A letter to Cyber Santa
This is a fun poem on Christmas that I do with my 4th year English students (14 to 15-year-olds). The vocabulary is more interesting than just Christmas, and there are some useful grammar points that can be pulled out as well. A good activity for those last difficult hours before the holidays!
