Dear colleagues, 

The first meeting of HUPE Zagorje Branch in school year 2021/2022 will take place on the 12th February 2022 (Saturday) at 10.00 a.m. It will be held online via Zoom. 

Agenda: 

1. Ante Žderić: A Box Of Chocolates 
   In this workshop, we are going to explore the ways of using movies in our lessons. The activities engage students in developing all four language skills along with bits of grammar. 
2. Patricia Alberini: You Can Kill The King Without A Sword 
   This workshop is aimed at those who dare to explore the world of drama in the classroom. It will focus on some practical drama techniques as an alternative to the average lesson when your students get restless or weary. It will also consider activities accompanying the scripts which further pupils’ own discussion, reading and writing skills. 
3. Marta Šarčanin: Language Mediation In 280 Characters Or Less  
   In this workshop, we are going to explore the way we can use literature in our classrooms to develop students’ speaking skills and promote close reading. It will also consider activities we can use for language mediation. 
4. News in HUPE
