This is a great reading comprehension activitiy for intermediate students with comp questions at the end. Vocabulary is in bold. In a class on rainforests, this can be used to show a success story.

The Rainforest Song by JP Taylor
This is a great song if you are doing a Greenhouse Effect or Global warming class. The song can be easily found on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrcU514z6nM). The words are on the screen of the song. It gives the students a great way to practice the rhythm of English, and it�s very appropriate. I have the students repeat the words after m...

The Blue Whale - Reading Comprehension

KWL Chart for Greenhouse Effect Vocabulary
I use this KWL chart as a warm-up exercise for my Greenhouse Effect class for Korean middle school students. This way I see how much they already know so I know how to proceed. Use it in combo with the Greenhouse Vocabulary with pictures that I uploaded. I find it very useful.

Go FISH or Have You Got? Game Part II of III
This is part II of III. The first part said "Part 1 of 2" but the pictures on this set were larger so I had to split it into three parts. Please be sure to download all three parts. 72 cards, 18 animals, 4 cards each animal. Go Fish game, with instructions included. Lots of fun. Great way to finish off a group lesson with elementary school kids.

Jeopardy Game Verb Tense Review
I have used this on my adult students and they really appreciate it. All tenses. The answers are in MC format so students don�t have to formulate the answer. The questions and answers give the teacher opportunities to teach. Why use "will" instead of "be going to"; present continuous vs. future, etc...

I prepared this for my students today and it worked well. Increasingly difficult beginning with present simple and ending with future perfect, so intermediate level. A nice review of all verb tenses when you have some time for a break and a game. My adult students enjoy these games. Hope yours do! T...

Endangered Animals Jeopardy
This jeopardy game MUST be resaved as Macros enabled. I save it here as ppt, but it must be resaved as ppm (macro enable). You can find it in the drop down menu when you go to save it. This is a great game, and any question (and corresponding answer) can be changed. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes t...

Present Simple Verb Tense, Third Person Singular and Daily Routines
A power point where the students have to decide whether to put an "s" on the end of the present simple tense verb. A bit of a formative in-class assessment to reinforce use of the "s" for 3rd person singular. You can edit and add other slides by copying the format, but I eliminated slides to keep th...
