פתיח להורים
הורים יקרים,
אנו יוצאים לדרך בפרויקט ייחודי לעידוד הדיבור בשפה האנגלית.
במהלך השנה, אשלח לכם מפעם לפעם את "שיחת החודש".
הקשיבו עם ילדיכם ותתאמנו בכיף במשחק תפקידים.
אתם מוזמנים גם לשלוח לי ישירות לוואטס אפ שלי: _________ או להשיב בקבוצה זו (זה מגיע רק אלי)
תקליטו, ציינו את שמותיכם, ובעיקר תיהנו!
ניתן לצלם קליפ, ולהרחיב את השיחה לפי רצונכם .
בהצלחה!
מלורי רוט
מורה לאנגלית🌷
Guidelines: Important Things for Teachers to Remember:
☞ Speak first to your principal and the home room teacher of the specific class you choose for the project.
☞ Remember to open up a contact list for the parents' WhatsApp: הפצה בלבד /קבוצה לשידור.
Parents must have your cell number in their contact list to receive your messages!
☞ If you create your own dialogues, be sure that your pronunciation is correct, there are no errors nor awkward language.
☞ Always introduce and practice the scenarios in class before sending home.
☞ Encourage your pupils to respond and to send you their taped conversations or clips.
☞ Praise your pupils efforts and what he/she did well and avoid correction in your recorded feedback.
☞ Keep it fun! Try to avoid grading the students. The Speak UP Train ticket can
also provide additional incentive!
☞ Stay in touch! Share with pride the work of your students so that others can learn from your hard work. Send directly to my cell: 054-5627043 or to the Speak Up Program E-mail
☞ And one last important thing:
Enjoy the materials and use them freely in your classrooms.
Please do not upload to Facebook, or any other social media sites ( including teacher sites), or
present in any forum, without my explicit knowledge and permission!
