Copyrighted material like writing taken from books, tv shows, movies, music, etc. are all over the internet. We've all probably done it at one time or another... Especially teachers! Yikes! So here is a site that is great for learning about copyright law. Don't you think that little c with the circle around it is kind of cute?
The other site I'd like talk about is http://www.esl-lesson-plan.com/. I teach ELL (better known as ESL, or English as a second language), so this site is great for me. Carol Rueckert, the ESL teacher who writes this blog, frequently updates her site with lesson planning ideas. Lesson planning can be difficult for me, so I really like reading about her activities and selecting ones that I would like to use. In my favorite one so far, she holds up pictures of celebrity couples who have broken up and asks the students why they think they have split up. Then, they are given the task of writing a dialogue for the couple.
Not only is this lesson plan fun and creative, it also gives the students motivation to write dialogue. If I had the chance, I would like to ask the students to use the written dialogue to role-play the breakup in front of the class. This gives the students a chance to practice writing and speaking, and I get to laugh!
