Самопрезентация интернет-проекта


Уважаемые гости и участники проекта! Коллектив ГБОУ школы № 65 поздравляет всех с наступающими Новогодними праздниками и Рождеством! 

Вашему вниманию представляется интернет-проект учителя английского языка Минахина Д. В. «Путешествие по Великобритании».

Миссия проекта состоит в адаптации современных мультимедийных технологий к процессу обучения английскому языку с целью повышения его эффективности.
Актуальность проекта заключается в использовании формата блога, уже знакомого поколению интернет-пользователей. При разнообразии упражнений сохраняется синхронность выполнения действий и эффективность контроля, так как задания проверяются автоматически. Обеспечивается принцип единства в многообразии.
Интернет-проект позволяет стимулировать интерес как к изучаемому предмету в частности, так и к учебному процессу в целом. Использование упражнений, созданных на базе сервиса LearningApps.org позволяет оптимизировать контроль за усвоением учебного материала и развивает самостоятельность обучающихся.
Необходимыми ресурсами для реализации проекта являются доступ к сети Интернет, сервисы Google и сервис для конструирования упражнений LearningApps.org.
Сильной стороной проекта является внедрение технологического подхода к изучению иностранного языка. Слабая сторона проекта – увлечение использованием интернет-технологий может стать самоцелью в процессе обучения. Опасность использования интернет-площадки в урочной деятельности состоит в том, что планирование урока начинает всецело зависеть от материально-технических условий.
Тем не менее, следует отметить возможность создания разнообразных упражнений, большой охват аудитории, сокращение времени на выполнение заданий, сокращение использования материальных ресурсов.
Развитие идеи находит выражение в создании комплекса упражнений для учеников разного возраста и формировании банка заданий по грамматическим и страноведческим темам.

Writng skills for the 11th form!

Writing skills: an Opinion Essay

Should cars be banned from the city centers?


The basic five-paragraph essay structure, which you have probably used many times by this point, works extremely well for an opinion essay. It’s a starting point, and when you get to university your profs will expect a more complex approach to essay writing. If you feel confident about your essay-writing skills, you can certainly branch out into longer and more complex essays. But this basic five-paragraph outline is a good starting point, especially if you feel uncertain of your ability.

An opinion essay exists to prove your main point – your thesis. This should be clearly stated in your opening paragraph. Don’t leave the reader to guess what your position is on the issue – make a clear stand!

Next, develop your argument in the body of your essay. Each paragraph should contain a single, clear idea that support your point of view. You can use examples and illustration, cause-and-effect reasoning, comparison/contrast or other methods of development to support your argument.

Research: Any statements you make that would cause a reader to say, “Wait, how do you know that’s true?” need to be backed up with documentation from outside sources (“I saw something on TV about it one time” would not be considered adequate documentation). Refer to the handout “What is Research?” for further details.

Remember that a paragraph is three to five sentences that develop a single, clear idea.  A good paragraph often begins with a topic sentence that sums up your main idea.

·         Paragraph One - The introduction.  Here you state the main idea of your entire essay -- the point you are trying to make or prove.  This paragraph should include your thesis statement plus three reasons why you believe this statement to be true.

·         Paragraphs Two, Three and Four.  These are the body of your essay.  Remember back in Paragraph One, you gave three reasons for your opinion? Three reasons, three body paragraphs.  Each of the body paragraphs should take one of your reasons and explain it in more detail, citing sources where necessary.

·         Paragraph Five -- The conclusion.  Former Newfoundland premier Joey Smallwood once said about giving speeches: "First I tell them what I'm going to tell them, then I tell them, then I tell them what I told them."  That's how you write an essay.  In the conclusion, tell them what you told them.  Sum up your argument by restating your thesis statement and reminding the reader what your three reasons were.  In an argumentative essay, you can finish with a "call to action" -- tell the reader what you would like them to do as a result.

Flora and Fauna of the British Isles




The fauna or animal life on the British Isles is like in the north-west of Europe. Many larger animals such as bears and wolves don't live on the British Isles anymore but there are a lot of smaller animals: foxes, rabbits, hares and hedgehogs. Deer live in the forests of Scotland and England too. There are also different kinds of fish, snakes, lizards, frogs, butterflies and dragonflies.
More than two hundred species of birds live on the British Isles and about two hundred kinds are visitors of the place. Many of them are songbirds, in spring land rings with their singing. The most common are blackbirds and sparrows. A lot of waterbirds - swans, ducks, geese, and gulls - live on the lakes and rivers and on the sea coasts of Great Britain.
