Creative Writing Time!
I suppose everyone had an experience of being lost before starting to write a speech: all your bright ideas fade away, you find yourself an excuse to do it later and so on.
And now there is a way out, some tips to make your brain work a get yourself prepared:
And now there is a way out, some tips to make your brain work a get yourself prepared:
- One letter
So the words are: bycicle, beans, bright, bargain, beautiful, book, balloon, beaf, breakfast, basket,
- Random words
The website https://www.textfixer.com/tools/random-words.php will help me to create these words.
I've been to the jungle and I saw an animal, apparently it was an iguana, which is a good murderer because I could see a lot of preys. Fortunately, I was smart enough not to come close to it, and I put a grid to catch it.

What if...
What if there were no desks in the clasrooms, but only beanbags?
- It would be much more comfortable for everyone to sit and the climate in the classroom would become friendlier.
- Children would not hurt themselfs by bumping into them.
- There would be no need in putting chairs up on the desks.
- As soon as it's impossible to write anything at all I would talk to children more.
- If anyone is tired he can relax on the beanbag.
- Children would be more enthusiastic because of something odd.
- Beanbags would open some opportunities for the games as a leisure activity after hard work.
- Thinking Hats
This method helps to look at the topic from different sides, to see the problem from all the points of view.
"How many foreign languages should be taught to students in school?"
- White thinking hat (covers facts, figures, information needs and gaps) : As soon as children can differenciate letters and sounds at ealry age and from the psychological point of view we can start teaching children a native language and one foreing from the very young age.
- Red thinking hat (covers intuition, feelings, emotions): I think that the best way of teaching languages is to start from the very first day of their lifes, one parent speaks Russian only, for example and second parent speaks only English so that in school children would be able to learn even more languages.
- Black thinking hat (the hat of judgement and logic) : It's all about the wish and will of children, it can turn out to be impossible to persuade them to study languages or to study at all.
- Yellow thinking hat (the hat of optimism, why everything should work) : It will work because there is no escape these days from languages, you meet them everyday in everything you do, so if you start your friendship with languages earlier (lots of languages!), you will succeed sooner.
- Green thinking hat (creativity) : It's been a long time enough for children to study only one foreign language, I think we need to change it by giving an option to study extra language for free, and those who wish can do it.
- Blue thinking hat (overview, analysis) : I think it quite makes sense, seems to be logical and with some new ideas, probably it might have a success in future.
Hey! Thank you for your ideas. You certainly did well today.
