            Write a love letter using similes 
            
            Great for teaching similes or as a Valentine�s Day writing activity.  My junior high students enjoyed writing letters to fictional characters (e.g., Doraemon) instead of real people.  Whatever works!  Included: (1) A practice sheet with a sample letter; (2) A writing sheet with a space for drawing a picture of the beloved!

            Lyrics Worksheet: No Particular Place to Go by Chuck Berry 
            
            This 2-page worksheet contains a "Before Listening" section in which students match phrases from the song to their meanings, a "Listening" section in which students fill in the blanks, and an "After Listening" section in which students summarize the story contained in the song.  The song itself is fairly fast-paced, so it probably works better with...

            Symbols of Valentine�s Day  
            
            Perhaps you could save this for next year?  This introductory Valentine lesson covers listening, vocabulary, and speaking.  On the first page, students do a simple listening practice (see page 3 for transcript), match vocabulary to pictures, and do a wordsearch. The second page is a simple conversation board game, with easy questions appropriate fo...

            Oral History Project 
            
            This project lets students tell and record their own stories (or that of a family member.) First, the teacher plays a clip featuring a short oral history (I�m planning to use the intro segment of the "First Day" episode of "This American Life". You can listen to and download episodes from their website or via iTunes. Another good source for persona...

            Love Clinic 
            
            Perfect way to combine a Valentine�s Day theme with the "should" modal.  I recommend using 2 periods for this.  First, have students read a letter from an advice column about romance.  This would be a good time to introduce romance-related vocabulary.  (Sorry, no handouts for this, yet.)  Then, have students write their own fictional "love problem"...

            Students match vocabulary words for musical genres and moods to their pictures.  Very simple, so could be used to introduce a lesson about music.

First, students write 3 unique (ideally, subjective) survey questions, using the form, "Is (Are) ...[adjective] or [adjective]?"  Then, they interview 5 classmates, note their answ...

Students learn about the history of instant ramen and answer questions on this worksheet. (If you book in advance, you can also have your students make their own packets of instant ramen for free.)
