I posted this on ETNI FB but for those who are too busy with schoolwork to get sucked into FB-Land, here is Naftali Bennet's message to students (in Hebrew). http://www.youtube.com/watch?vêhp5zCcuzA&feature=youtu.be Rachelle Dear Rachelle: Thank you for sharing.Subject: Naftalie Bennett speaks about the importance of learning English I agree with everything he says. However, I would add one more suggestion: After looking up the new word, put a line under it and a number [number 1 for the first new word, etc.] and THEN at the bottom of the page, write that number followed by the meaning in Hebrew. This creats a mini-glossary. THEN when the student rereads that particular article, which s/he should do several times, s/he CAN, if necessary look down for the word meaning. After multiple rereadings, the student will discover that s/he 'knows subconsciously' this word now ......and then when that word appears in a new reading passage, will 'remember' the meaning. I have been telling my students to do this for years and the feedback to this method has been totally positive. Yours, Phyllis . He speaks in Hebrew but his message is very, very important. http://www.youtube.com:80/watch?vêhp5zCcuzA&feature=youtu.be ************************************** ** Join ETNI on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/31737970668/ ** ETNI Blog and Poll http://ask-etni.blogspot.co.il/ ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org ** post to ETNI List - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** help - ask@xxxxxxxx ***************************************
