Charlie Winston - In Your Hands
I used this song to practice future tenses and revise some bits and bobs of grammar with an intermediate pre-teenage group. It�s a great song and here is a link to the video on youtube. I also think it would be great for discussion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfQbvn2ACzc

Shipwrecked
This is a writing exercise. Part of the story is already written and the students have to complete the rest of the story. For each space there are instructions as to what they have to write (e.g. what happened next?)

Creating a soap opera
I used this worksheet with a teen group to help them structure their project which was to write and perform a ten minute sketch of a soap opera scene. We brainstormed typical soap opera plots first and had previously done work on the past simple and on emotions which we included in the plays. The group really got into it and produced some great...

Stardust
This is a very basic worksheet that I used to guide a discussion on the film stardust. You can present information on the characters beforehand or just ask them to think about it and write it up after the movie (the first part). We used the questions as a simple guide to discussion. The kids got very into the discussion. (I have a power point pr...
