2015- The Year of the Goat

This worksheet is based on the famous story "The wolf and the seven little goats". You can find many books telling the story, printing a pdf document (here is one: http://www.gmsdinkelscherben.de/downloads/erasmus/wolf.pdf) or even watch a video with your students (here is one example too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86qeLlC5lHU) 

Thus, you can use this worksheet as a listening-comprehension, reading comprehension or "video" comprehension. 

The wolf and the seven little goats

Drama "Three little goats and the wolf"

A traditional Italian riddle my dad used to tell me as a child. Some of my older Greek and Macedonian speaking students also recall this from their own school days.

A Man - A Wolf - A Goat and A Cabbage Brainteaser

A narrative tenses exercise using sentences that contain both the past simple and the past continuous.

Then there is a gap fill story, using both tenses.

Past simple and continuous

3 Pages of conversation ideas about everyday annoyances.What really gets your goat? (Gets you really annoyed?) It's a good idea to think about and speak about what annoys you, because then you recognize that a problem exists. From there you can try to find a solution to the situation- and if that's not possible- then change your attitude from annoyance to acceptance. Not easy but doable. The 4th page has blank cards for the student to come up with his/her own ideas and then have paired conversations.
