The Crocodile - Roald Dahl (reading writing activity)
This is a great activity for students to use prediction to piece together a famous poem. First work with the verses and then with the lines in each verse. If you have access, students can check their answers using the youtube link. After, students are to write two verses in the same structure.

Advertisement - Sports Bar
This is a speaking task as well - students need to present/pitch their advertisement to the rest of the class. This is great as a group work activity but is equally effective done individually. Included are marking rubrics for both speaking and writing sections.

Natales Song - Sia
This is great for inferring tone and mood. The main themes are friendship, support and sadness and this generates discussion amongst students. The tasks themselves are great practice and are a little more tricky than a cloze passage. I used this with pre-intermediate teens and they enjoyed it. From here we used the themes for anecdotal speaking tas...

Accidentally in Love - Counting Crows

It helps to read the text as a class and then for students to complete the que...
