KWL and the Teachers' Pet

I have learned how to prepare an activities in an easy way.  I understand that it's hard to prepare by writing in a Microsoft  Word Office programme with our mental writings. To use these kinds of programmes make our lifes faster and easier. On the contrary; Teacher Pets Software saves our time for preparing a great deal of activities for the learners whom we teach for.
The program is designed to support educators facing severely reduced budgets by providing technology that eases desktop management, reduces labor costs, extends PC lifecycles and reduces security risks. I wonder this software's mechanics works in a practical and punctual way!  =)

In most case, both finding and creating activities for teacher is hard; however, I think students appreciate with activities (for me it is like that) If instructors create more activities in their lectures, they may be more effective for learners because     in my opininons, when students involve some kind of activities, s/he learns exactly.

I have not known anything about the interactive web pages until now. However, it comes more close to see what we doing right now. I want to know about how to insert these quizzes in the program. This is awesome. And more about the hints section because it is hard to keep hint behind the questions! :)

Lexico-Grammatical Feature II

For the "Verb", it always use the 'Noun Phrase' & 'Adverb' we can see this feature easly from the "becoming". By this way, I can easily show students the keywords and how often they used in the text it's surronding arounf itself; therefore, they can easily learn so many words.

"LEXICO - GRAMMATICAL FEATURE"

In the first reading text, it is more difficult to see:


- and drying climate meant that by BC, the Sahara region was BECOMING increasingly dry and hostile. 
-World Cups. South Africa hosted the World Cup tournament, BECOMING the first African country to do so.



- ence from France. Ghana followed suit the next year March , BECOMING the first of the sub Saharan colonies to be freed. 









Vocabulary Profiling

Vocabulary Profiling


I think both BNL vocabulary Profiler & Test Document Readability are the best tools because I can list word in English and, also, which words are the key ones. In addition one of these tools correct my mistakes in the sentences.

I think the readibilt depends on the contect which we read on and also its hardness level whethere it is an easy or the hard one. The more structures, sentences, words we read, we may have to read again and again.  I can give a simple example what I am doing right now from this task: To illustrate; in the 1st question which asked: "Which one do you prefer for pre-intermediate group of students?" All of us chose the option "B" due to its readibility features in the text. I wonder how does it happen with a one-click!It is awesome to see the program has in itself. I can simply write that this program can be applied on all levels of learners.
