American football - internet quest
This is a part of a series I�m donig with my kids called �The English Passport� where they have the option to do extra work about different aspects of life in English speaking countries.

A real hero
This is a worksheet I constructed which practises some higher level personality description vocab and allows the students to discuss their idea of a hero. The second part involves watching some video clips which the students must then discuss - it revises the vocab and gives them a chance to have a free discussion about an interesting topic. I ho...

Technology Questionnaire

Why were you late?
The first text can be used any way you like really. I started of with a general question (do you beleive George?), got students to retell the story and then elicited the grammar (difference between past simple and past continuous). You could use it for anything you like though - acting it out is another option with younger kids. It�s certainly a...

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...

Creating a soap opera
I used this worksheet with a teen group to help them structure their project which was to write and perform a ten minute sketch of a soap opera scene. We brainstormed typical soap opera plots first and had previously done work on the past simple and on emotions which we included in the plays. The group really got into it and produced some great...
