Anchor charts!

Some days ago, while I was reading some posts on facebook groups for teachers I came across this post here https://www.weareteachers.com/anchor-charts-101-why-and-how-to-use-them-plus-100s-of-ideas/ that is about anchor charts. And I wondered ... what is an anchor chart? Lets read!
So I read the article and it reminded me of mini posters I used to create for my students some years ago but there is a difference: an anchor chart is a mini poster the teacher starts then the students finish, or that teacher and students edit together and even better ... students create it for other students to finish. So ... I decided to create a couple of anchor charts for my first and second year students, I brought them to school, presented them to the students and explained they could create some too.
They can be created using some cardboard and colours and/or using ICT.

Here students will add words under each column. 

These pictures will be cut and pasted in the chart above. 

And to my surprise here is the first anchor chart by one of my students! We will work on it tomorrow in class all together.

Here you see anchor charts on grammar but they can be created on any other topic as well. 

Short stories - class I G

Some days ago I published a post about the short stories created by students of class I H and now is the turn of the students of class I G too. 
In both classes we worked in the same way in fact we followed the tips given for the preparation of the Cambridge global story competition you can find at this link http://www.cambridge.org/elt/blog/2017/12/15/enter-story-competition/

This time too the stories have been submitted to the competition and collected in a colourful ebook that you can see below.

Short stories - class I H

Students of class I H of the school "L. Da Vinci - O. Nucula" of Terni created some short stories following the steps suggested from Cambridge University Press within the preparation of the Cambridge global story competition.
(more info here http://www.cambridge.org/elt/blog/2017/12/15/enter-story-competition/)

All the stories have been sent to the competition and we also created a nice ebook and paper book with them so the students will read their stories to their mates at the end or at the beginning of an English lesson.

Here is the ebook.
