Teaching Children to Revise Work

Teaching Children to Revise Work As a student, part of the process of becoming a better writer is learning to revise ones written work. For many children, revising is difficult, and for good reason, says Eileen Huntington, co-founder of Huntington Learning Center. When a child crafts an essay, for example, he or she invests a lot of energy into collecting his or her thoughts, organizing them, and writing them in a coherent and compelling way. Completing a draft feels like a monumental feat, so its tempting to spell check and call it done, but revising is a critical part of the writing process. Huntington encourages parents to work with their children on revising their written workand to talk with them about what revising actually means. Here are five ways to help your child revise well: Explain that revision is different than proofreading or editing. As your child becomes a more experienced writer, he or she must learn to understand the differences between revision and proofreading or editing. Revision addresses organization, focus and purpose, and helps a writer assess whether he or she addresses an audience appropriately and explains his or her thoughts clearly and logically. Editing is the process of reviewing a piece for errors, word choice, clarity, tone and the like. Proofreading is the final quality check for correct spelling and proper punctuation and capitalization. Break writing into steps. Young students are taught that writing involves developing an idea and putting it on paper. But advanced writers understand that a finished piece should be polishedan impossibility if that piece has not been carefully revised at least once. Your child should think of the writing process as six separate steps, each of which is important: Planning/outlining Writing Revising Editing Proofreading Final read-through Think big picture. Adding or deleting words isnt revising. Discuss your childs written work on a conceptual level. If he or she is trying to convince the reader of something in an essay, it is important to ask pertinent questions when revising that essay. Is the argument well thought out? How did he or she support that argument? Is there information in the essay that, at second look, does not need to be there? Overall, revision is about making writing stronger. Show your child how to revise. Read a newspaper article or essay with your child (try asking his or her teacher for suggestions, too). Then, ask questionsdid the introduction make you want to keep reading? Was the main point clear? Point out areas you think were confusing or not as strong as they could be, and offer suggestions on how you would try to improve those areas. Teach your child that revision is about being objective. A good reminder to the young writer is that revision isnt about tearing his or her work to shreds. Rather, revision is about improving an argument, strengthening an articles supporting points and making ones writing as good as it can be. Point out the good parts of your childs first draft before launching into a discussion of the areas that need work. Remind your child that good writing requires patience and practice. Most of all, encourage your child to view his or her work with fresh eyes during revision and to be open to new ideas throughout the process.

Summer Vacations with ADHD Managing Screen Time When Youre Traveling with Kids

Summer Vacations with ADHD Managing Screen Time When You’re Traveling with Kids Everyone looks forward to summer family vacations! This fun, memory-making, quality family time can be the highlight of the summer. Unfortunately, before the fun can begin parents of kids with ADHD must endure the long trip to the vacation destination. Without fail, long car and plane rides stir up some of the most challenging ADHD behaviors in children and cause sibling squabbles to reach new heights. In an effort to keep the peace and minimize boredom, most parents rely heavily on tablets, phones, and in-flight movies. They do this with good reason - screens can be very effective at keeping behavior in check. Unfortunately, for kids with ADHD, long stretches of screen time can have negative effects on their attention and behavior for hours (and sometimes days) after the journey is over. Many kids with ADHD have difficulty regulating their attention around screens. They become hyper-focused when theyre watching a show or playing videogames, but when the screen is taken away struggle to transition to another activity. In fact, research shows that some kids with ADHD continue to crave screen time for hours after they have spent a significant amount of time in front of screens. For these kids, taking the device away at the end of the trip can lead to meltdowns and outbursts, as well as seemingly constant begging for more screen time during the entire vacation. Not an ideal way to start off your family holiday! So, what should parents do? If your child struggles with regulating his or her attention and transitions around screen time, then keeping videogames and movies off limits during the trip is your best option. If this doesnt feel manageable or realistic, then follow these three guidelines to keeping screen-related disruptions to a minimum: Limit screen sessions to 30 minutes. Keeping your childs screen sessions relatively short, with longer screen-free breaks in between, will help your child regulate his or her attention. He or she will have an easier time transitioning off the screens, and he or she should have fewer screen time cravings after the trip. Create a screen schedule and stick to it. Plan out times when screens will be allowed and share this schedule with your child ahead of time. Keep track of screen session time by using the timer on your phone (its very easy to lose track and accidentally allow your child a much longer session then was planned). Do the same for the time between screen sessions. This way, when your child asks you when he or she can have the device back you can simply tell him or her to check the timer. Reward your child. If your child is not used to having limits around screen time, then adjusting to a schedule may be challenging. Acknowledge this when you discuss the schedule and your expectations with him or her ahead of time. Let your child know that he or she will earn a reward at the end of the trip if he or she keeps a positive attitude while sticking to the schedule. Make sure to praise him or her along the way and let him or her know that he or she is well on the way to earning a reward. Wondering what you should do to keep your child entertained in between screen sessions? The best activities are those that your child is able to look forward to and feel excited about. So, start by asking him or her to come up with some ideas. Bring some of your own ideas to the table too. Look for special activities that your child doesnt typically have an opportunity to do every day, to keep the novelty and interest high. Here are a few ideas to get you started: No Mess Creative Toys. No mess creative toys and art supplies, like molding and sculpting Wikki Sticks (wikkistix.com), Travel Spirograph (www.originalspirograph.com/), and dot art created with inexpensive school supply stickers (https://tinyurl.com/yb9f276d), can keep kids entertained for hours. Mad Libs. Mad Libs (http://www.madlibs.com/) fill in the blank stories will have everyone laughing, and will help the time fly by. Comic Books and Graphic Novels. If your child is a resistant reader, then reading a chapter book during a long car or plan ride isnt going to seem like an appealing activity. Instead, substitute with graphic novels or comic books. Many kids wish they could choose graphic novels or comic books as their assigned reading during school year, so having the opportunity to pick them as their vacation reads will feel like a treat. This family vacation, keep screen time to a minimum and fill the time with fun activities that your kids will enjoy. With a little planning and creativity, your vacation will be off to a great start this year! ABOUT DR.

The Challenge of Learning US English

The Challenge of Learning US English This is  a  guest post from our enthusiastic user Attila.    You can find the original  post here:  â€œThe Challenge of Learning US English” I launched a new blog called “The Challenge of Learning US English”.    Why did I begin this  blog?  I have had many thoughts about learning English that I’d like to  share.  I began to write these thoughts in an article, but then I realized  that one article wasnt enough.  Instead, I would need to write a series of  2-3 entries.  However, a series was still not enough. My ideas were like a  tree and new branches of thoughts continuously sprouted from my mind.  So  why not begin my own blog about it.  Some of my topics are serious, some of  them are just for fun. First of all, let me give you some details.  I’m 45 and I’ve been learning  English for ages. I started at the age of 12, but had many breaks. If I  added up my most active periods of learning, the total wouldn’t be more  than 4-5 years. During this long period of time, I’ve met several challenges (I  intentionally wrote the word challenge, not the word difficulty.) A  challenge has the power to push you forward and motivate you.  To learn a  foreign language is not easy, but it’s beautiful. It’s a discovery of a different culture, different people.  I’d like to show how I discovered (and  am continuing to discover!) this beautiful language. I’m not a native  speaker, and I’m not a perfect English speaker. Nor am I a teacher.  So Im  not interested in teaching English at all.  Instead, I would like to show  language learning from the perspective of a language learner. I’m going to post my favorite books, websites, TV shows, and other  material related to my learning process.  I’ll show you my successes and  experiences (I’ve had a lot!).  Ive also had pitfalls and several  misunderstandings (when I misunderstood someone, or I was misunderstood). I  won’t keep them in secret since they’re also important when learning  English. I do love all kinds of English, but I’m going to concentrate on American  English.  So I’m going to follow the American spelling rules and try to use  the words, phrases, and idioms of American English.  Im focusing on  American English because of the great opportunity I had to spend 4 months  in the States in 2013. Please feel free to make comments or contact me.  I don’t guarantee that I  can answer every question, but I hope there will be comments from native  speakers as well, maybe from teachers, and maybe they can answer some  questions as well.  I would like to help people discover English together. You can find my italki profile here. My teacher (Gardeniafly) who I found on italki.com helps me by reviewing my  posts. Please visit my blog, and if you like it share it with your friends.

5 Ways to Fight Serious Winter Blues

5 Ways to Fight Serious Winter Blues Image via flickr.com As the days get shorter and it seems like the weather is always dark and miserable, some of us start getting a little (or, okay, a lot) down. If this describes you, it turns out that you may be sad because you have SAD. Before you think I’m just repeating myself and capitalizing words randomly for kicks, let me give you this one definition:  Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)  is a form of depression that hits during the changing of the seasons. Winter-onset SAD, the specific form of Seasonal Affective Disorder that occurs during the fall and winter, is the most common. Feeling down? It could be SAD. (flickr.com) However, you shouldn’t mix up Seasonal Affective Disorder with “just feeling a little blue.” “Winter Blues” is a slang term for a feeling of mild sadness that clears up quickly on its own. On the other hand, SAD is a serious emotional disturbance and can really interfere with important activities you want to do, such as going to school or work. And while you might love an excuse to turn that term paper in late, having SAD really isn’t worth it. Symptoms: As if it didnt already sound bad enough, SAD is also difficult because the symptoms can vary widely and can even get more severe as the season goes on. Some  symptoms  include: Sad, anxious, or “empty” feelings Feelings of hopelessness or pessimism Feelings of guilt, worthlessness or helplessness Irritability or restlessness Loss of interest or pleasure in activities you normally enjoy Tiredness and low energy Difficulty concentrating, remembering details and making decisions Trouble sleeping Weight or appetite changes Social withdrawal Thoughts of death or suicide Feeling sad or hopeless is a symptom of SAD. (flickr.com) Symptoms specific to winter-onset SAD also include: Weight changes (especially weight gain) Appetite changes (especially a craving for foods high in carbohydrates) Trouble sleeping (especially oversleeping) Heavy, “leaden” feeling in the arms or legs Hypersensitivity to rejection Trouble getting along with others What causes SAD?   Image via flickr.com “Well, how do you cure it then?” you may ask. Now that’s a little trickier. Doctors still don’t know what exactly causes Seasonal Affective Disorder, but they believe a few factors play into it (prepare yourself for a little biology!): Circadian rhythms: These are physical, mental and behavioral changes that occur in your body according to a 24-hour cycle. They are mainly influenced by the light or darkness in your surroundings. Serotonin melatonin levels: Chemicals in your brain that influence your mood and sleep pattern. They are also affected by the light or darkness around you. Now, after all this rather dense, distressing talk, you might understandably be dispirited. “So there’s nothing I can do?” you may ask. Not at all! There are actually several actions you can perform to help alleviate symptoms of SAD. 5 Tips to Go from SAD to Happy! Want to get over SAD? Then follow these tips! (flickr.com) 1. Light therapy (a.k.a. phototherapy): Image via flickr.com This type of therapy doesn’t make you lay down on a couch and spill about your childhood fears. Instead, you sit in front of a  special box  that produces artificial light. This light mimics natural sunlight to supposedly balance out certain chemicals in your brain (the previously mentioned serotonin and melatonin) that affect mood. Take that, cloudy days! Note: Before starting light therapy, speak to your doctor to see if it’s right and safe for you. 2. Avoid loading up on carbs in the morning.   Pancakes are an example of a carb-heavy food! (flickr.com) That picture just made you crave pancakes, didn’t it? Well, as tempting as pancakes, waffles and cereal are, they’re also some of the worst things you can eat in the morning if you want to stay awake and alert all day. This is because eating carbohydrate-heavy foods in the morning causes a sugar spike in your body, followed by a huge release of the chemical insulin in response. Insulin works to decrease the amount of sugar in your blood by moving it into your cells where it’s needed, causing a sharp plunge in your blood sugar level and prompting what we’ve all experienced before: afternoon tiredness. And when you’re already feeling tired and cranky from the overcast weather, extra fatigue is the last thing you need. To avoid the 2:00 slump, eat protein-dense foods like eggs instead of simple carbs. Foods filled with protein give you extended energy and keep you full and satisfied for longer, both of which you desperately need if you’re already dealing with Seasonal Affective Disorder. No more hangry people here! Eat protein so you dont get hangry later! (Gif via hellogiggles.com) 3. Skip alcohol and other depressants.   Alcohol is bad for SAD! (flickr.com) It’s often difficult to remember that alcohol is a  depressant, especially when it can make you the life of the party. But it’s true: alcohol inhibits the normal functions of your brain, relaxing you and making you forget your inhibitions. So while drinking alcohol may be fun, the fact that it’s a depressant also means it lowers your mood and makes you more tired. If you have SAD, you don’t need another reason to be depressed or not drag yourself out of bed. This unfortunately means that you should nix the alcohol and other depressants if you want to have as much energy and be as happy as possible. Other  common depressants  include sleep aids and some antihistamines. However, always speak with your doctor before stopping or starting medications! 4. Dont oversleep. Beds are comfy, but dont spend too much time in them! (flickr.com) We’ve all been there: it’s oh so easy to hit the snooze button five more times when it’s cold and rainy outside your snug blanket burrito. But oversleeping may actually make you  more  tired, which is exactly the opposite of what you’re looking for when you’re suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder. So limit the times you abuse that snooze button in the mornings and keep naps to 10-30 minutes. Another tip: going to bed and waking up at the same time every day can also help you stop oversleeping. The consistent schedule balances out your circadian rhythms, which can get disrupted as the seasons change and the daytime gets shorter, causing fatigue. 5. Get moving! Exercise is invigorating! (flickr.com) Exercise  is one of the best ways to beat back SAD! This is because physical activity produces endorphins, chemicals in your body that improve your mood and increase your energy. This can even last for hours after you’re done! In fact, exercising outside even when it’s cloudy is more beneficial and effective than many other SAD treatment methods. So get ready to jump for joy, because exercise can be better than an apple a day at keeping the doctor (and SAD) away!

3 Tips for Surviving Homesickness

3 Tips for Surviving Homesickness For all the college or university planning you may have done, one thing you probably were not prepared for was homesickness. Many students are initially excited at the prospect of being on their own, but all it takes is one bad day to make you long for the comforts of home. However, there are some great tips that may help make things a bit easier on you. Know you aren't alone It is important that you understand what you are going through is completely normal. The fact of the matter is that there are many, many students that are feeling homesick just as you are. Don't think because you are feeling those emotions that something is wrong with you. Homesickness is just part of an adjustment period. Become familiar with your new surroundings Take time to be comfortable with the whole new world around you. Walk around the campus and explore all you can. If you are tired of studying in the library, look for some secret study spots or be sure you know where the quiet caf shop is located. The more that you enter into the mindset that the campus belongs to you, the more comfortable you may feel. Get out Another way to help you deal with being homesick is to get up and get out of your room. Being in your room is the worst place you can be when it comes to being homesick. Head on down to the cafeteria to see what types of food it offers for breakfast, lunch and dinner. See if there is a cool coffee shop on campus. Check out the computer lab as an alternate means of writing your paper. If you have your own laptop, do your assignments while basking in the warm sunshine. One of the most important things you can do if you are experiencing homesickness is to have a positive attitude. You need to give yourself ample time to deal with missing home. This is not something you want to let completely control you by any means. Moving away from home is an adjustment, but it can get easier.

Everything you need to know about living and teaching in Azerbaijan (with job postings)

Everything you need to know about living and teaching in Azerbaijan (with job postings) Whenever I have a conversation about Teach Away with someone who’s curious to learn about the world of international education, I get asked the same question: “What countries does Teach Away post jobs in?” If you’ve visited the Teach Away job board on more than one occasion, it’s likely you would have noticed a different list of available countries each time. Although there are some nations, like the United Arab Emirates, that tend to have postings up year round, most countries appear and reappear on the job board to reflect whether or not there any schools there that are currently looking to fill vacancies. Since countries pop up on the job board’s dropdown list as schools within them publicize their openings, keeping an eye on the list can reveal some countries you may not have known we have jobs in! I was taking a look at the list of countries currently with postings today and was intrigued by a country I hadn’t previously taken the time to learn about: Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is a country in southwest Asia (and partially in southeast Europe) bordering the Caspian Sea. Armenia and Turkey are to the west, Georgia and Russia to the north, and Iran to the south. I was interested in finding out a little more about the country, so I pulled up the Teach Away info page and found the following country info and quick facts about Azerbaijan: Country Information Capital - Baku Language - Azerbaijani or Azeri Population - 9.3 million Currency - Manat Government - Unitary presidential state Baku - the nation’s capital city Quick Facts Azerbaijan's national drink is tea, often sweetened with jam. Azerbaijan was the first largely muslim country to grant women the right to vote and partake in government. Neft Dashlar is the first and largest town built on stilts. The youngest International Chess Grand Master, Teymur Rajabov, was awarded the title at the age of 13. All 8,350 rivers in Azerbaijan drain into the Caspian Sea. After deciding that I definitely need to try mixing some jam into my next cup of tea, I took my Azerbaijan curiosity a step further, taking a look at what it would be like to live and teach in Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan draws influence from the West as well as from its past membership in the Soviet Union, which came to an end in 1991. The country is in an exciting place as it is emerging from beneath the Iron Curtain and taking on a new identity with a healthy variety of cultural influence. Azerbaijan is home to bustling cities and small towns - across the country you’ll find both urban density and natural rural landscapes. Lakeside in the Azerbaijan country Teaching in Azerbaijan Azerbaijan’s private international schools and public schools provide great opportunities for educators of all levels, from Early Years teachers to subject-specifc teachers for international high schools. Reflecting Azerbaijan's development on the global stage, English-speaking instructors, English language teachers, and Business English teachers are in high demand. International schools in Azerbaijan areInternational Baccalaureate (IB) schools. They follow a globally recognized and highly reputable curriulum designed to equip students with life skills as well as high academic potential. IB schools require brilliant teachers in order to deliver a world-class program. Students who are successful at IB schools will be prepared and able to attend nearly any college or university of their choice. An IB program has also been recently added to Azerbaijan's public school system with the intention of instilling a global mindset in public school students. This is exciting news for the international teaching community, as these public schools will need international educators to make its IB program the best it can be. Teachers in Azerbaijan earn competitive salaries, which vary according to costs of living across the country. Benefits in Azerbaijan typically include accommodation for teachers and health insurance. Things for teachers to do in Azerbaijan Teachers living in Azerbaijan’s capital of Baku will enjoy diverse restaurants and modern facilities. As in any city, teachers are encouraged to try the local cuisine, although those looking for variety will find anything from Irish pubs to Japanese fusion. The oil-rich city boasts modern skyscrapers and luxuries, but the core of the city is an ancient historic site. History buffs can explore towers and palaces dating back centuries. Azerbaijan’s urban areas, in particular, have large populations of expats, so teachers can develop a support network while living in the country. Teachers are nevertheless encouraged to get to know local Azerbaijanis, as their unique culture illustrates the importance of personal relationships, sincerity, and tradition. Azerbaijan Travel Traveling in Azerbaijan is a rewarding challenge for those interested in this dynamic, rapidly developing country. Azerbaijan defies classification â€" situated at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, this fascinating nation is a mix of cultural influences. Expats in Azerbaijan will not want to miss out on the country’s historic sites and natural wonders. Azerbaijan is home to more than half of the world’s mud volcanoes and derives its name as the “land of fire” from the burning mountain, a hillside continuously engulfed in flames. The stunning Caucasus mountains provide breathtaking scenery. Visiting areas such as the picturesque shepherding village of Khinalug (Xinaliq) is easier than ever thanks to new roads. Travelers who visit Azerbaijan in the near future will be rewarded with an authentic experience before the region becomes overrun with tourists. The fact that Azerbaijan’s tourism industry is newly developing can be both difficult and gratifying. Traveling can be chal lenging, as infrastructure is not always well-developed, and few people outside of Baku speak much English. However, travelers who are up for the challenge will enjoy the authentic experience of exploring beautiful Azerbaijan. Of course the reason I came across Azerbaijan and wrote this article in the first place is because we currently have job postings for positions in Azerbaijan! If you’re qualified and seeking an International School position overseas, Azerbaijan could be the place for you. Check out a couple of current postings: MYP Science Teacher - International School - Azerbaijan IB Math Teacher - International School These aren’t the only two opportunities… See more job postings for positions in Azerbaijan International Schools here.
