Hello, everyone! Here is my work on our first assignment. As you will see, I have created two different sets of tasks as I couldn't decide which one to upload :) The first one is based on the poem "This is just to say..." by William Carlos Williams which I have used as the basis of a lesson on the theme of apologising. The second set focuses on 3 word quotes and can be used as a first lesson/back to school activity.

This is just wonderful. Beautifully done. I am also a fan of William Carlos Williams and the modernists generally. May I have your permission to use this? Thank you for posting this.
ReplyDeleteJust a masterpiece, Maria. Poems are a great sourse for refining any skill.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I wish I was as good at creating materials as you. I have a lot to learn. Glad to be among such creative people.
I love this poem! I think everyone can relate to it and I agree with the others that your worksheet is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLovely poem. Thanks for the sticky note tip. I will definitely be using that!
ReplyDeleteLawrence Mandel Thank you for your kind words! Please, feel free to use it with your learners :)
ReplyDeleteMariia Ruban Thank you so much for your kind, generous words! Creating materials is an on-going learning process for me as well and I feel really happy to be part of this course's learning community! :)
ReplyDeleteMargaret Stafford Thank you so much, Margaret! It's one of my favourite poems actually, so this is why it was the first to come in mind when Katherine mentioned what our first assignment would involve :)
ReplyDeleteGeraldine McIlwaine Thank you, Geraldine, I'm glad you found it useful :)
ReplyDeleteMaria I have just gone through your worksheet and I feel like I have so much to learn! I am so happy to be in this class with creative minds like you! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMiss Alex Thank you so much for your kind words, Alex! I also feel really fortunate to be part of such an inspiring community of teachers! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Maria, I've commented in Google. Thanks for reminding me about that poem - I love it.
ReplyDeleteKatherine Bilsborough Thank you so much for your feedback and suggestions, Katherine! It means a lot :)
ReplyDeleteExciting material - I really love that it's a poem, which is the base of this material. I would love to use it one day when it fits into my lessons
ReplyDeleteLisbeth Birkmose Thank you, Lisbeth. Feel free to use it and let me know how it went :)
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. I've always wanted to use poems more in lessons but often find it difficult find ones that fit well.
ReplyDeleteQuick question: Did you start with poem and build the lesson around it? Or did you start with the idea of apology phrases and then find a poem to match the theme?
Gareth Powell Thank you for your comment, Gareth. I've done both for this poem, but for this particular task I started with the ways we can apologise and then picked the poem.
ReplyDeleteHi Maria. Long time, no see!! :) Loooooved it! Beautiful and very creative. If I was in a classroom now, I'd definitely use it. I would add something for the exercise with the smiley face (something where Ss could use the phrases they come up with).
ReplyDeleteAnastasia Loukeri Thank you so much, Natasa mom :) I see your point about the extra activity, they are indirectly asked to use the expressions in the Writing task but adding a more straightforward task would be useful.
