This was originally taught to Korean Middle School EFL students for a fun art and craft/cooking camp however it is written entirely in English. The aim of this summer camp is for the students to have fun and to learn about different countries and cultures around the world. Each day will focus on a different country and we will learn some facts, look at famous places, food and do an art and craft activity associated with the country. At the start of each day students will guess the country. When I reveal the flag they must copy it onto their ‘passport’ sheet. If students behave well or win a task they receive a sticker on their passport. The student with the most stickers at the end of the camp will win a prize. Day 1: Introduce the summer camp and different monuments and buildings around the world. Today focuses on lots of games and team building activities so that everyone gets to know each other.  Activity 1: Icebreaker Students are given a ‘passport worksheet where they write their name, age, favorite food, favorite place in Korea and three places they would like to visit in the future. They should complete this quite quickly 5-10 minutes. When everyone has finished I pass the ball and when they catch it the student must say something about themselves and introduce themselves to the rest of the class.  Team game (1): Guess where it is from Students look at the famous buildings/monuments from around the world. In teams they must guess which country they think it is from. The team with the most correct will win travel stickers in their passport.  Team game (2): Build a tower In teams students have 30minutes to build a monument/tower using only dried spaghetti, peppero sticks and marshmallows. They have to work together as a team and at the end they can win points based on how tall, how wide and how unique their building is. The winning team gains stickers for their passport.  Lunch Students are given cooked sausage, cucumbers, crackers and cube cheese. Individually on their plate they have to cut slices and try to build the tallest tower. The person with the tallest ‘tower’ wins a sticker for their passport. They can then eat these and the snacks from earlier for lunch.  Team game (3): Jenga race In teams students take it in turns to race forwards and take a block out of the jenga tower. They must then run back to their team and try to build another structure. The team with the tallest structure at the end (whose original building hasn’t fallen over!) are the winners and gain stickers for their passports.  Art and Crafts Using clay, students must make a small keyring or magnet in the shape of a famous building or monument from the lesson. Seoul Tower, Eiffel Tower, Pyramid, Big Ben etc.

A whole lesson on the poetic form of a sestina. Students are introduced to the structure before looking at two examples by Elisabeth Bishop and Anthony Hect. Finally, there is a planning worksheet so that students can write their own sesitna poem with the correct structure.

A powerpoint and worksheets I created for my TEFL students introducing British food. Outline: 1-7: Discussion questions about food. E.g ‘What is your favourite snack?’ 8-9: Brief overview of British food and pubs. 10-19: Quiz about British foods with ABC multiple choice options. E.g ‘What do we pour on a Roast?’ A. Gravy B. Groovy C. Greasy 20-24: Guess the foods Game. Using the worksheet, students tick the foods that they believe are from the UK. 25-27: Bingo Game Using the Bingo worksheets provided, students choose 9 British foods and write them in the squares (I have also included 18 pre-filled sheets for convenience). On slide 27, ask students to choose a letter and click the letter tab at the side. It will reveal a food and if students wrote it down they cross out the square on their sheet. The first student to complete all their squares wins. 28-33 Crossword and wordsearches (with answers) Using the worksheet, students look at the example pub menu. The missing words correspond with the crossword answers. ** 34-43** Role play activity and key phrases Students design their own three course menu (sheet provided) and then take it in turns to practice the role play situations. ** 44-48** Amendable worksheets

Four creative writing lessons and planning worksheets on the theme of ‘Adventure’. Suitable for KS2 and KS3 students. I used these series of lessons to help students prepare for an extended piece of imaginative writing. Each lesson follows the same format: Show an image and ask students to jot down their initial impressions and what they can see. Pair and Share their ideas. 2 Individually, students choose a number between 1-10. Each number corresponds to a character they must write as. 3 Then students choose a second number between 1-5. Each number corresponds to what they must write about. 4 Students are given a planning sheet and must spend time deciding key components of their writing- plot/character/setting 5 For the rest of the lesson (or as a homework task) they must complete an extended piece of adventure writing. 6 Peer assessment- students swap and read another piece of work. They must comment on the things that went well and the specific marking criteria.

Includes: A ppt with guided questions for students to develop their own interpretations about the opening of the play/characters. A worksheet where students plan how they would stage the scene.

New updated powerpoint and worksheets 06/11/18 Overview: Three different activities/worksheets designed for a low ability group studying A Christmas Carol. The tasks help consolidate knowledge of the plot and approach complex language in Stave one. I have also included the powerpoint and instructions. I used these for cover lessons which worked nicely. Activity 1: cut and stick images and summaries from the plot in the correct order. Activity 2: Answer 24 (one-word answer) questions about Stave 1 using own knowledge and skimming and scanning the text (could be done in pairs) then find the answers from this section in the following wordsearch. Activity 3: Decoding the nineteenth century language. Read the quotation from the text and write the correct synonym and definition in the box (creates a glossary resource of difficult words that they can return to).

Four detailed lessons with clearly explained tasks, starters and plenaries. Each lesson includes guiding questions,a corresponding worksheet and multiple activities for students to complete. The final ppt introduces the assessment task, objectives and an example of how to select and analyse quotations. The assessment question focuses on Lady Macbeth and her descent into madness. There is also a homework choice slide that includes extension creative writing tasks for students to choose from. Lesson 1 in the series was observed and rated outstanding If you found this resource helpful please do leave a review :) or browse my shop for other lessons and resources.

Introduce the grammar and phrases that use ‘have’ and ‘has’. Students practice using the phrases through a guessing game. They look at the close up of the object and must race to say the target phrase " Have you got a pen?", “Have you eaten a kiwi fruit?” etc. Show example phrases (gap fill activity) and students need to apply their knowledge and say whether it should be ‘have’ or ‘has’. Card game- Players ask each other set questions on their question sheets. For example “Have you been to Scotland?” and they choose someone to address the question to. If the player has the matching card they must answer “Yes I have” and the first player can tick it off their sheet. If they don’t have the card they respond “No I haven’t.” and the player’s turn is over. Full instructions for the card game are included in the ppt- the task requires some cutting preparation but with a guillotine it will not take too long at all. There are 96 colourful cards in total and I found that groups of 4-6 players worked best. I have included the lesson powerpoint, a PDF printable version of the game cards and also the powerpoint with the card templates so that you can ammend and change the playing cards to suit your needs.
