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 INKHEART PROJECT - the book
If you�ve always loved fantasy stories like I have and were looking for one for your teenagers, Inkheart might be really interesting for you. I�ve used both the book and movie in class, and they�re really interesting - having the gift to read out things and characters from books into real life, who wouldn�t want that?

pink - don�t leave me - lyrics and rhyming
A great summer hit by Pink - you�ll keep singing it, whether you want to or not... The worksheet is a simple fill-in, but the aftertask requires rhyming skills and vocabulary/spelling in pair work. Rhyming is a great "game" to improve your students� listening skills and spelling - it teaches them to distinguish between sound and written symbol, so ...

I loved doing this with my students. It can be used with the video on You Tube with a woman singing this in an opera fashion to William Tell Ouverture.

elementary or intermediate? - that is the question
I use this sometimes when I get a new group and I�m not sure about their knowledge level. It can also be used for revision or as a test, but I sometimes just use it to play games with it. It helps me assess the level, because it covers some basic things, but also checks some vocabulary finessing, spelling problems and tenses. Try it!
