There�s music in idioms... or vice versa?
This is a short reading I wrote myself which has loads of idioms in it. In class, I made it a game. I read the text twice and students had to write down all the idioms they could hear.

Where the Wild Roses grow
This is a listening comprehension (with answer key) I have used for my students in year 4/grade 10 (Belgium). You will need the song by Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue to be able to use it since it is based upon this song. I have used a special technique to mark the first question, but that is just to avoid that the studens will guess (True - False que...

Writing exercise: The best thing that has happened to me during this lockdown.
This is a writing exercise that my 10th graders have to do. We have decided to only focus now on those subjects that really matter next year for our students when they have to make a more explicit choice in their studies.
