One Picture - One Story

(Make up a story)

Hi, There!!!,

This speaking exercise is very easy, you only need some pictures and divide your students into different groups. 

Then, ask them to make up a story looking at these photos. 

Every group has one image and they must answer these helpful questions:

(Make up a story)

1. What are they doing?
2. Where are they?
3. What happened?
4. What do they feel?
5. What do you think it's going to happen?

Your students must work all together, use imagination, share their ideas, come an agreement and tell their story to the rest of the class. I hope you'll discover crazy stories and have fun!

Spot Differences - ORAL GAME

HI, Guys!!!,

As you well know, being fluent in a new language is one of the most difficult task. Because of that, I really like playing this game with the students, all of them get involved, take part, have fun and SPEAK ENGLISH!!! 

It's very simple: Find the Differences, just compare and contrast these two pictures!
You can use these expressions:

1. In Picture A or In Picture 1, I can see ...
2. In Picutre B or In Picutre 2, there is / there isn't ...
3. I can find ... in picture ... WHEREAS in picture ...

English Calendar PROJECT

English Calendar Project (my students are working on this)

Hi, There!!!,

These days, my students and I are working on an English Calendar, not only they can see the date, weather everyday, but also, they will learn a new English WORD, it's like a visual dictionary. I've divided them into eight groups, every group has their own month and they look up 20 words per month. Obviously, every month stands for a different topic and the students have to find the word, its phonetic symbols and a picture which helps them to understand its meaning. 

Thanks to this interesting project, my students are getting involved in the process of learning, they are working in a cooperative way, they can learn a new word easily everyday, and last, but not least, they are decorating the class!!! It's a wonderful and enriching experience! I hope you'll like it.

Learning English is always fun!!! ;)

The 2 euros T-SHIRT - A SoCiaL ExpeRiMeNT

Hi, There!, 

Have you ever watched this video? It just takes you 1 min and a half, it's really worthwhile and it makes you reflect on clothes bargains, are workers' salaries  fair? Sometimes, are employees underpaid? See what happens when people are offered to buy a buy a t-shirt for only 2 euros? Will they buy it? or instead, will they donate the money? It's impossible to be indifferent ;)
