Dear ETNIers, I had just finished preparing an activity for my 11th graders for Halloween, and was about to send it to the ETNI site, when I saw that someone wrote asking for activities. so here you have one. There are two files. The one that ends with .yar is for use on an interactive whiteboard. If you are lucky enough to have one at your school you can use it. The other is the workpage that accompanies the listening passage. To make the activities I used this site: http://www.teacherslovesmartboards.com/2010/10/smartboard-halloween-resource s.html The listening comprehension passage is a video clip that comes from: http://www.history.com/topics/halloween/videos#haunted-history-of-halloween And this is the accompanying worksheet: http://www.etni.org/teachers/adele/Halloween_worksheet_answer_page.doc This is the file for the interactive white board: http://www.etni.org/teachers/adele/HalloweenIWB.yar (It basically is a brainstorming activity - to see what the students know about Halloween, then a link to the site with the short video clip about Halloween (History channel 3:06 minutes) and then a link to an interactive game - which you could also have them do on computers.) I hope someone can use it in their classroom! Happy Trick or Treating Ya'll! Adele Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone. ----------------------------------------------- ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
