Leyla's Home: A Tale of Love and Rebellion..

    Hello everyone! You won't believe what I just did. I created a poster!!!

    This week's homework is creating a film poster. And the film is an adaptation of Zülfü Livaneli's book (which I posted its review last week). I love this book because it touches on many points. It includes love, passion, the difference between cultures, conflict of generations, and more... For the characters, I choose Meral Çetinkaya for Leyla, Çetin Tekindor for Ali Yekta, Mehmet Günsür for Yusuf, and Berrak Tüzünataç for Rukiye.

   I used Canva. It is a very good and accessible website. You can click here to visit the website. You can sign in with your Google account. It has many good writing styles. It is very easy to use. I recommend it for making a poster, cv, presentation. 

  I will definitely use it in my future classes. I can ask my students to do a poster for their presentation. You can see my poster below:

    Stay tuned!

A New Tool: Padlet!

    Hello everybody, Did you miss me? I've missed you so much. I hope every single of you, who is reading this post, is healthy! Today, we will talk about a new technique. Maybe this is not new for some of you. Padlet! This is a board on which you can write about your ideas or research. We were supposed to do group work. 

    I was with Senanur (https://senawithane.blogspot.com), Halilcan (http://halilcancabuks.blogspot.com/), and Yasemin (yaseminpirim.blogspot.com). We chose a topic together: Coronavirus. And we should write individually, we evaluate it from different aspects. It wasn't that hard for me, I hope not for them too. First, we mentioned the things we already know and then we searched for the things we want to know. We also supported our writings with websites and images.

    This was a very useful thing. Many teachers can use it in their classes. Surprisingly, it can be suitable for any age. I, personally really enjoyed doing it. Tools like that can be extremely helpful and funny for online education. If you want, you can search for more tools like padlet. For example, there are many things; canva, bubbl.us for different purposes.

You can find our padlet below:

    Stay tuned!
