Famous (Serbian) families

U ovo teško vreme vanrednih okolnosti kad su škole zatvorene, a sa učenicima se viđamo samo u virtuelnom svetu, moji učenici iz dva odeljenja 2. razreda Palanačke gimnazije obavili su sjajan posao. Uložili su veliki trud, i čak su našli načina da to obave u grupama – dogovarali se, zajednički osmišljavali i napravili sjajne prezentacije.

Zadatak je bio da predstave poznatu (srpsku) porodicu iz sveta sporta, biznisa, muzike, ili pak kraljevsku porodicu.

Zahvaljujem se svim učenicima na odličnoj saradnji.

European Day of Languages

,,PALANAČKA GIMNAZIJA“ priduržila se obeležavanju Evropskog dana jezika. U holu škole, u petak 25. septembra, održana je priredba pod nazivom ,,KOLIKO JEZIKA GOVORIŠ, TOLIKO LJUDI VREDIŠ“. Inicijativu za proslavu ovog značajnog događaja za naš kontinent pokrenuo je Aktiv profesora stranih jezika, a najveći deo organizacije samog događaja na sebe je preuzeo Učenički parlament naše škole na čelu sa predsednikom Lazarom Kuzmanovićem. U programu je učestvovalo 20-tak učenika koji su pevali i recitovali na stranim jezicima – engleskom francuskom, ruskom i latinskom.

Tema ovogodišnje proslave u Evropi je MULTILINGVALIZAM, kao faktor od vitalne važnosti za savremeno društvo i odraz razvijenosti i prilagođenosti svake evropske zemlje, posebno u vreme migracija i zajedničkog življenja ljudi koji pripadaju različitim kulturama i koji govore različitim maternjim jezicima. Osim poznavanja različitih jezika, treba naglasiti i razumevanje različitih kultura i tradicija naroda i zemalja u Evropi i u svetu, što nužno vodi u toleranciju, razumevanje i skladan suživot ljudi iz svih delova sveta.

Shakespeare – 450 years alive and counting

In order to join the worldwide celebration of the 450th anniversary of the birth of William Shakespeare, today,  my third-year students 🙂 in Palanačka gimnazija and I have had a model lesson titled “William Shakespeare – The Man, His Work and His Legacy“. I would like to thank my colleagues for coming, my colleague assistants for helping me during the lesson, and last but not least, special thanks go to my students (3/5) for being utterly cooperative and attentive.

Here is the link to the presentation, my modest contribution to the great event:

Mind Maps

To all those who could describe themselves as “mind map“ types of learners I warmly recommend the site I have recently come across. There you can get a free download of this application which you can use extensively for learning many subjects. Once you master the technical things about creating a mind map, you can find it both exciting and extremely useful.

The address where you can find more about this and download the application for free is the following:
