willow - the movie
This is a worksheet for the movie Willow. It�s not new, but it�s great for classes (esp if your kids like magic - Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings...), because most kids nowadays haven�t seen it, so it keeps them on their toes and it covers a lot of fairytale vocabulary, as it�s full of magic, fairies, brownies, warriors, a princess, a wicked queen,...

THE BLADE RUNNER WORKSHEETS
These are worksheets I used with my advanced classes who liked science fiction. Since Avatar and Star Trek have had a huge success with them and awakened interest in this topic, I�ve always found it interesting, in such situations, to awaken the interest in some older, more classical, works, such as this movie. The worksheets are b&w and editable, ...

QUESTIONS AND TAGS - AGAIN
Here�s another OE with lots of question-making practise. It is based on interesting, little known facts of life from karmas.korner, which makes a rather dull grammar task more interesting and quite fun. Lots of wh-questions to make and even more question tags! Hope it�s of use!

FANTASY LAND -PART ONE
I made this OE to accompany my Fantasy Land project (5 wss available with posters, projects and games).

DEMONS - IMAGINE DRAGONS
Trying to find a new song that has a message and no lyrics I would have to censor, I came across this one.
