							| Past simple and past continuous are probably the largest grammar categories here at ESL. Just write past simple in the search column above and start looking.
 There are millions of great worksheets there.
 
 good luck

							| First you have to decide about the topic you want to deal with.Then there are the five questions that the topic has to answer, which are:"what, where, when, why and who."."how " is usually done without sentences shouldn �t be long.Ask the students(journalists) to begin with the most important event in their story(that �s what we call "inverted pyramid").Pictures are very meaningful , so they have to be chosen carefully.
 HOPE THIS HELPS.
