Present Continuous (Present Progressive) - What is Mr Bean doing?

It is a poster to remind students to stop bullying. You can place it on the walls in the classroom, cafeteria, hallways, etc. This poster can make the student learn the reasons to stop bullying.

Poster - Stop Bullying

To illustrate - During a circular dance, with everyone moving from left to right in concentric circles, the photojournalist usually rotates with the subject he or she is trying to photograph by panning the camera, moving it crosswise across the scene to increase background blur and subject sharpness. To get the desired effect, the photographer will move from left to right while the subject moves from right to left, freezing them out with the flash and leaving the surrounding party as a blur. One of the main keys to successfully capturing these photos is using the rear-curtain sync feature on the camera, which makes the flash go off at the end of the exposure rather than at the beginning. This allows the camera to record motion and then stop it at the end with the flash.



Conversely, with front-curtain sync, when the flash turns off first and then the camera picks up motion, it can distort the moment you try to stop.



GOING TO FLASH.

Dragging the shutter can allow you to use blur to your advantage, creating the effect of an object crossing your path. This helps capture the sense of motion, an effect usually seen in professional auto racing photos. Otherwise, taking a photo with enough speed to stop the action results in an image that lacks the same dynamic atmosphere.



Of course, the longer focal length of a long lens increases the likelihood of noticeable camera shake and blur at slower shutter speeds, which can sometimes be creatively desirable. Generally speaking, a 50mm lens should be used with a shutter speed of at least 1 / 50th of a second to produce a sharp image. Moving slower than that will probably result in motion blur, whether desirable or not. The 24mm lens has the same effect at about 1/225th of a second; the 100mm lens at 1/2100th of a second. Some tara wedding photographers at https://taraweddings.ca/wedding-videography/ even try to reduce the shutter speed to 1 / 15 seconds or slower with a 24mm lens or to at least 1 / 60 seconds with a longer lens to create maximum blur.



During a typical wedding day, many moments can make perfect use of this technique; from the bride's hasty preparations at home to members of the bridal party walking down the aisle, to the newly crowned couple walking out of the church as husband and wife for the first time. In any of these cases, panning the camera along the path of your subject will create that stunning "frozen in time" effect, complete with a blurry background of motion. When editing your shot, keep as much of the motion-filled background as possible, as this is really what gives the moment life and a sense of place.



Panning the camera around the scene at slow shutter speed also turns any light source, be it candles or light bulbs, into streaks of light that can create some interesting effects. Turning the camera in a circle during a long exposure produces circular bands of light. Another trick worth trying is to zoom in and out when the shutter is open, which can create some fun effects. Experiment, but realize that some techniques can be difficult to keep up with the plan.

lesson 1 	locations and directions

This fun video lesson is ideal for an upper-int or advanced level class or a lesson about language learning.  Use the link below and follow the worksheet.  Stop for the first half after Dr. Pilley says "it makes me happy" to allow discussion and to read the questions for the second half.



I recommend putting on the closed captions but warn the class that sometimes they captions are wrong (for example, they say "buy influence" instead of "by inference."

Video Lesson: Dog Language Learning

This Christmas themed board game is designed to be easy to adapt to different levels. I will create 21 Christmas themed questions for each ornament of the tree depending on the age group. The objective is for the students to correctly answer questions so that their angel placemarker will reach the top of the tree (meanwhile stopping a few times to sing some Christmas carols, which gives younger students some brain breaks to help focus as well as include a cultural element to the game). I will design cards with the purpose of getting the students speaking and recalling vocabulary but it could also be used to drill grammar, write sentences, however you like. Hope this is useful :-)

Christmas Tree Board Game

This is an urban legend. They read the story, then do the T/F exercise, then answer the questions. There are a few difficult constructions here (conditional perfect tense - they would have been killed), but the questions are not too difficult. Full key provided.

RC: Stop! Do not go!

A short simple text for beginners.  The main aim is the tasks that follow - following the directions to learn to circle an answer, underline, highlight, true or false, odd one out.  You need to stop the students ploughing ahead but make them complete one activity at a time & check they have followed the directions (which may need to be pre-taught).
