Idle Jack - children�s play based on a traditional English story
This is a children�s play I did 12 years ago with my younger teenage students, and lent it to a colleague of mine this year - both times the play went great - all the kids got their roles, the audience was interested, because it�s based on a traditional story, so nobody knew how it would end, and we finished with a Monty Python song played on the g...

Imagine - Lennon�s all time classic
This is the text for Imagine with discussion questions in the task part. I used it one year for New Year�s Day, last year for Earth Day, sometimes I just do it because I feel my sts need sth for the soul. The lyrics themselves can be printed in a bigger format, cut into lines and jumbled, and then let sts put them in the right order while listening...

INKHEART - behind the scenes
Another Inkheart ws - this one is about some trivia behind the scenes (interesting for teenagers). It requires reading and then vocabulary work on the text itself. Again, regardless of the ws, I do recommend the book(s) and the movie to all of you and your sts who love fantasy.

INKHEART - who said what?
This is another one of my wss for the movie Inkheart - beautiful movie and a most wonderful book - a father who can read stories aloud and make things from the fantasy world come to ours... But, as always, there�s a price to pay! I did it with sts from 8-16 and they all loved it. This particular wss is about who said what - which I usually play as ...

Kids and exam answers - student bloopers used to learn
This project is also inspired by a post in the forum about students� science exam answers/bloopers and expanded using some �false� definitions many of you wrote (I hope nobody minds my using it as inspiration and linguistic material). I decided again to use laughing at mistakes as prevention for making one. Using funny texts with advanced levels (a...

It�s funny, and I�ve truned it into speaking and writing activities for my English lessons with kids. I hope you enjoy them.
