ACTIVE READING - oxymora
This is a collection of 5 worksheets dealing with oxymorons or oxymora (as you like it) in the English language. The worksheets require reading and writing and are very useful for advanced teenage and adult levels, including FCE and CAE levels. The tasks are rather demanding, but dealing wiht oxymory is highly challenging for the sts. I hope it�s u...

Idle Jack - children�s play based on a traditional English story
This is a children�s play I did 12 years ago with my younger teenage students, and lent it to a colleague of mine this year - both times the play went great - all the kids got their roles, the audience was interested, because it�s based on a traditional story, so nobody knew how it would end, and we finished with a Monty Python song played on the g...

Batman Begins
This is a follow-up activity for the movie Batman Begins. The first part briefly checks their understanding of the story, but they very much enjoy the second part, and I got some great ideas and essays from my students on that topic.

EMINEM & RELATIONSHIP ABUSE
I know Eminem�s lyrics have certain elements that should be censored, but I just couldn�t resist using this song (Love the Way You Lie), the previous events with Rihanna, and the sad reality of increasing abuse in relationships not to use it all for wss.

This lesson plan contains a detailed, several-page set of instructions and various texts about famous people from human hist...

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...
