St Patrick's Day Lesson

In this class we used the following material from Reward English: a quiz about Saint Patrick, Ireland and the Irish, a text to check the answers to the quiz and finally a crossword puzzle to review the new words and to learn more about the topic (the answers to all the clues are in the text). The students were surprised to learn that the official colour of Ireland is blue!

Burns Night

As a Scottish person, I generally celebrate Burns Night on the 25th of January. This evening of haggis eating and poetry reading is in honour of Scottish national poet, Robert Burns. In this lesson, there is a video from scotland.org about Burns' life as well as a worksheet and a hilarious video all about haggis that also comes with a worksheet. Everything is on the padlet below. The fantastic haggis video came from Michelle Henry's website.

Questions for a Scottish person: survey and presentation

Both groups made a questionnaire using Google forms which I sent out to friends and family to be filled out. Each team had to find questions related to the theme they had done brainstorming on in the previous class (see Scotland week 45 materials). They had to think of 5 questions and choose the two best ones for the survey. They were encouraged to use open rather than closed questions.

Group A's survey
Group B's survey

 The students were given the following task for the next 2 sessions, which involved creating a Powerpoint presentation about their survey results.

"The Voice" descriptions game

Hi, Here is a class that I think is perfect for students in "seconde" as it allows them to practise describing people using the Voice TV show. I got this idea from Svetlana's ELT-Cation blog. I've made a padlet to go with this lesson :
I'll also be using clines to help the students revise the modals and adverbs of possibility. This is a idea taken from ELT Recipes

Scotland resources for week 45 classes

Dear all,

The materials entitled 'Scotland' that I've just posted are what I'm planning to use in classes this week to present my home country. All of these material were created on GoConqr, which lets you create quizzes, slide show, mindmaps etc. Hopefully this will work well in your classes! I am also going to use a guessing game activity where the students have to ask yes/no questions to find out information about me.
