            IN MY OPINION Interviews 
            
            This worksheet is great for getting beginner to intermediate students prepared for expressing their opinions and debating.  In a prior lesson I teach them the new words, brainstorm "hot topics" and together we create opinion statements.  I also teach them to recognize the difference between opinions and truths!
Then, with this worksheet, they ca...

            In My Opinion - Expressing Opinions  
            
            This can really expand an intermediate learner�s ability to express themselves more clearly.  I also created it upon request to teach more debating skills, of which I feel this worksheet is a basic introduction.
This worksheet is an adjunct to my 6 VERB "In My Opinion" Lesson Plan.  The 6 verbs are "I...: think, feel, believe, suspect, doubt, ma...

            Role-Play Conversation Cards 
            
            The uses for these cards are so awesome and diverse! Here are the two main situations I use them in:
- Students use this to create a dialogue around, role-play and present it to the class. This gets hilarious, they�re so creative when you give them the chance to open up.
- Practicing a dialogue alone can be boring, so add these cards to the m...

            Guns and Roses "Don�t Cry" (Upper Beginner-Intermediate Song Cloze) 
            
            This song is quite repetitive, making it great for an intermediate level class. My middle school students are really interested in love and relationships, so this definately kept their attention.

            How are you? Expressions  
            
            This is a great worksheet for expanding the robotic "I�m fine thank you, and you?" Students really appreciate the opportunity to express themselves more clearly and creatively.  I correlate this worksheet with a review of different types of feelings.  It�s great to start a course with this as you can reinforce these new phrases over time.  Enjoy!
