A real hero
This is a worksheet I constructed which practises some higher level personality description vocab and allows the students to discuss their idea of a hero. The second part involves watching some video clips which the students must then discuss - it revises the vocab and gives them a chance to have a free discussion about an interesting topic. I ho...

Stardust
This is a very basic worksheet that I used to guide a discussion on the film stardust. You can present information on the characters beforehand or just ask them to think about it and write it up after the movie (the first part). We used the questions as a simple guide to discussion. The kids got very into the discussion. (I have a power point pr...

Spiders
This is the second of my horror story worksheets. The story is an urban legend which you can find many versions of on the net. This has been adapted specially for my pre-intermediate class.

Summarising verbs
This is a speaking activity to practise using summarising verbs. The sheets should be cut out and then the students should match the summarising verb to the correct example. They should then use the verbs to report what was said. Suggested answers are included on the second sheet. Hope this is helpful.

Charlie Winston - In Your Hands
I used this song to practice future tenses and revise some bits and bobs of grammar with an intermediate pre-teenage group. It�s a great song and here is a link to the video on youtube. I also think it would be great for discussion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfQbvn2ACzc

Ghost stories

I�ve also done it as a �running reading� with the text put up in various places. I often start the lesson by cutting the stories in half and having the kids find the person with the other half of their...

England and Spain
This is a double worksheet. The first tells the students a little about England while practising some simple geographical features vocab. The second is about Spain. It can be completed with the same vocabulary as the first although this isn�t marked on the sheet. There is one mistake in the first worksheet - so sorry! It should say island and ...
