"I just sued the school system"
I use this to start a year with my smart junior-high and high school students.
First we discuss the pictures and relate them to our life in general and then to the educational system. Students DO have what to say on the issue. :)

Then they get a paper (one per table) to com...

PEER PRESSURE
I use it with my 10-11-graders as an opening to the topic "Peer Pressure". After we read the article we have a discussion and they usually get really involved in it.

Poetry brainteaser

She went to sleep and woke up 30 years later
The text is not mine, I found it somewhere in the Net many years ago, simplified it, modified the post-reading questions, added mine together with competitive group activity which my high school students like.

Describing appearance. Stereotypes.
This activity is not really mine, our university teacher conducted something similar many years ago. I just simplified the activity and adapted it for my school students. After we learn the appropriate vocabulary, I divide the class into 2 (or more) groups and give them one of the pages with the task. While discussing and writing they aren�t allowe...

Past Simple through the Song
An old but still nice song to revise Past Simple. If you play the guitar, you may bring it and sing instead of listening to the song on a disc. First I ask students to try and guess the missing words just from the worksheet. My students liked it very much.
