DISTANCE LEARNING WITH ROOM 213
Thanks so much for the download! Don’t hesitate to reach out to me
at room213custom@gmail.com if you have any questions.
• On the first page they will let me know about themselves using some
typical English techniques like simile, metaphor and symbolism. This has a
dual purpose: not only do I learn about them, but also about their
understanding of these techniques. In another section they will let me
know what they like and dislike about English class. This can help me with
my planning.
• The second section also has a dual purpose: I get my kids up and
moving, (something that’s always important but is especially so on the
first day back) and it gets them to talk to and learn about each other.
The question about favourite books helps me and them learn about good
reads to add to our lists. Another activity has them suggest three rules
for the class; I will read them over and organize a discussion of them for
the next class.
• The last part is something I give for homework, so they can have time
to think. I want them to introduce themselves to me, but I want them to
do so in a way that stretches their creative and persuasive muscles.
