pink-sober-lyrics and discussion
Fascinating woman, Pink, and a very interesting song! Kids are usually surprised when we read the lyrics through - they think it�s about something else and they never expect serious things from her(funny how image influences us!). Anyway, they have to fix spelling in the song, and afterwards there are some discussion questions about addiction in ge...

The Little Christmas Spider - children�s play

safety tips - how safe is our world
I did this one with my FCE students. I got the text by e-mail from a friend and thought it provides good background for a lot of vocabulary work(on page 2) and a strong debate, since at times the safety tips in it seem sensible, and at times I thought �oh, come on, that�s paranoid�. It was an interesting debate, and I even got some spontaneous essa...

It�s fu...
