Title: British Literature Kit for “The Landlady”
Body: From http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/try/resources/britlit/the-landlady ‘The Landlady' is a short story by Roald Dahl. The material in this BritLit Kit is divided into three sections: Pre-reading, Context, and Word Work ‘Pre-reading' (pdf) examines who Billy and the landlady are and asks the students to speculate on what they might look like. This is an essential activity to do before the task of reading the story. After Landlady text (pdf) has been read - or the Landlady Audio 1-4 (mp3) listened to - there are some activities in Landlady Context (pdf) which look at some of the issues that can be explored from the story: the year in which it was set (1959), embalming, taxidermy, witchcraft and a look at some famous poisoners! Landlady Word Work (pdf) takes some aspects of language in use from the text - the use of reflexive pronouns and a ‘glossary' of words and phrases used in the story. You can find the answers to activities and exercises plus some suggestions in Landlady Key (pdf). Access this kit at http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/try/resources/britlit/the-landlady .

Title: Photo Scavenger Hunt: Fun End-of-Year Activity
Body: Two AATG listserv users suggest the following photo scavenger hunt activity: --- Inspired by my seniors' antsiness and general decline in motivation, along with the perennial "can we go outside" question, my French colleague and I devised a photo scavenger hunt. The kids will be directed to bring their digital cameras to school. The students only get ONE camera per group and therefore have to stay together. We give them special "scavenger hunt" hall passes so the student supervisors understand why the entire pack has escaped en masse. Naturally, this list would be auf Deutsch. a student wearing a school t-shirt or sweatshirt a photo of the group with a teacher someone sleeping in study hall a book with a blue cover a picture of an animal (real or cartoon) a food wrapper a student (not in our class) on the internet a phy ed class a musical instrument being played by someone not in our class a secretary out of her office a student at the chalk board a letter or a number all by itself someone in the hall WITH a hall pass someone washing his/her hands someone signing in at the front desk two principals together Havas, L. [AATG-L] Fun End-Of-Year Activity. American Association of Teachers of German listserv (AATG@LISTSERV.IUPUI.EDU, 19 May 2008). --- I just did a Foto-Schnitzeljagd last week with my German 3s. It was a 3-day project that turned out really well. DAY ONE I had six teams of 3 students each. I assigned who was on what team, splitting up friends to avoid the third student being "left out." I got 5 digital cameras from our media center and 1 from our newspaper advisor, so each team of 3 had a camera. I gave out a list in German of 15 items to photograph - each student on the team was to take 5 pictures and be in 10, i.e., if you weren't taking the picture, you were in it. My rule was, however, that no teacher actually teaching a class could be disturbed. I checked with our librarian ahead of time to make sure it was okay for students to come into the library and take pictures. Some of the items could have been done outside, but it was an incredibly windy day here so I told students to use the floor outside our room or by the cafeteria instead. The 16th item was that I would take a photo of the group. DAY TWO We went to the computer lab to download the pictures and print them out in color. I required a 4" x 6" format. We came back to class and cut out all the photos. Each team then had to select 10 photos to put on a display outside our room and write a speech bubble in German to go with it. I have a long cork strip on the wall outside my room. I stapled up a long piece of banner paper, divided it into 6 sections with strips of white paper and labeled each section Team Eins, Team Zwei, etc. I took one group photo from each group which I put in their section on the display outside our room. DAY THREE We finished the speech bubbles and each team then pasted their photos in their allotted area on the display outside our room along with the speech bubbles. And, if I remember correctly, this idea was first mentioned by Rustin Buck a few years ago and I have modeled my instruction sheet after his and used it successfully ever since. Thank you, Rusty.

Title: Book: Vocabulary and Writing in a First and Second Language
Body: From http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?PID=269444 Vocabulary and Writing in a First and Second Language: Processes and Development By Dorte Albrechtsen , Kirsten Haastrup and Birgit Henriksen Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan Summary: This book is based on a large-scale empirical study. The same students were asked to do the same tasks in both languages while reporting their thinking as they went along. Furthermore , they had to undertake the same tasks even though they were of very different experience, ranging from young children at school to university students. Three areas of learners' competencies and skills were explored: vocabulary knowledge, word guessing strategies and writing. The authors further explore the relationship between the skills and describe the level of development for individual learners within the three areas. In all cases, statistical and qualitative analyses are offered, the latter being based on the learners' own 'think-aloud' reports. Both researchers and teachers of language may find this in-depth approach useful in understanding the processes of both first and second language performance.
