Extractions: Welcome to the Three Wise Monkeys book of lessons ideas. Here you will find online lesson plans, games, exercises and activities for teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) written by JET Programme Assistant Language Teachers in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. If you can read this, it means the programme you're using doesn't support frames. Like, maybe it's an old browser you inherited from your great, great, great grandfather. Or maybe you're trying to print, or edit using Microsoft Word, which can't deal with frames. Doubtless Mr. Gates is giving this problem his full attention, but in the meantime you should be able to get by selecting "no frames". (Follow one of the links below.) Alternatively, maybe you're a search engine. In which case, dozo yoroshiku onegai shimasu. Go to the introduction page. (No frames) See a complete index (No frames)
Extractions: Twenty-Five Great Ideas for Teaching Current Events! Looking for ways to work news into your classroom curriculum? Check out these great ideas for connecting current events to all subjects! Young Americans today know less and care less about what's going on in the world than young Americans of previous generations did. Those were the conclusions presented in a 1995 report from the Times Mirror Center for the People and the Press (now called the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press). "On average, only 20 percent of respondents aged 18 to 29 paid close attention to the stories covered in the News Interest Index [an index of top news stories]." Attentiveness rose to 23 percent among respondents 30 to 49 and to 29 percent among those 50 years and older. So what can be done to raise students' interest in and awareness of the stories making news headlines?

Weblogg-ed - Using Weblogs And RSS In Education : Will Richardson collects ideas for Web logs in the classroom, asks questions to the teacher Web logging community, and reflects on his teaching. His blog is also intended to be a clearninghouse for sites and issues relating to Web logs in education. http://www.weblogg-ed.com/
Extractions: Sunday, June 6, 2004 Ok, so I know that Weblogs can be about anything that their creators want them to be about. That's one of the beauties of the medium. And I know that many newspapers are starting to use blogs as a way of getting a more ground level look at local events and news. But I have to tell you, nj.com 's " Beach Blog " about summer at the Jersey shore has a weird feel to it. Maybe it's just me, but it feels kind of, I don't know, strange to be reading stuff like this on a fairly well-respected newspaper site: Unlike Dustin, with the taunting sunrise at the train station, I wasn't vertical until 10 AM and I didn't make it to work until this afternoon. So I thought that was brutal until I realized that Little Timmy, my Dublin-born coworker, rolled in about five minutes before I did, STILL DRUNK. We have given some thought to the numbers relating to our adventures. Our combined age = 48. Our combined blood alcohol level = probably around 0.48. Combined hours of straight drinking = 48. This could not be circumstance. It must have been fated. Sprinkle some hidden camera shots of bikini clad girls walking the beach and, well, you get the picture...

Sir Patrick Geddes - Influential Son Of Ballater - Father Of Town Planning, Ball Known as the father of town planning, he developed the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, advanced ideas for the renovation of old housing and the planning and building of new homes, and advocated using the Camera Obscura as a teaching medium. (Book Cities in evolution An introduction to the Town Planning movement and the Studies of Civics.) http://www.ballaterscotland.com/geddes/
Extractions: Sir Patrick Geddes This is a green world, with animals comparatively few and small, and all dependent on the leaves. By leaves we live. Some people have strange ideas that they live by money. They think energy is generated by the circulation of coins. Whereas the world is mainly a vast leaf colony, growing on and forming a leafy soil, not a mere mineral mass: and we live not by the jingling of our coins, but by the fullness of our harvests.
