EMINEM & RELATIONSHIP ABUSE
I know Eminem�s lyrics have certain elements that should be censored, but I just couldn�t resist using this song (Love the Way You Lie), the previous events with Rihanna, and the sad reality of increasing abuse in relationships not to use it all for wss. Naturally, it�s up to you to decide who you can use it with(perhaps older teenagers and adults)...

Kids and exam answers - student bloopers used to learn
This project is also inspired by a post in the forum about students� science exam answers/bloopers and expanded using some �false� definitions many of you wrote (I hope nobody minds my using it as inspiration and linguistic material). I decided again to use laughing at mistakes as prevention for making one. Using funny texts with advanced levels (a...

STARDUST - wordsearchES
And another Stardust ws - this one different again. In this one sts have 2 different wordsearching tasks - one typical (to look for movie words and names in a grid) and one which makes them match beginnings and the ending of the sentences. My sts found that one especially interesting, because it seemed, but only seemed, very easy. Have fun watching...

The teacher�s version is first, and then there are several small printable/photocopiable versions for kids. I had my kids do it as a reading test, then write the same thing about another animal in their notebooks, then they switched notebooks and tried t...

100 ways to praise a child
I got this text by e-mail from a friend, so I don�t know whose it is, but I hope nobody minds my turning it into a ws (page 1) and a lesson-plan(page 2). It�s such a beautiful text, full of positivity (to finish your school year maybe), and in the lesson plan you can find ideas on how to expand it into sth more complicated and even more serious(dis...
