Here is a lesson on reinvented fairy tales. The first slide is to get the pupils to understand the topic we are going to study. Again you need to change my version and make the questions disappear on the click. 

Then there is a speaking activity based on Tex Avery's Little Red Hot Riding Hood. 

This lesson is to be used with high school pupils aged over 15. 

Modern Fairy Tales

Learning and repeating lexis about houses, parts of the house, modern conveniences. Developing speaking skills, describing  a place where your students live. Have fun and enjoy teaching:)

Houses and modern conveniences

This began as an exercise to illustrate different building styles around the world, and no one embodies the concept better than I.M. Pei.

This PPT highlights Pei's life in a traditional biographical form, including the highs, and a low point. It also highlights his projects and their influence on architecture and the modern landscape. Even if you've never heard of the man, you've seen his work. Either you've walked by his buildings or you've seen them in photos, on television, and in the movies.

This is a good starting point for a discussion on cities and buildings. It could be used for cause and effect, jobs, the value of practical training over theoretical education, or a lesson on passive vs active sentences.

Economic Impact of Coronavirus

Economy is one of the pillars of measuring how good or bad a country is doing. To maximize the understanding of your information, our slides come with an appealing duotone effect for the pictures, granting a modern and up-to-date appearance to the design. You’ll notice that most layouts are based on rectangular shapes, which helps getting everything well organized and into place. The title font is bold and the body copy sans font is also geometric in nature. We wanted to include some actual data on the slides as inspiration for you, so don’t miss out on this chance!

I gave this lecture today at a Chinese University about how the English Language has developed since Celtic times, the good thing is we can now hear these languages because of "bard core" on YouTube where these talented vocalists do covers of modern songs in archaic languages, eating, Norse, Old English and like my thumbnail Pumped Up Kicks in Anglos Saxon. I have added the link so you can download my PPT if you want to do it. Had to strip out the videos, but all the YouTube Links are there in the right places for you to use. I think the students enjoyed it.
