Unit 21 Use this excellent site to talk about the subject of film. Lots of interesting little features, for example recommending films to match the mood you are in, it is also possible to see trailers of new and old films. Instead of talking about films you haven’t seen, encourage your students to research a film they would like to see, give a brief synopsis to the rest of the class and even show them a clip. The class could then vote for which film they would most like to see and why. Unit
22 Use these sites to prepare for a class discussion on the effect humans have had on the earth. Alternatively ask students to research different environmental problems and ask them to write about or discuss orally possible solutions Unit
23 Nice list of links with a good selection of poetry and classic scenes. Encourage students to browse the poems and choose one they like. Unit
24 Search for a star, actor, writer, singer they’re all there. Loads of interviews with famous people. Ask the class for names of actors/singers they like, then ask them to go to this site and search for information about that person. Most interviews include some direct quotes, get the students to write down some direct quotes and then ask them to report them as if writing for a newspaper. Unit
26 Choose a dish from your area make notes on the ingredients and method and give a summary to the class. Alternatively find the strangest food you can, again make notes on ingredients and method and tell the rest of the class. Unit
27 Lots of sites on the net where you could send virtual cards, many funny some serious, most free. If your class is studying in an English speaking country then ask them to send a virtual card to a friend, to a classmate or to you, (Make sure you get a copy.) asking them to write about an experience they had during their studies or during their last holidays. Unit
28 A long list of geography resources. Lots of possible activities. If your students all come from different countries get them to print out a blank map research the main industries and ask them to draw on the map where these industries are. Finally ask them to give a mini presentation. And/or get them to take the geography quiz. Unit
29 Think about ways to improve your school/classroom. Maybe there is a building in bad state of repair nearby, why not get your students to have a look and to make notes on the problem areas and how they could be improved. Tell them they have a limited budget so they need to think about what they can do themselves and what they need to have done. Use the sites above to get ideas for colours, styles… Unit
30 Use some or all of these sites to set up a discussion on cruel sports. Before the class make sure you have a good idea of what is available, then divide the class into pros and cons give them sites to search and ask them to come up with a list of arguments to support their cause. Do a search in any of the British newspapers and there are loads of articles about fox hunting, cruel sports etc |
