Really busy... can you help me?
 

Hi!

I�d like to thank the members who helped me (and my ss) the most this semester. When I download a ws  I save it as (for example): �Personal Pronouns by ______� so I don�t lose track of the member whose ws I used in class and when presenting it to my students, I always say: �Today we�re going to use a ws made by _____ from _____�

My intermediate and elementary students have been curious about all those teachers and they usually ask for more information about them. Unfortunately I rarely have enough.

As the end of the school semester is just around the corner (the finals will be in early December) I thought about preparing a ws for my intermediate students, using the members info they always ask about.

Of course I could use the PM feature for that, but it would be too many effort to explain everything for each one, so I decided to use the forum. Hope it won�t be a disturbing message for the members. I also would like some ideas on how prepare this worksheet (maybe with comprehension questions? a game? what kind of game? etc�)

The members whose worksheets I used the most this semester are: Moravc, Manonski, Lina Ladybird (boardgames), Katiana (pictionaries) , Liz Santiago (PPT games), Anitarobi, David Lisgo, Mena, Coiote.chus (recently found his/hers) and Evelina Maria (mainly with my beginners).

Since I teach 6 classes this semester I used wss by other members as well, but I decided to start this semester with 10 teachers split into two worksheets.

Please, send me a PM for more details, I�m really busy correcting homework and preparing wss for next week, but I�ll answer ASAP. The info I need is:

your country / city

gender and married status (children?)

hobbies, likes and dislikes, etc.

when you started teaching and what you think of our profession

Some of the info I already know, but I�m afraid of giving incorrect information about the teachers my students talk about as if they lived in the city next to us.

For the others whose name I didn�t mentioned, a big THANK YOU, you made my students� learning faster / more pleasant and my life easier.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi, Renoa!
 
I didn �t know your work (too many members here to get to know each one �s...), but I dug through your wss and find one that I can use this semester, the next lesson for my high intermediate is about environment, so it �ll fit perfectly.
 
Thanks a lot!
