1. Lead-in: Hangman with spooky music to spell out \'Halloween\'



1. I start with the dominoes as a warm-up and to lead-in the vocabulary.



2. We then check the answers to the dominoes on the Power Point and I add extra information about each word and drill pronunciation.



3. Students then fill out the blank squares in the \'roll-a-story` boxes and then go through the story, rolling the dice to determine the outcome of their story. If there\'s enough time, 1 person from each group reads out the best story. 



3. Students then read the quiz questions for the \'Thriller\' quiz through and watch the video, answering as they watch in groups.



4. We then check the answers interactively by watching through the video again and tapping on the answers.





Halloween Roll-a-story (Thriller Quiz Vocabulary)

Ideal for a short test to check the ability to differentiate between definite and indefinite articles and quantity expressions like much, many, a lot of, some, any.

articles and expressions of quantity

Phrasal verb worksheet with phrasal verb explanations followed by a \'complete the sentences\' task and a quick vocabulary check task.  There is additional information on the difference between travel/trip/journey etc. Discuss/explain the phrasal verbs to your students and once they understand, get get them to complete the worksheet alone or in pairs. Intermediate + Engish level probably best.

PHRASAL VERBS - TRANSPORT & TRAVEL

The worksheet is a simple test to check if the students know "adjectives & opposites". There are 24 commonly-used English adjectives to describe people, animals or things. 

OPPOSITES

Multiple choice tasks mainly on spelling and correct form of irregular verbs.It's really helpful if you include the solutions in the resource as it makes it easier for us in class to check the answers. Also, the solutions make the resource suitable for self-study.

Grammar in Pictures - Irregular Verbs Multiple Choice

This ws helps to check transpot vocabulary and spelling

Transport

The article came from BreakingNewsEnglish, but it has been heavily edited to suit my students. 


I give the article for homework. The next class we do For/Against as a warmer. Then we do the gap fill, vocabulary, and questions. 


Afterwards students work with partners or in groups to complete the various activities. 


The group activity at the end is better for smaller classes. If your class is larger then you might want to check out my murder mystery document. 


This lesson is designed for a 2 hour class. 

Conversation lesson on crime and punishment
