Kids and exam answers - student bloopers used to learn
This project is also inspired by a post in the forum about students´ science exam answers/bloopers and expanded using some ´false´ definitions many of you wrote (I hope nobody minds my using it as inspiration and linguistic material). I decided again to use laughing at mistakes as prevention for making one. Using funny texts with advanced levels (a...

JUDGING BY APPEARANCES - advanced/intermediate ws
This is a wonderful inspirational text which was posted not long ago in our ESL cafe by Lucia13.

There are pre, while and post-reading tasks, as well as the original version of the text. I hope you find it as moti...

AVATAR - movie follow-up worksheet 1
This is the first worksheet (2-pager) based on texts about the movie Avatar. I wasn´t sure whether to put it under intermediate or advanced, but everybody knows their sts best. It´s some vocabulary work and comprehension work as well. I hope you find it useful. (There are 3 worksheets in the collection.)

M. Twain´s THE MAN THAT CORRUPTED HADLEYBURG
This is a project I did with my FCE group for the story The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg. The story is great, and our topic then was politics, so a story about corruption came in handy. I hope you find use for it. The tasks are comprehension, vocabulary and writing.

revision test for teenagers
This is a test based on upper-intermediate materials with an essay task at the end. It´s practical because it covers a little bit of everything, so you can use it as PLACEMENT, too, when you get a new group and you´re not sure how much they know. Practical, more than attractive, but I hope you find it useful!

LOVE ACTUALLY - British humour & great movie story
One of the most charming movies ever, in my book, deserved an extensive ws(Liam Neeson, Rowan Atkinson, Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman...). I watched it with adults and highschoolers (watch it before you do it with sts), and it was fantastic - we did it at Christmas time (or you can do it for Valentine´s day. The ws requires a lot of vocab...

MY GREAT GIANT BOARD GAME no.1 - FANTASY CHALLENGE
This is my pet project (thanks, Isabelucha, for finally motivating me to put it in pc instead of only having the hand-made version)- it´s a giant board game, where the pieces are your students, and you can play it outdoors or indoors (outdoors is so much more fun). The game is based on various fantasy stories from books and movies, and consists of ...

SUMMER DIARY - lots of fun stuff to do
I actually made this in my mother tongue for my son, and then I thought why not do it in English as well - it´s sort of a scrapbook/diary of experiences, books, events, fun.... everything a child goes through during the summer, along with some fun word-bank activities. It´s goal is to inspire imagination and creativity and give the child a sense of...

Kids on everyday life - how kids interprete everyday situations
This is part 2 inspired by yetigumboots´ post about the Middle Wife - I´ve found some anecdotes on how kids interprete everyday life situations based on lack of linguistic or cultural knowledge. It´s funny, and I´ve truned it into speaking and writing activities for my English lessons with kids. I hope you enjoy them.

SIMON AND GARFUNKEL - poetry or songs???
I decided to look for songs that are borderline poetry and remembered Simon and Garfunkel. I wanted something recognizable but not sth my sts hear on the radio every day. I didn´t want many wss or a lot of work for the sts to do, I wanted to create short breaks from double-lessons, or as intro or end to lessons. This is urban poetry with music, and...
