!<br />
<br />
Here's an example <a href="http://www.screenr.com/" target="_blank">Screenr</a> video I made to teach other staff about Moodle: <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe frameborder="0" height="274" src="http://www.screenr.com/embed/9Su8" width="450"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
If you are having trouble, try using <a href="http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html" target="_blank">Jing</a> or <a href="http://www.screencast.com/" target="_blank">Screencast</a>:<br />
http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html<br />
http://www.screencast.com/<br />
<br />
I personally haven't used them, but they appear to be similar.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks for your poems. If you haven't got one up yet, please get onto that asap. I will be entering them tomorrow (Thursday).
<br />
If you wrote about a current AC teacher the other week, I flicked them the link to your blog. I hope you don't mind; they were very appreciative :) </div>

Due 29/8 <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Most of you didn't update our <a href="http://wallwisher.com/wall/10IMNEnglish" target="_blank">Wallwisher</a> which was last week's home learning. It seriously takes 2mins max, so please do this.<br />
<br />
This week's home learning is to nominate your most inspiring teacher for the<a href="http://www.nzinspiringteachers.co.nz/" target="_blank"> Warehouse Stationery competition</a> that is running.<br />
<br />
<b>On your blog</b>: write about who you nominated and why. Put forward your argument about why they should win. This could be a couple of paragraphs, a thank you letter to them, a prezi presentation, a voki presentation, a glogster poster - it's really up to you :)<br />

Using the start above, write a piece about the Olympic Games. You will need to conduct some research and give your own opinion about events.<br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">You can do this by yourself, in pairs, a group - I don't mind.</span><br />
<br />
You could make a movie about your holidays, re-make a music video, come up with your own script for a short film, make a mini documentary or a montage of photos to music (you can check out the pretty average videos that I have made for my blog <a href="https://vimeo.com/user8034277" target="_blank">on vimeo</a> if you don't know what I mean).<br />
<br />
It's easy to put together movies in <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-live/movie-maker-get-started" target="_blank">Movie Maker</a>, which is free to download. <br />
Once you have made your movie upload it to You Tube or Vimeo - you can make it private so the rest of the world can't see it if you wish.<br />
<br />
Grab the embed code for your video off the site you have uploaded it to and pop it onto your blog so I can check your awesome work.<br />
<br />
Now, if you are having trouble with any of these things, let me know and I will try help out. However, there are heaps of tutorials available on line. Just use google.<br />

I'm giving you a week off. I am behind with marking your work (my sincerest apologies) and I don't think it is fair that I give you more to do when it won't be looked at.<br />
<br />
You could use it to:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Do your science fair projects.</li>
<li>Read a book or magazine for your own enjoyment.</li>
<li>Start up a blog on a topic you like, or keep a journal.</li>
<li>Make me something nice.</li>
<li>Learn French by podcast (coffee break French is quite good)</li>
<li>Go for a walk or run.</li>
<li>Find out what writing competitions are happening and enter them.</li>
<li>Look up some of the 'instruction' posts done by other learners in the class this year and make something for your family.</li>
</ul>

Hello,<br />
<br />
Just a reminder that your <a href="http://acemisskelly.blogspot.co.nz/2012/05/3-day-episodes-due-66.html" target="_blank">3 day ep idea home learning</a> is due today.<br />
<br />
How are we going with the <a href="http://acemisskelly.blogspot.co.nz/2012/05/collaborative-story-due-136.html" target="_blank">collaborative stories</a>? There should be 2 -3 pieces of the chain completed by now. Email me if someone in your group is holding the process up.<br />
If you've read this - annoy the rest of the class to get theirs done. Text them. Message them on facebook.<br />
I will give out a prize to the group who gets the task completed first. Someone from the group send me an email when it is done.<br />
<br />
If you're at home twiddling your thumbs with nothing to do, why don't you go to the local library. Check out the <a href="http://wallwisher.com/wall/10IMNEnglish" target="_blank">wallwisher</a> that we put together earlier in the year for good book suggestions.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the last of your five days off. I'm about to go to more meetings and hopefully learn some interesting things. See you on Friday.<br />

Your task this week is to come up with your own 3 Day Episode that could run next time we have them at school.<br />
<br />
What would you call it?<br />
What would you do each day?<br />
Is there a trip?<br />
How much does it cost?<br />
What independent learning qualities will people develop?<br />
<br />
Post up your plan and include pictures that illustrate the type of learning that might take place during your 3 Day Episode.<br />
<br />
<br />
I will try get you feedback on your stories from last week soon. We'll get them ready to be submitted for the competition before it closes :)</div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03062006389649189376noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7598034908453963772.post-74499343170619948982012-05-09T20:42:00.002+12:002012-05-09T20:42:44.993+12:00Home learning Due 23/5<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Your home learning for the next two weeks is to write a short story to enter into the <a href="http://www.bnz.co.nz/about-us/sponsorships/bnz-literary-awards#source=RD+literaryawards" target="_blank">BNZ Literary Awards for the Young Writers category.</a><br />
<br />
You can read about the competition<a href="http://www.bnz.co.nz/about-us/sponsorships/bnz-literary-awards#source=RD+literaryawards" target="_blank"> here</a>.<br />
I expect to see something next week when your home learning is usually due in so that I know you have made a decent start (or get a completed draft done so I can give you feed back and then you can spend the next week fixing it up).<br />
<br />
If you have no idea where to start I have some story spinners you can use in class to give you prompts (pop in as I don't see you guys for a while) or try googling writing ideas or story starters.</div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03062006389649189376noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7598034908453963772.post-81371692804613100002012-05-04T15:44:00.001+12:002012-05-04T15:44:42.288+12:00What other blogs are there? Due 9/5<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
This week I want you to have a search around on the internet and find some other blogs to read.<br />
If you like them, follow them so you get a little update on your blogger home page when you log in.<br />
<br />
If you choose to follow the other blogs publicly, they will show up in a list on your blogger profile. Looking at other people's profiles might be a good way to find some new blogs to look at :)<br />
Sometimes bloggers have a list of blogs they like on the side of their site and you might find some cools sites that way too.<br />
Bloglovin is a great site for following blogs and finding new ones too.<br />
Or, you could do a classic google search.<br />
<br />
Write a summarising 3 - 5 blogs you follow to tell the rest of the class about them. Here's a little mock up of the type of thing I am after using my baking one as an example:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bakingmakesthingsbetter.com/">Baking Makes Things Better</a><br />
Baking Makes Things Better is a baking blog run by two friends, Melissa and Courtenay. They met each other at university before they both got jobs teaching English at the same school. While they were working together Melissa set up a shared baking blog and although Courtenay has since moved out of Auckland they both continue to contribute to it. Each week they post up new recipes and photos of things they have tried out. I like Baking Makes Things Better because the food looks delicious, the content is regularly updated and the authors usually write a little paragraph before they post up the recipe. I would recommend this blog to anyone who likes baking or eating sweet food. You can find their <a href="http://www.bakingmakesthingsbetter.com/">blog here</a> or check out their<a href="http://www.facebook.com/bmtbblog"> facebook page here</a>.<br />
