Intergrating Websites In the Classroom

English Interactive


The English Interactive site is designed for a younger audience such as elementary level. Some of the words could be used for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, but there are a couple of things that may be for 4th and 5th. This may include some of the verbs and words such as cigarette. The site provides correct pronunciation of the words and sentencing. A way to use this in the classroom is look at the pictures and identify them verbally and by writing it down. The site has weather labeled with pictures such as It's raining, It's snowing, etc. Could make a picture game out of it.
A way that this site can be used beyond the classroom is that the site can be accessed at home and the children can look at the pictures and even practice the words at home. Also a person can even change it and look at a German version or even another language.
The only thing that I find wrong with this site is that it seems limited on what words will be presented. If a child needs more practice on C words, it does not seem to show a way to view more C words, only what is presented already. The site also allows you to only practice verbs, I have found nothing on nouns, adjectives, and so forth. The areas at the top like Grammar, Pronunciation bring you to a page that has a bunch of other links to look at. So this may make it hard for a kid to do at home on their own. Print Page in IE
