Victoria has asked me to post this on her behalf.

I am an English teacher at Harel Junior High School in Holon. I prepared and taught a lesson

about using idioms in both English and Hebrew. I used several YouTube video presentations

about different types of idioms and their translations into Hebrew. During the lesson I used

YouTube Quizzes as technological tools to achieve better understanding of idioms. The reason

why I used these technological tools was to teach the students higher order thinking skills of

comparing and contrasting, distinguishing different opinions , understanding cause and

effect. The students   showed interest in the lesson. They were really enthusiastic towards

the material and participated well. 

The lesson was successful and the topic was interesting. I 'd like to  incorporate more idioms

during my next lessons.  In addition to that I will also use different websites and

presentations about idioms during the whole year while presenting new words and topics to my students.

Finally, I want to share with you the list of idioms that I used in the lesson.
