Rainforest Animals that are Endangered
This is a great warm-up exercise for low level English students or students whose alphabet is not the Roman alphabet. I will upload the actual pictures of the animals that can be used in a matching exercise as well. Sometimes I include the alphabet at the top of the worksheet (I didn�t for this one), but also, you can use any alphabet website and h...

Classifying Factors of Production
I teach Economics to EFL kids in Korea. This is a worksheet I designed to help them understand the different items that can be classified as land, labor or capital. In particular, that land can actually be the natural resource "water." Hope someone finds it useful. Know it has limited appeal.

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.

Forest Family Forever Summary
This is a summary of the video at RAN.org�s Forest Family Forever Video. I had the students read the summary first, before showing the video. This served two purposes: it gave the students an opportunity for reading comprehension and it assisted the students in listening comprehension. The pictures were obtained at www.fotosearch.com to aid compreh...

South Korea and the Day of the Trees
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.

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...

Who Wants to Be A Millionaire Verb Tense Review
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...

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...

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...
