Children have probably seen them in books or on display in museums, but what are fossils, and just how did they form over millions of years? Young viewers will learn the answers to these questions and more in All About Fossils, a lively look at the evidence of things that lived a long time ago. Examine the different ways in which fossils are formed, and see how paleontologists -- the scientists who study fossils -- figure out the age of these ancient creations.
Edith Nesbit’s classic story, in which three children, pulled suddenly from their comfortable suburban life, move to the country with their mother, where they come to know and love the ways of the railways.
Storytelling with Children (Resource Books for Children)
In this book, the activities described have been used with children aged seven to fourteen with between six months and three years of English. This is a very wide range of experience and potential learning development. Furthermore, in my experience the difference between one class and another, even of the same age and in the same school, can be enormous. So much depends on whether English is part of the children’s lives in their society, how enthusiastic and informed their parents are about English, how naturally English is used by the teacher in the normal life of the class, and last but not least, how free the children feel to ‘have a go’ in English.
Children, perhaps more than any other category of learners, delight in make-believe. They are immediately at home in imaginary worlds, where they can act out a role, engage in ‘pretend’ activities, dress up, and for a short while become another person. Language teachers at this level commonly have to face two difficulties however. On the one hand, they need to channel the naturally exuberant imaginative energy of the children into activity which is not merely enjoyable but which also has a language pay-off. On the other, they need to develop a repertoire of concrete activities which appeal to the children: failure to do so will result in chaos or boredom.
