We can all do our bit! Introduce them to the topic with this match-up activity. Then, get them to tick the ones they already do. You could ask them to use 'always/sometimes/usually/never'. Discuss the reasons for these actions. Which ones are easy? e.g. turning lights out. Which are more difficult? e.g. planting trees/persuading parents to leave the car at home etc... Finally, put them in a 'pyramid of importance'. Thanks to jecika for the great template.

We all love ISL Collective and if you're anything like me (a self-professed grammar nerd), constantly trying to find new and exciting materials to use in the ESL classroom can be time-consuming and laborious.



I've created this database of websites I've found particularly helpful in the past 14 years that I've been teaching, both as a TESOL trainer and at Ground Zero (in the ESL classroom).  



You won't need to give them your credit card details.  Registering with some of the sites can be a bit of a mission, but you'll reap the rewards!



Please note: I don't possess any copyright to these materials.  Here's to paying it forward and be sure to tell me your favourite websites in the comment section!



If you appreciate this, feel free to pay it forward by buying me a coffee: www.buymeacoffee.com/teacherdiana



Or enquire about our Awesome Interactive Tutor Workshops! Send me a message: teacherdianaonline@gmail.com

This is a worksheet using the website BBC good food

SS use the website to answer questions. There are 3 levels to the worksheet-
