Basic Level Writing Mistakes
I developed this worksheet after having collected my students a writing about their last holidays.
I made a list of their "hit-parade" mistakes, so that all of them could correct their own and their mates�s mistakes.
They found it useful, so now I do it every time a collect a writing.
Hope it helps you :)

THE FAMILY TREE
Simple but funny activity where students have to think a little bit in order to get conclusions, know who�s who, and complete the family tree. I put the students in groups, and they usually get "angry" at the very beginning, but then all the groups try to be the first ones and "win the competition". Hope you like it!!

CLEAR SUMMARY CHART for THERE IS-ARE, A, SOME, ANY
I�ve designed this guide for Beginner-Elementary students.
It�s not unusual to have some of them experiencing problems with SOME-ANY. So I prepared this (rather clear, I think) summary chart, with colours and examples, so that they can understand it properly.
It worked very well when I used it, even with weak adult students.
Hope it helps!!!

It�s a listening activity divided as usual in three parts: fill-in-the-g...
