Very interesting resource to learn about writing and recording for the radio:http://www.24hdansuneredaction.com/en/radio-en/
Example of a teen radio station: http://www.teentalkradio.org/index.php
Useful expressions for a radio programmeToolbox 1: Writing article
The main purpose is to inform, interest and engage the reader, so there should be some opinions or comments and not only facts about your topic. Do some research on your topic first. Don't forget to cite the sources in your article! You can also create a survey to collect other partners' opinions and later analyse the results.
General structure
- Give your article a title or headline which makes the subject clear and also catches the reader’s attention.
- Begin with an interesting introduction – an example, perhaps, or a question. Although you don't know the readers personally, you can address them directly and ask them a rhetorical question. It helps to involve them.
- Divide the article into paragraphs to help the reader follow the argument. Include a topic idea in each paragraph.
- Give examples where appropriate to bring your article to life.
- Use a personal or more neutral style, but not formal (you might use contractions).
- To illustrate your article, include your own photos or images which are copyright free images citing the authors correctly.
- Give a conclusion or a summary with an overall comment in the last paragraph.

WebQuests
- Metoda Webquest, która została zbudowana w oparciu o metodę projektu, również dąży do zmobilizowania ucznia do samodzielnej pracy, aktywizuje go. Jest to nowatorska metoda pracy z uczniami wykorzystująca technologię informacyjną. Jej twórcą jest Bernie Dodge - Profesor Educational Technology z San Diego University, który zbudował ją w oparciu o założenia konstruktywizmu (kierunek w psychologii, który zakłada twórczą aktywność ucznia). Uczy ona nie tylko ukierunkowanego poszukiwania informacji, ale również ich przetwarzania, pozwala na doskonalenie umiejętności rozwiązywania problemów, krytycznego i twórczego myślenia, współpracy w zespole. Dla metody Webquest'u, podobnie jak dla metody projektu, ważniejsze od tego, by uczeń posiadał encyklopedyczną wiedzę, jest to by umiał komunikować się z innymi, współpracować w grupie, negocjować, poszukiwać informacji na dany temat, selekcjonować je i opracowywać. Obie metody stawiają na twórcze myślenie i kreatywność ucznia. Oprócz charakteru dydaktycznego mają też cel wychowawczy, gdyż jak już wyżej zostało powiedziane, uczą współpracy, umiejętności tworzenia jednego produktu finalnego z elementów przygotowanych przez członków grupy, komunikowania się, ale i odpowiedzialności za siebie i innych, kierowania i organizowania warsztatu pracy. Dla tworzenia Webquest'ów została określona metodologia ich tworzenia oraz wewnętrzna struktura.

READING HOMEWORK 1: About memory - Dr Fiona McPherson http://www.memory-key.com/
LEARNING TO LEARN
Studying is not absorbing
It’s producing. It’s work. It’s creating, and understanding, and explaining, and re-grouping ideas.
Principles for enhancing memory & learning: link
1. Understanding and Remembering – Students need to be taught the relationship and differences between understanding and remembering. That is, they need to know that simply sitting in class and understanding the information their teachers present in discussions and/or lectures or understanding what they read in their textbooks is usually not enough to enable them to perform well on traditional tests. They must also engage in some activity for the purpose of enabling them to remember what they understand.
2. Activation of Prior Knowledge – When students are learning new information, teachers should activate their prior knowledge about the subject being taught. This may be accomplished by asking students two questions. The first is, “What do you know about...?” The second is, “What do you want to know about...?” Activating prior knowledge about a topic provides students with a “hook” to hang the new information on in their mental memory network.

YOU SHOULDN"T JUST CRAM
Tough studying makes easy tests
STUDY THE RIGHT WAY
Based on the research, here are some applicable studying tricks:
- STUDY AHEAD OF TIME: Study a little of each subject every day; space it out. Don’t cram!
- Practice different types of problems in a jumbled order, so you’re not doing the same kind of problem all in one go!
- Test yourself, and take as many practice tests as are available. Practice questions help too!
- While studying, ask yourself: “Why is this true? How did it happen?” Then try to answer those questions.
- Also ask, “Did I know this information already? Does it make sense to me? Is this something new?”
- To do the above, you can make flashcards. Study some flashcards for each subject every single day, and randomize the order, etc. You can also make a few "question" flashcards—i.e. "Why was the previous fact significant?" or "How does this relate to what I know?"—and toss them into the stack, to periodically remind yourself to engage in deeper thoughts about the concepts.
Teachers: often use instructional practices known to be wrong (i.e.,massing rather than interleaving examples to explain a topic). Use interlieaved not massive practice
Three general principles to improve learning:
(1) distribution (spacing and interleaving (working on multiple skills in parallel) of practice in learning facts and skills;
(2) retrieval practice (via self testing) for durable learning
(3) explanatory questioning (elaborative interrogationand self-explanation) as a study strategy.
teaching for thinking” and “teaching for facts,” (2) retrieval

Tips for studying
It's sad to say that students of today are still stuck with archaic study methods of the 18th century and applying them in the 21st century. As a result, they always find it hard to study!
They don't realize that the best studying strategy is to study smart, by incorporating new and better ways of studying.
At the end of a class, always do a quick Recap, Review and Reinforce, preferably with mnemonics - this is called the 3R's strategy.
Science says 80% of your information intake is lost if you do not execute this initiative within 24 hours;
Exams: to beat them in the game, you got to learn to master the technique of doing a "surgical cut" of the exam questions at first glance, no matter how they are phrased.

2. Don't sacrify sleepto have work done
4. Stay active to keep brain in good condition
5. If you really wanna learn something, explain it.

CRITICAL THINKING
Critical thinking- TEST 1
http://www.macmillanenglish.com/life-skills/critical-thinking/
The ability to apply critical reasoning, evaluate information from different sources and analyse the logic behind arguments are crucial skills in academic life. For students preparing for university, a focus on developing strong critical thinking skills is now seen as essential as a solid foundation for academic success.
Real life problems:
Which credit card deal is best for me?
"What's the best credit card deal for me?"
"What's the fastest route home to avaid trafic?"
"Should I buy or rent?"
"If you could live anywhere in the world, where it would be? Use data in your justification.
"What are the top rated jobs in our country."
WHich politician should I vote for?
What is Critical Thinking? How can we bring critical thinking into our classroom?
Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and rationally, understanding the logical connection between ideas.
Find more at: http://www.skillsyouneed.com/learn/critical-thinking.html#ixzz4KQpiVnCr
The skills that we need in order to be able to think critically are varied and include
- observation,
- analysis,
- interpretation,
- reflection,
- evaluation,
- inference,
- explanation,
- problem solving,
- decision making.
Specifically we need to be able to:
- Think about a topic or issue in an objective and critical way.
- Identify the different arguments there are in relation to a particular issue.
- Evaluate a point of view to determine how strong or valid it is.
- Recognise any weaknesses or negative points that there are in the evidence or argument.
- Notice what implications there might be behind a statement or argument.
- Provide structured reasoning and support for an argument that we wish to make.
Critical thinking and problem solving
DICTOGLOSS - Listening is important. Collaboration is important. Writing is important.Dictoglosses combine all of these these things to keep students' brains working in a foreign language.
What is a dictogloss?
Dictoglosses are essentially dictation exercises where students work together to recreate a text. The process is normally as such:
1. The teacher reads a text. Students listen. They do not take notes. They just listen.
2. The students INDIVIDUALLY write down as much of the story as they can remember. They can use pictures, abbreviations, other words, blanks or anything else that will help them if they don't recall the specifics.
3. (optional) The text is read again. Students do NOT write while the teacher is speaking. When the teacher finishes, they make changes as needed to their version. (I prefer to skip this step and go straight to 4, but some teachers find their classes don't have much to share unless this step is used. You know your classroom best so do what you think will work!)
4. The students pair up with a friend and together try to combine their versions to get the version as close to the original as possible.
Students put down their pens and the teacher reads the text one last time.
5. The students get a few more moments to write their final version (combine pairs at this point to make a group of 4 working together on the final version).
6. The students write and posts it on the board. Then students to circulate and mark any mistakes they see (misspelled words, bad punctuation etc.) or.........pass the paper to the right/left and then the teacher reads the reading again and they correct the paper.
7. The team with the fewest mistakes gets a prize of some sort - free homework passes, etc.)
