This technique can be used in many ways. It is simple and focused both on student listening skills and also creating class atmosphere.

1.  Put large posters of "Yes" and "No" at opposite ends of the classroom. (you might also use "Rocks! - Sucks!  or "I think so" or "I don't think so" etc....)

2.  Students stand. Read a statement such as "I love chocolate…

SCC – Student Created Content

PDF
I'm a big fan of student created content. That's my own term for resources which aren't from the textbook but from the student's own aprior knowledge, world and mind. Personalized teaching. Students create the materials for learning/practicing English. In doing so, they are more interested in the topic because it is from themselves and also they have the necessary context to prompt output / speech. Find many examples by clicking…

   Foldables are a great way to make your lessons "active" and also more about fostering thinking skills.

They can be of all sorts. Just start with a piece (or pieces) of paper and get the students folding and labeling.  Like HERE.

They can be as elaborate as Accordion Books or as simple as a 4 square graphic organizer. Go

Mr. X – Story book writing

Writing storybooks is a great way to reinforce grammar and vocabulary. It also gives students confidence and pride in "producing" something visible and tangible to measure their English language learning experience.

There are several steps to making a storybook and I'll use my own Mr. X's incredible Day/Yesterday as an example. Get the ppt/video here for use with students.

1.  Tell the story…

Kids love to draw! Use that interest to develop their English.

This lesson recipe is my "go to" lesson. An idea which you can use at the last minute for almost any children's class. Also a good lesson when unprepared or just plain tired/hungover! (it happens).

Give each student a blank A4 piece of paper. Draw a large rectangle on the board. Give the chalk…
