Kreativna radionica sa Emom Fik


Američki kutak će ugostiti mladu američku umetnicu, Emu Fik, koja će održati kreativnu radionicu ilustracija pod nazivom „Snippets", u četvrtak 20. novembra u 18 časova.

Ideja za ove radionice proistekla je iz većeg projekta pod nazivom „Snippets of Serbia" koji predstavlja grafički narativ o srpskoj kulturi. Projekat beleži srpski identitet kroz ilustracije detalja, a kada se posmatra kao celina dobija se kompletna slika života u Srbiji iz perspektive jedne amerikanke.

Ema Fik je diplomirala na odseku za Englesku književnost i istoriju umetnosti na Univerzitetu u Alabami. Trenutno, Ema boravi u Srbiji kao stipendista Fulbrajt programa.


Kreativne radionice će se sastojati od dve komponente: prezentacije i ilustracije. Učenici će napraviti sopstvene „Snippets of Serbia" i „Snippets of America" koristeći svoje znanje o obe kulture. Crtaće ono što veruju da predstavlja određenu kulturu, na kraju svake radionice, 15-20 učenika će prezentovati svoje crteže i ideju iza crteža svim prisutnima.


Ukoliko ste zainteresovani da učestvujete u ovim radionicama, javite nam se putem mejla: kragujevac@americancorners.rs ili telefonom 034-208887

Student Blogging Challenge

Getting organized

Welcome to the organizational post for the 13th Student Blogging Challenge.

The first challenges will be published on September 14, 2014.

Registration forms for classes and students have already been published. These were each on a separate post with a Google form asking for certain information. Once you have registered as a class or student, you will be able to visit the participant pages which will be found in the header area of this blog as well as below here.
Class registration – Teachers only to fill in this form with their homeclass blog
Class participants
Student registration – Students with their own individual blog which might be part of a course you are taking
Student participation

We will be having a badge again that can be added to your blog. Read this post by the Edublogs team about how to add the badge to your sidebar. Depending upon the blogging platform you use, the text box or image widget might have a different name.

Can visitors leave comments and read posts on your blog?

You might think they can but try this. Go to your blog but don’t login. Most of your visitors wont be logging in. Can they read your posts? Now try to leave a comment on a post. Can you leave a comment? If you cant read a post or comment without logging in, then neither can your visitors. Check with your teacher about the settings you might need to change. This post from last September challenge shows how to change privacy settings on edublogs, kidblog and blogger platforms.

Are you on the student list only once? Are you on the correct list?

Each challenge we don’t always have enough mentors to cover all students registered, so please check that you’re only on the list once. The list is found in the header area on the challenge blog. This is where you go to visit other student or class blogs. If you are on there more than once or in the wrong age group, leave me a comment on that page giving me first name, age, URL and what is wrong and I will make corrections on the spreadsheet.

How are you going to know when the challenge is published each week?

One way of being notified straight away is to subscribe to the challenge blog. Just fill in the subscribe by email widget at the top of the sidebar. An email will be sent to you as soon as I hit the publish button for a new post.

Is there a link to your class blog on your sidebar?

It is helpful for your visitors especially other teachers and your mentor, to have a link to your class blog on the sidebar of your blog. If using Edublogs, you might have a class blogs or class directory widget you can add to your sidebar. This will show your class blog and any other students blogs connected to the class blog.

Teachers using Edublogs, here is the post on how to set up class blogs. Using another blogging platform, then check out the Get Help section on the sidebar of the challenge blog. This is where I have links to user guides, videos etc for a variety of blogging platforms. If you know of some more links I could add there please let me know in a comment on this post.

Any chance of some teachers from your school being mentors for the challenge?

Maybe some teachers who might be interested in blogging wouldn’t mind being a mentor in this challenge. Mentors when registering, I will need your name and a way to contact you to send reminders such as an email address. The results from this form will not be published, but you will also be asked to write a short bio in the comment area of the registration post.

Finally, do we have a class which would like to run the challenge for one week?

This year I am hoping some classes will run one of the challenge weeks. If your class would like to run the challenge for one week, please leave a comment mentioning the theme you would like to set challenges for eg global issues, history, my country, nature, and the date for it to be published. The journalism students from Cactus Canyon, Arizona ran one of the challenge weeks during the March challenges. Check it out here for an example of what can be done.
Get your blog organized, have at least one interesting post written before the challenge starts, so any visitors will be able to leave a comment.
You have just over 2 weeks till the first challenge is published.

Enter Your Future



POKRENI SVOJU BUDUĆNOST!

Pridruži se mladim liderima!



Studentska organizacija AIESEC organizuje po drugi put ove godine projekat “Enter Your Future” u trajanju od pet nedelja. Ideja projekta je da srednjoškolcima i učenicima sedmog i osmog razreda osnovnih škola podigne svest o neformalnom obrazovanju i podstakne ih da ulažu u sebe i šire svoja znanja i vidike,

Realizacija projekta će početi početkom juna, a sam projekat je koncipiran tako da srednjoškolci i učenici osnovnih škola učestvuju u interaktivnim i edukativnim radionicama sa studentima - volonterima iz inostranstva. Kroz timski rad, internacionalno okruženje i kreativne aktivnosti koje pokrivaju ključne teme, učesnicima projekta se ukazuje prilika da razviju komunikacione i liderske veštine I prošire mrežu prijatelja.

Za učenike osnovnih škola planirane su jezičke radionice koje imaju za cilj upoznavanje kulture odakle inostrani student volonter dolazi kao i stvaranje želje za učenjem novog stranog jezika. Srednjoškolcima su namenjene edukacije koje se tiču pre svega informatičke pismenosti uz fokus na praktičnu primenu stečenih veština. Radionice namenjene učenicima srednjih škola prilagođene su svakoj godini zasebno. Na kraju projekta, učesnici će dobiti sertifikate o odslušanim edukacija i stečenim veštinama. Ovo je idealna prilika za sve učenike osnovnih i srednjih škola koji žele da ulažu u svoje obrazovanje i dodatno se informišu o stvarima koje su im neophodne za lični i profesionalni razvoj.

Ukoliko si zainteresovan za učešće na ovom projektu možeš da popuniš prijavu na sledećem linku i bićeš uskoro kontaktiran: PRIJAVA.



AIESEC je globalna mreža studenata koja razvija liderski potencijal mladih i pozitivno utiče na društvo.

Using authentic material in the classroom


Dear colleagues,

We are happy to invite you to a presentation titled “Using authentic material in the classroom”.

The venue is American Corner, Kragujevac, (Zorana Đinđića 10/3), date - March 28th (Friday), time – 5.30 pm.(starts 5.30 pm, finishes 6.30).

Presenter: Branka Dečković, English teacher, Medical school, Kragujevac
Here is the abstract of the presentation:

It is much easier to teach with a course book then to bring your own material. Nevertheless, using authentic material is far more interesting for me, and for my students. Authentic material is everywhere around you – newspaper article, scene from a movie, song, poem, picture, painting, graffiti - anything can be used as teaching material. In this workshop I am going to present some of the authentic teaching materials I have used with my students. I am sure some of them might work for you as well.

Wondering if you are going to get any points?… Well, this is so called “horizontal professional development”, so, yes, you are going to get 2 points, and a certificate of attendance J

I am sure you can spare an hour of your free time, come to hear what’s in it for you, and exchange ideas.

Poziv na seminar za nastavnike engleskog jezika, Jeanne Perrett

Poštovani saradnici,

sa zadovoljstvom Vas pozivamo na seminar za nastavnike engleskog jezika na kome ćemo se podrobnije i praktično pozabaviti primenom teatra u nastavi engleskog jezika.

Voditelj seminara biće Jeanne Perrett      http://bit.ly/1bUQYhh

Drama in the Young Learner Classroom

Even when we are teaching very simple language, we can encourage our children to think adventurously. By using simple drama techniques such as mime and improvisation we can create different situations in the classroom. In this way we will encourage our children to become more creative in their language, their thought and in how they express themselves.

Tokom seminara biće izvedena i neka od najboljih aktuelnih učeničkih predstava iz Srbije, nakon čega ćemo imati pitanja i razgovor sa Jeanne Perrett, te sa učesnicima predstave i njihovim profesorima koji uspešno vode sekciju engleske drame.

Po završetku seminara učesnici će dobiti sertifikat o prisustvovanju na medjunarodnom seminaru za nastavnike engleskog jezika.

Verujemo da će vam ovaj seminar doneti nove, praktične ideje za još zanimljiviji rad te za nove uspehe u radu sa vašim učenicima.

Početak seminara je u 10:00 (registracija i preuzimanje materijala je od 9:30), a seminar se završava okvirno u 13:30.

Mesta i datumi održavanja:

Seminar i radionice koje će voditi Kris Rouz će se održati u Sali Heroja na Filološkom fakultetu na Studentskom trgu 3.

Agenda:

10.00 – 10.30 Registracija učesnika

Talk: ‘What Shall We Do With The Dead?’

One hundred years ago, James Joyce published his first book, Dubliners. While his reputation may largely be due to the later Ulysses, this collection of stories contains some of Joyce’s most intriguing writing, most notably the story ‘The Dead.’

This talk looks ‘The Dead,’ and the dead – ideas of return, memory and haunting in fiction, how the writing of ‘The Dead’ has reached out across the last century, and how it can be used in a variety of classroom settings.

Workshop 1: ‘How many stories?’

This workshop will have three short practical activities about using short stories in the language and/or literature classroom. Participants will be expected to engage with their imagination and creativity!

Workshop 2: ‘The Book of Beginnings’

This workshop will consist of a storytelling session in which participants will, if they like, be asked to construct the beginning of a story of their own.
