Weblinks: EL Teaching & Learning Resources (Meera)



The Differentiator
This is an extremely useful tool for student and beginning teachers as it allows us to be clear on the objectives of any lesson that we set for our students. It also uses Bloom’s taxonomy as a framework and ensures that our objectives are specific and clearly set. It is also very easy to use and requires only a few clicks.



Awesome Stories
Say goodbye to hours spent combing the World Wide Web for appropriate stories! This site has stories arranged according to topics and themes and is an excellent resource for comprehension pieces or even reading activities. Better still, teachers can use the stories to teach grammar.



English Online
This is just an additional site that I thought teachers might find useful. It has lesson plans on various topics, including LangLit and Language Arts. We might choose to adapt some of the activities for our own students as some are rather engaging.

  1. Thanks Meera for providing resources that can be used by both teachers (English Online and The Differentiator) and students (Awesome Stories).

    I would personally use Awesome Stories to not only create comprehension passages, especially for lower ability students, but also as multi-modal texts to stimulate reader-response answers which is so hot in lang arts schools these days.

    yeay! i <3 Awesome Stories
