Workshop Wednesday: Bring an Idiom to School

So excited to link up with my BBB Jivey for an idea I think you'll LOVE!
http://ideasbyjivey.blogspot.com/2014/02/workshop-wednesday-writing-tips-mentor.html
 I love teaching writing, especially figurative language...it's my favorite!
I created this fun activity to review or introduce new idioms with your students!
I call it "Bring an Idiom to School!"
Students look for objects around their house to represent an idiom and bring it to school.
They show their classmates and then they try to guess which idiom the object represents.
It's basically SHOW & TELL for big kids with an academic focus! :O)

Want to play??!! Here are some of the idioms my students brought to school!
Answers at the bottom!

ANSWERS:
1. ace up my sleeve
2. keep your eyes on the ball
3. caught red handed
4. once in a blue moon
5. apple of my eye
6. catching some z's
 
How many did you get right??!! Pretty fun right? I created this form for my students to complete and assigned a due date-easy and fun!!!

  19. If we are to change the cruel, destructive ways in which human beings treat one another, we must first change the way they think, and the things they value. This can be effected through a process of education that will bring balance to the present state of social and material disequilibrium and contribute to the collective maturation of humanity. This process-called by some the "feminisation of the planet"-will bear fruit in an age of peace in which the masculine and feminine elements of civilisation will be more properly balanced.

  23. This article explores the Montessori Method of education as a form of problem-posing education. It argues that our current educational system in the United States pushes students towards disliking learning and is closer to a system of manipulation and power than a system of education. acim blog

  24. The state of the Pakistani educational system began to change and ultimately crumble after the 1980s. So called reforms have dramatically changed Pakistan's educational system, both from an economic and pedagogical perspective. There are clear signs that an affordable quality education in Pakistan is under threat. Pakistan's education system has fallen victim to neo-liberal globalization. Neo-liberalism has regarded the educational institutes more as a commodity exchange and commercial body than as a sacrosanct academic institution or means of social and national integration. https://livingmiraclescenter.org/news-blog/a-course-in-miracles-blog-newsletter.html

  27. Education is an important tool that is applied in the contemporary world to succeed. The word education means 'to bring up'. Education provides the basic knowledge that makes a human a human. Since the start of human history people have been learning and educating. People in the past struggled very much to get education. Education has progressed from that time. In the present time only educated people can get success in the world. Without education success is impossible. try this list

And I don’t know if you’ve ever seen her do an interview but she is also rather funny and its all so natural for her.
