The next lesson is for the ninth grade:

The goal: To increase the awareness of the students regarding the theme of Roads Safty’.

The steps:
1. Working in groups of three. Each group will get a paragraph from the newspaper which tells about an accident that happened. The students will have to analyze the situation and suggest ways to prevent this kind of acciden. How it could have been prevented.

2. Each group will come in front of the class and present their case and their
solution to the situation they got.

3. Together with the class, the teacher will write on the board the main traffic rules and the behaviour on the roads. (Elicit from the students)

4. Each student will write down in his notbook about a dangerous situation that once happened to them in the road or behaviour, a bad habit they use to have on the roads. How he could have act differently to avoid this bad dangeruos situation or how he is going to act according to the rule and change his bad habit on the roads in order to prevent the next accident. The students will share it with the class.

5. What are the consequences in situations when people do not follow the rules of ‘Roads Safty’,

Domains: Social interaction, presentetion and access to information.

I would like to do my T-unit about road safty, I think it is an important subject.

Well I have listened to the last podcast on Youtube. To be more correct this podcast is actually a lecture by Pro. Randy Pausch, it is hour and a half lecture. He was a Pro to computer science when he died of cancer. The first thing that got me while watching is when he started the lecture the crowd stood and gave him applause so he said to them "make me earn it" and they said back:" You did". The man is so smart and will leave you amazed but yet he was so humble and modest despite all what he had.
The lecture is about the life, how to deal with our problems in life and the main thing is how to realize our dreams. He shares with us experiences from his own personal life but at the end he does something very tricky.
I highly recommend seeing it, there is the book which called also the last lecture.
