What's your hobby?

I bet, everyone has given such a topic at least once! :) If not hobby, then 'Tell us about your favourite music/animal/game/toy/magazine/gadget'. When students write such essays, the works are usually seen only by their teacher. If they post their answers here on a blog, everyone will read them!

For example, my hobby is scrapbooking. That is making post cards, decorating photo albums... I've started recently, but I'm already a big fan. Scrapbooking is very popular in the USA and UK. They have lots of gorgeous shops with equipment for it.




Now, your task
- tell us about your hobby in a few sentences. You can post links to pictures (you can't insert a picture into a comment)
- can you justify the use of blog for this activity?

    The main my hobby is my children. I like to rise them, play with them, teach them. Also I like surfing the net and a little bit gardening.
    I think that pupils like such activities, because it's the best way to express yourself.

    Hi! My name is Liubov. I enjoy travelling sooo much! I believe travelling is the best way to see the world!
    As teachers, we can bring authentic objects(like tickets) from the countries we`ve visited and use them on our lessons :)

    I love travelling, taking photos, doing sports, dancing, singing and many others. I suppose every teacher should be interested in quite a lot of things. Actually my job is one of my hobbies.

    I'm Kate and I'm fond of different kind of crafts - anything from sewing toys and up to scrapbooking.
    As far as the task is concerned, I'm sure that's a great way for students to share the information about their individual interests and to practice the topic at the same time. I'd use it :))))

    I like reading and travelling
    The idea to use a blog for this specific topic is great because you can create a really 'personalised' entry with links embedded (cos i like redaing blogs as well), with pictures (from dif countries), video , music, - everything you could think of)

    I enjoy soap making. Beautiful and very simple - http://planetforward.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/soap-making-300x289.jpg . Well, but scrap booking is also very exciting so I would like to have a try on that, too.
    Task for students: "A Hobby funfair" Advertise your hobby and see how many likes
    you can get from your group mates. The one with the most number of likes will get no homework!

    My hobby is cooking. Feel free to post links to your favourite recipes! (this is an example of why using this kind of task can be a good educational tool -- it can generate longer written discussions).

    1.I love cross-stitching and various types of embroidery. A teacher must have some hobby - it motivates children. It is important to share your ideas with children.
    2. Everyone has a hobby, this task is good for developing speaking and writing skills.
