Project #4 C4T

 The teachers blog I had to comment on was Eva Buyuksimkesyan titled A Journey in TEEL. I really enjoyed reading her blog. She is a English teacher and has been teaching for 20 years. Her posts were very interesting and she seems like she really loves literature and teaching. I will continue to view her blog after this class, so informative!


Grammar Games ~ Time Clause Game

 Eva came up with the idea of a grammar game that will help students. This game deals with flash cards. You get two different colored flash cards such as yellow and orange. On the yellow cards you write activities and on the orange cards you write a conjunction used in a time clause. You divide the class in two and draw a tic-tac-toe grid on the board and play the game. 

My Response

 I think this is a great game especially for younger children. It will make them think and it sounds fun putting together different sentences. And also get kids to interact with classmates!





Creativity Technology

 This post was about a project that is going on in Kampala, Uganda called the The Daylight Project. This project consists of people in the community teaming up with an organization that helps provide a basic need in there homes which is lighting in a easy and natural way. The reason that many of these homes do not have electricity is due to maximizing privacy, security reasons, and to stop infestation of pests. The way this works is putting water and bleach into a plastic water bottle. Second, they cut a hole into a small piece of metal and place the bottle inside. They use silicone to keep the bottle in place then it is put on the roof of the house. The light coming from the bottle will distribute the house evenly. This is an inexpensive project and will help many people in Uganda. 

My Response

  I really enjoyed reading this post! It was really intriguing. It is so inspiring how something so simple can help so many people. I agree with you on your statement on how children are so materialistic these days when these people do not have basic electricity! The smile on their faces made me realize how good people have it here in the United States.
