Story Starters: Clay Yourself Review

Clay Yourself Smart Board GameClay Yourself is a great smart board game you can play with your class to get them to start writing stories. The way the game works is that the students start with plain set of clay. With this piece of clay they can put ears on it, choose a funny set of eyes for it, put on some funky clothing on it and choose a weird set of hairstyle. After they have moulded their character they get to name it. As a teacher you may then ask the students what type of character this “clay person” is. What food would he or she like? What is his or hers biggest fear? What hobbies does he or she enjoy doing? After these set of questions all students have a visual picture of what their main character looks like. They will be racing off to start their stories, where this clay character, which they built themselves, features. Be prepared for a great set of stories coming to your desk to mark!

Why You Should Study Spanish in Mexico

Learning a language should not be limited inside the classroom, in reading textbooks or in listening to taped lessons. Language is reflected in a country’s culture and what better way to learn it than immersing oneself in a foreign country. One of the languages that young adults want to study is Spanish. There are various Spanish-speaking countries like Spain, Argentina, Rome, and Peru. If you are interested in learning the language at a low-cost country then you should study Spanish in Mexico. The whole country speaks this language so there is a guarantee that you will be immersed in the day-to-day conversations in Spanish. Unlike in the controlled environment of language programs, learning Spanish on the streets of Mexico will teach you the slang, speed and fluency of the natives. Most of all, learning a language from the people makes you aware of the history and culture behind the words and phrases.
