Dear Victor and all the members here
I �m sorry to bring up this subject again, but every day, at the moderator �s page we can see that the moderators are not quite sure about what is acceptable and what isn �t . I �m talking about :
1. We have 4 pasted pictures on a worksheet without any word. . But many of my collegues think it should stay anyway.
2. We have a title, a lot of lines and the words: Write a story
3. We have a picture and the words: describe the picture
In my opinion, these are not an ESL resource, as the example on the right of the moderator page states ( in the case of the flashcards) but I don �t want to be against the other members. Perhaps Victor could give his opinion. |

I also totally agree with Silvia. But unfortunately I believe there are still the same people fighting for useless wss as there were when I was a moderator. I think this really depends on Victor �s decision.
Have a nice day everybody.

Hi, I agree on points 2 and 3, but not on 1. I don �t know you, but I don �t use FCs if they have words on them. They are useless if you want to ask vocabulary to your kids, or play any games. My POV, of course. Have a nice day. Olga |

I agree with Sylvia.
And more than that I am the one who doesn �t understand why a diploma is an ESL resource? Why isn �t it like the templates? Only because it has 2 words: NAME (oh God...I wouldn �t think of it  ) and DIPLOMA (another timesaver word  ).
ESL means ENGLISH first of all and language : how can a pic be ENGLISH?
But...it �s just my opinion. Oh ...and yes...another thousand members too! 
I would agree with the fact that the motivational stickers, diplomas and other stuff like these to be unrated, no points as the templates are. |

Dear dona,
I was once told that diplomas are ESL resources because they motivate children. And if I don �t understand it, I am probably a bad teacher. I won �t name the person who said so as I don �t have good experience with her at all, but I still believe they are NOT esl resources and as you said - should go to templates section.
Have a great Monday, I am going to celebrate our ice-hockey world champions.

Candies motivate students,too. But we can �t write Ss � name on them. MY students would take the candies instead of diplomas. But.....I teach mainly boys in a technical college. What do I know? |

I think that rewards, stickers and diplomas are not worksheets. They should be sent to the tutorial part. |

Hi Sylvia:
If number 3 is ruled out some people may wonder why is a picture with � �describe the picture � � not allowed and a picture with � �describe what they are doing � � to show the present continuous is allowed. |

This is hard, maybe we should think of criteria and vote via doodle?
