Materials and Resources

Here is one more worksheet for your students narrating the process of making banana chips in passive sentence structures.....



Passive Voice

Worksheet inspired and partially based on Scott22's. This Reading Comprehension provides information on the US Presidential process. When the election takes place, how..., the system of Electors... Hope you find it useful ;)

US presidential election: How it works

This worksheet gives ESOL Entry 2 learners the chance to order words correctly to write a meaningful sentence. They can also pick up new vocabulary words in the process.

Sentences: Word Ordering

This speaking activity is geared towards Intermediate, Upper Intermediate, and Advanced students. The students need to argue to a Panel of Peers as to why they should be granted their wish. The panel sets their own criteria and bases a decision on that. This activity is a process of elimination and the arguments generally get stronger as the contestants reach various stages.

Wish of a Lifetime- The Art of Persuasion

This handout describes the process of small talk, taking a 1-2-3 approach to help our students master this skill. It's meant to be used as a class, with the teacher asking for examples of each step and writing them on the board. Then it can be used as a guide for the students as they work in pairs or small groups.

Steps to Small Talk

This is the first set of flash cards (10 out of 20) dealing with prepositions. They are double: at the front: only the preposition and a picture; at the back: a sentence and a picture, so that you can choose if you want to introduce only the preposition word connected to the picture, or also the preposition in the context of a sentence, which I consider very important in the learning process. The whole set has been created with the aim of making my students familiar with the preposition words and the pictures connected to them, as afterwards they play the games "Snap!!" and "Memory", which they love. I have also uploaded here the little cards to play the games together with the instructions. Enjoy yourself!!

Prepositions Flash Cards

Ss must work in teams to write some sentences that answer some questions to create a scandalous story about famous people. The first person covers what they wrote and pass it to someone else and so on, like the process of an exquisite corpse. Results are funny, particularly if they mix famous people with classmates. Editable, hope you find it useful!

CREATE YOUR SCANDAL

This toolkit can be used as a series of worksheets or they can be fastened together to make a workbook (the front page for the workbook is at the end of the document).



For the first activity in the workbook, the teacher needs to supply the students with small strips of yellow, green, pink, and blue paper. The students write character names, locations, and incidents on the papers, and mix them up with other students papers. They then select them at random, and write their stories based on their choices. Alternatively, you could let the students choose their own ideas. The rest of the workbook explains the process for writing the stories.



Once the workbook has been completed, the teacher can check the drafts before the students write up neat versions of their stories on bordered paper, or on computers. It is fun to have a story reading lesson, where the students read their stories to each other. You could also bind their stories together to make a book of short stories for the classroom, or for parents.

Ocean acidification – the evil twin of climate change

As we keep pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, more of it is dissolving in the oceans, leading to drastic changes in the water's chemistry. Triona McGrath researches this process, known as ocean acidification, and in this talk she takes us for a dive into an oceanographer's world. Learn more about how the "evil twin of climate change" is impacting the ocean — and the life that depends on it.
