Another reading activity for mixed ability groups. I got a similar story in an email some time ago. As it struck me hard, I decided to share this great story with my Ss. I abridged it, slightly modified to suit different Ss needs/tastes and added some exercises to practise the Past Simple tense.
In the uploaded Ws you can find the same text with 6 modifications. Additionally each modification comes in two versions: Version A-for stronger/quicker Ss in the group and Version B for weaker/slower ones.
Another idea: You can hand out all copies (altogether there are 12 of them)
The key is included.

Everybody enjoys a good laugh. Here you will find two police jokes which I used to help my students practise collaborative reading and writing. The task implies speaking as well. Teaching notes are on the last page. Have fun!
PS Make sure you remove the watermark. Otherwise the task will be too easy. I only put it so you can see what the jokes are about.

A listening exercise for the song "Dumb ways to die", which has gone viral on the internet. Authored by John Mescall, this song was commissioned by the Australian Railway company to encourage passengers to be cautious at train stations. Its dark humor and cute characters made it an instant hit among both adults and children.

This song could be connected with the topic of public transportation, urban life or the Darwin Awards. In my class, I used it to connect to the previous class where students wrote and shared their bucket lists with eachother.

Lesson plan:

1. Warmer: Show 4 characters. Let students guess what happened to them. Introduce the song, and before listening, elicit some more dumb ways to die. Discuss the suggestions briefly with the class.

2. Listen to the song. Have students fill in as many gaps as possible. Listen again, then discuss each character' fate. To speed things up, you can also do the checking by projecting the lyrics onto the board, if you have that technology in class.

Here's the characters in isolated animations:
