Eartquakes 2: How to survive an Earthquake
This is the second part of my earthquake sheet. It can be used on its own as a reading but was originally intended to compliment the other half of the worksheet which practises the third conditional. The sheet doesn�t seem to upload well and the first and third boxes are out of sync. I hope this can be cleared up when you download it. If it can...

Star Signs
You can use this as a reading. There are some scanning questions attached to the end of the sheet. You can also work with the reading however you like. I asked students to decide who their perfect partner would be from the star sign descriptions and also if they agreed that their personality matches the supposed personality for their star sign.

Snow White
This worksheet uses a familiar fairytale. It provides a short reading which highlights the typical phrases found in fairytales (the ultimate idea is that you can use this to form a template for the students to write their own story). It also highlights some new vocabulary and there is a reading comprehension which encourages the students not simp...

Ghost stories
This is a reading exercise. I normally give different readings to different kids and they can then ask each other questions to get the answers. I�ve also done it as a �running reading� with the text put up in various places. I often start the lesson by cutting the stories in half and having the kids find the person with the other half of their...

The Clown Doll - A Halloween story
This is a halloween story I used with a group of pre-intermediate students. It can be used as a reading for pleasure exercise but I used it as a class activity. I gave each group a different story and then different members from each group joined a sharing group and they compared their stories and retold them.

At the bottom of the second page of the worksheet, I have attached a webpage address which has a number of dances explained and songs reccomended. As you�ll see, I�ve also pointed out there are plenty...
