Task 1:
I found some interesting idioms with the word “ear”:
Task 2:
When I typed in the word "wing", I learned that the players have such positions (left wing, right wing), there are examples of wing shapes (delta wing, straight wing, swept-back wing, tapered wing, variable geometry wing) and the theater can have wings.
We can benefit from the section “Blog this” including the illustrations and terminology found on www.visualdictionaryonline.com in our own blogs.
Task 3:
http://www.ozdic.com/ may be useful to find collocations and similar words.
The online dictionary http://quotes.dictionary.com/ can help my students find how to spell a word and its syllables; also, they can find the word origin and its history.
http://itools.com/tool/cambridge-international-dictionary-of-idioms is a great way for my students to find a variety of idioms.
If I used the online dictionary http://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/, my students could distinguish quickly the part of speech and its translation into other languages.
This Merriam-Webster section could be interesting for my students because they would find illustrations, the word introduced in sentences, the meaning of the word in different domains, rhymes and even comments on each word.
http://www.forvo.com/ would allow my students to listen and learn the correct word pronunciation.
Task 4: My favorite lesson plan idea is, BBC Dictionaries, because it contains rich and interactive activities and the exercises are like games.
