A reading comprehension, with language exercises. This follows on from my reading comprehension 'Snow Day&'. This is differentiated - EAL students can put the verbs in the past simple, while more advanced students can tackle the discussion points.

A picture to describe, with exercises. The exercises are for EAL students, whlie the rest of the class get on and describe the picture. Key for the cloze and some ideas for using the picture on page 2. My apologies if these ideas are teaching granny how to suck eggs;-)

A compilation of fun, mainly kinaesthetic activities, which can be adapted to most subject areas and levels. Why 47? Why not!

A reading passage with exercises.The language focus is the past simple tense. I got the template from Baiba, a member of the greatest EAL site in the world: (erm, after this one, of course!) eslprintables

This is a summary for mainstream teachers with guidelines to make sure that EAL students are included in the lesson.

This is a handout with twenty-seven sentences. They have to choose the correct homophone from the brackets. A key is included.

This is a 20 slide powerpoint about Veganuary. There are match-ups, gap fills, true or false activities, correct the spellings, mini RCs, research tasks (design a menu for…) and hopefully, food for thought. I have designed this for advanced EAL learners, but it will make a good form time activity. My thanks to Veganuary and Rich of vegansidekick for permission to use their visuals.

This is a compilation of activities, strategies and methods of differentiation to include EAL students in mainstream English.

A simple worksheet on whether to use past or passed. I noticed lots of people getting this wrong.

Some pictures to compare and contrast, with questions to promote a discussion about whether to have school uniform and what it should look like.

This is a series of images of women in various roles. The students have to say which image matches each stanza in 'A Woman To Her Lover&' and they have to justify their decisions.

A series of worksheets: Words beginning with each letter of the alphabet. The clue is given and the students work out what the word is. I'll upload these as I complete them. To extend this, the students can choose any noun and mind map it with &'where do you see it? What is it made of? Draw it. Design a symbol for it etc... More to come!

Two pages - follow the instructions to colour the figures in/ write up the personal profiles/true or false/choose the correct word.
