Is anyone up to joining #ELTchat tonight? We didn't get much by way of topic suggestions so we don't have a poll for you |

@Marisa_C What's the topic? #eltchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T19:41:58 |
We agreed to talk about creative practice activities - my head was full of it because of my talk so ..... what do you think? #ELTchat |
| naomishema |
2015-06-17T19:44:15 |
@Marisa_C If I understand the term correctly it sounds great - do you mean creative ways to practice skills or something else? #eltchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T19:44:56 |
@naomishema skills or language items #eltchat |
| naomishema |

What's the trick to use so that I won't have to type #ELTchat each message? |
| ELTchat |
2015-06-17T19:54:42 |
I am going to be using @nurph today so I don't have to type the hashtag #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T19:57:33 |
Hello everyone I am using this @nurph channel - Naomi - just click on the log in and allow it to use your twitter ID #ELTchat |

Well is there anyone else joining us this fine summer evening? #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:03:55 |
We want to talk about creative practices but not just amongst ourselves!!! #ELTchat |
| SueAnnan |
2015-06-17T20:04:04 |
Creative practices sounds interesting #eltchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:04:18 |

You look properly @nurphed indeed!!!! #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:05:16 |
So what would say makes a practice activity creative? #ELTchat |
| SueAnnan |
2015-06-17T20:05:38 |
Where is everyone? #eltchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:05:44 |
HI @FabianaLCasella - good to see yu here - were uyou able to come in without probs? #ELTchat |
| naomishema |
2015-06-17T20:05:56 |
FUN can be one parameter #ELTchat |
| Shaunwilden |
2015-06-17T20:06:16 |
@SueAnnan Well i’m watching cricket #eltchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:06:29 |
Fun is not a parameter but I think it's one of those ingredients you cannot do without! #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:06:58 |
Although humour in itself is a creative expression of language, isnt it #ELTchat |
| naomishema |
2015-06-17T20:07:23 |
Another is that Ss r practicing the same skill but they don't feel they are repeating themselves because the activity is different #ELTchat |
| naomishema |
2015-06-17T20:07:33 |
RT @Marisa_C Although humour in itself is a creative expression of language, isnt it #ELTchat |

@naomishema so repetition without regurgitation maybe? #ELTchat |
| naomishema |
2015-06-17T20:08:12 |
RT @Marisa_C @naomishema so repetition without regurgitation maybe? YES! #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:08:50 |
I found that a good way to judge if an activity was creative was whether it had ONE correct answer only #ELTchat |
| SueAnnan |
2015-06-17T20:09:30 |
Trying something new #eltchat |
| naomishema |
2015-06-17T20:09:45 |
I'm not sure that I completely agree with that one, @Marisa_C #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:09:49 |
Like for example a subsitution drill - one correct answer #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:10:19 |
but a situational prompt is more creative - more generative - can produce multiple answers #ELTchat |
| naomishema |
2015-06-17T20:11:02 |
You can practice grammar creatively and still have only one answer. Creative doesn't imply higher order thinking skills. #ELTchat |
| ELTchat |
2015-06-17T20:11:52 |
I think it does - it does involve higher order thinking skills - one of the definitions i'm afraid #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:12:08 |

| naomishema |
2015-06-17T20:13:10 |
ah, but creative on WHOSE part - I thought teacher being creative in inventing the activity! T using HOTS for sure! #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:13:15 |
@FabianaLCasella yes they can - it will be short bursts of talk and perhaps not in context (a didsadvantage) but yes #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:13:40 |
we are looking at activities for learners - not teachers being creative #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:14:22 |
This was my talk this afternoon @FabianaLCasella was there #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:16:48 |
I think that many holistic activities are creative - e,g, projects, creative narratives - making a video play etc #ELTchat |
| Erhan_Gulsen |
2015-06-17T20:16:52 |
Collaborative speaking and writing practices let the SS hone their creative skills, I think. They should feel they are producing. #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:17:18 |
but it's more difficult to find creative stuff for your more controlled stages #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:18:22 |
@Erhan_Gulsen As long as it's a challenging task and not just a simple activity e..g. "find someone who...." #ELTchat |
| naomishema |
2015-06-17T20:18:27 |
I was coming at the Q from POV of a special ed T who needs 3 find 10 diff. ways 2 practice diff. btwn much/many before ss get it. #ELTchat |
| Erhan_Gulsen |
2015-06-17T20:18:41 |
And, speaking and writing ostensibly require higher order thinking skills #ELTchat |

I liked this activity - T dictates a part of a story and pauses asking Ss to complete part of it - S read each other's stories #ELTchat |

Hello @SueAnnan are you there or too tired from the conference sweetie? #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:25:26 |
i wanted to share the book which just came out with you all - its choc-a-bloc . with new ideas http://t.co/zsOf2AOkP9 #ELTchat |

2015-06-17T20:27:28 |
yes - i did #ELTchat |

and creativity as a higher order thinking skill #ELTchat |
| naomishema |
2015-06-17T20:27:52 |
related to HOTS higher order thinking skills #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:28:10 |
that's right @naomishema #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:28:59 |
The chapter I wrote in this book makes a reference to Bloom and some of the things I mentioned are explained in more detail there #ELTchat |
| naomishema |
2015-06-17T20:30:02 |
we have 2 teach these skills explicitly while teaching Lit in English. George Ellitot 4 comparing" Somerset Maugham 4 Inferences... #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:30:10 |
I think that this is going to be the last chat for the summer before our summer break as moderators #ELTchat |

How does one get the book? #ELTchat |

Did you like the 'preoccupations' actiivity @FabianaLCasella ? #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:31:21 |
@naomishema Go to the link and it' s at the bottom of the text - as a pdf #ELTchat |

no worries #ELTchat |

see it now! it's free!!! #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:32:10 |
An activity `I mentioned for teachers - now for learners - it's called 'predicaments' but you can also call it 'accusations' #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:32:52 |
e.g. 'you were seen sticking knives & forks in your front lawn at mignight" Why? Best excuse wins #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:33:44 |
or if u want to use it to practise the past continuous ' why were you cleaning your car with a toothbrush?" #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:34:12 |
not so relevant to this chat @FabianaLCasella :-) #ELTchat |

OK, sorry for being the NUDNIK here. But don't you have mixed groups with ss who play along & others who give blank stares? #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:35:43 |
yes of course we all do - not sure about ur question #ELTchat |
| naomishema |
2015-06-17T20:36:29 |
What do YOU do with the ones who won't play along? Imaginative activities raise some people's hackles #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:36:43 |
Do you mean it's just this kind of activity they would not participate in or just generally all kinds of productive activs? #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:37:30 |
I would discuss the aims of the activity and negotiate their participation probably - though with careful prep I must confess... #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:37:57 |
... that I have never had to do something like that #ELTchat |
| naomishema |
2015-06-17T20:38:05 |
the flights of fantasy kind - toothbrushes & forks in gardens. Some ss won't go with such things. speaking from experience. #ELTchat |
| naomishema |
2015-06-17T20:38:43 |
some are awesome at it! #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:38:45 |
I think what you need to consider is that this chat is about sharing ideas and accept the fact that not everything will suit all ss #ELTchat |
| naomishema |
2015-06-17T20:39:29 |
Oh dear, I didn't mean to sound agressive! Apologies! Just seemed more dangerous water. NOTHING APPLIES TO EVERYONE! #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2015-06-17T20:39:30 |
get them to write their own predicaments then - fine if they pooh pooh these ones too - make their own #ELTchat |

Apologies if I offended anyone, it was not my intention. #ELTchat |

i like to play scenes from films without sound and get them to imagine the dialog #ELTchat |

2015-06-17T20:41:58 |
go with your instinct - try out things but chuck out what doesn't work #ELTchat |

creating film dialog is huge hit with my ss - of course we don't have to worry about turning off the sound, LOL! #ELTchat |
