The great thing about it is that Poirot speaks the French(i. e. Belgian) English, so they love correcting his word order and pronunciation. This is a classical ws to check understandi...

The Prince of Bel Air - a teenage play
This is a short teenage play based on the sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel Air (remember Will Smith�s early years). It was made up for a group fo teenagers who got the chance to perform it in the theatre in front of their parents and guests, but we only had about 5 lessons to write it and rehearse it. It is therefore very simple, funny, revolves arou...

children�s play - THE TORTOISES� PICNIC
Here�s another play I have to share with you - based on another traditional English story. It�s a funny play about a family of tortoises who decide to go on a picnic. I tried it with preschoolers (6-7 yrs old, 2nd & 3rd year of learning), and with school kids (7-9 yrs old), and both times it turned out great. It combines topics like family, food, n...

the Mom song
I loved doing this with my students. It can be used with the video on You Tube with a woman singing this in an opera fashion to William Tell Ouverture. It concerns family, it is perfect for teenagers, pure grammar in disguise...It is pure joy to listen to her and teenagers really get a kick out of it...

MY COUSIN VINNY - advanced ws for the great comedy
A great comedy with Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei - both wonderfully charming, unforgettable scenes... I did it with teenagers, because it�s about 2 teenagers who get into some serious trouble, and linked it to our court/crime lesson, because a lot of it takes place in court. The ws requires a lot of active writing, but they don�t mind, because they r...
