Was, were and did in communicative questions
My students were often uncertain about when to use did or was/were in past simple questions, so I put together this material to help them not only to understand when each one is used, but also to use the questions to meaningfully communicate with their classmates. My students are 6th graders, but the questions can be edited to cater for different s...

A lesson on gratitude
Students often comment on the fact that the verb "take" has several different meanings. While brainstorming idioms, phrases and phrasal verbs with the verb "take", I suggested "take for granted", and my students didn�t know what it meant.

Lucky, by Jason Mraz
This activity works better if students don�t know the lyrics of the song by heart, because then they�ll have to activate their schemata in order to predict which word best completes each verse. It is a slow song, good to sing along.

Christmas conversation questions
These conversation questions come with and without blanks. If you use them with blanks, the conversation activity can also be used to review vocabulary and structure. I suggest you cut the strips and put them in a box. Then play a song while the students pass the box around. When the music stops, the student who has the box picks up a question, r...

Video lesson on Encouragement
This is a worksheet I created to work with a short video from You Tube called "The frog". The title could be "The deaf frog", but that would be a spoiler, because the fact that the frog is deaf is key to understanding its reaction.
