Which is best: learning at home or at school?
The pros and cons of learning at home during lockdown. They match up the pictures, then decide if the arguments are pro or con. Then they are asked to write a paragraph about how home schooling is going or went for them. It�s a shame there is no real student voice about this...

Dumb Brits!
These are real exchanges, taken from the net - people giving silly answers to seemingly straightforward quiz questions. The students read the excerpts, have a laugh (hopefully!) then answer the questions. (I have included the right answers to the questions!) Edit: and I�ve got one wrong!:-))) Mt Etna is in Italy, as Sicily isn�t a country.

Christmas Activities
There are some great cliparts on here! I have set the activities/questions to fly in. You might want to just show the images first and get the pupils to describe them. Or play �Splat!� Two pupils come to the board. Teacher describes an image. The pupil to touch it first is the winner.

How did you do this year?
It�s the end of the academic year in some parts and a chance for the students to have a bit of self reflection time. The language used is the language of assessment and although I have prepared this for native speakers, I hope it might be useful for some of you.

Mona Lisa vs Medusa
Making comparisons/ drawing analogies is a great way to teach EAL. This made a great lesson and so I continued with more comparisons: Harry Potter vs Gandalf, Batman vs Jack Sparrow etc. Great fun, great for language development.
