Lernen ohne Lernen! - Activity Journals für Eltern

Liebe Eltern!

Zu oft wird Englisch als reines „Fach in der Schule“ von den HTL-SchülerInnen unterschätzt.  Tatsächlich gibt es in anderen Fächern kaum so viele Möglichkeiten, zu Hause zu „lernen ohne Lernen“: Videos, DVDs, Bücher, Artikel, Musik, Memes, usw.  Schüler, die sich mit Englisch außerhalb der Schule beschäftigen, haben natürlich bessere Englischkenntnisse und bessere Noten.  Mit nur zwei Wochenstunden in der Schule ist es zwingend erforderlich, unseren Schülern das bewusst zu machen.

Zu diesem Zweck haben die Schüler in diesem Schuljahr eine Aufgabe, die zur schriftlichen Mitarbeit zählt.  Sie sollten Aktivitäten auf Englisch unternehmen und kurze Berichte darüber schreiben.  Sie haben eine lange Liste von Aktivitäten, die sie auswählen können,  um Hörverständnis, Leseverständnis, Sprechen und Schreiben zu üben.  Die Berichte sind als Tagebuch zu verfassen (Schulquart oder A5-Heft, liniert mit Korrekturrand) und jeder Schüler/jede Schülerin sollte mindestens 10 Berichte pro Semester (je mehr, desto besser!)  über verschiedene Aktivitäten schreiben.  Ein Bericht besteht aus 100+ Wörtern ( ca. 10 Sätze).  Die Schüler können zusätzliche Aktivitäten im Blog (https://ennsvalleyenglish.blogspot.co.at/p/ideas-for-english-activity-journal.html) finden. 

Dieses English Activity Journal beträgt 30% der Mitarbeitsnote. Ich bedanke mich bei Ihnen im Voraus für die Unterstützung zu Hause!

Man eats 30000 Big Macs - Makes Guiness Book of World Records

Fortnite Video Game Taking over the World
IDEAS TO GET YOU THINKING:  Summarize the article in your own words.  Do you play Fortnite? How many hours a week do you play?   Are you addicted to it?  What makes it a great game? Do you speak English with other players? Do you play any other video/computer games?

Most Trump Voters think he's lying about Stormi Daniels - and they don't care
IDEAS TO GET YOU THINKING:  Summarize the article in your own words.  Is it okay for the leader of a nation to lie about anything?  Do you think little white lies lead to bigger lies?  Describe the last time you lied - was is okay to tell that lie? Did you get away with it or did you get caught? If you got caught - what were the consequences?

RELATED: Saturday Night Live pokes fun at President Trump (includes video link!)
You'll need to know a little about the following:  President Trump's affair with porn star Stormi Daniels, President Trump's doctor, and Trump's family life

Trump spoke at an NRA convention - the Secret Service banned guns because of "security concerns"
IDEAS TO GET YOU THINKING:  The United States loves its guns, and the NRA will do anything to protect gun rights.  Do you think banning guns at the NRA convention was a step towards gun control?  Why or why not?
