Christmas is coming - beautiful poetry and activities
This is my choice of absolutely beautiful Christmas poetry by the Ghignas, and activities based on it.

COLDPLAY - VIVA LA VIDA
A great song which provides good background for grammar revision (tenses) and afterwards you can have a debate on how fame changes people... I found it very useful, and even added a writing activity later on about the fame topic. I was pleasantly surprised with the maturity of some essays.
