Information Gap 1 - Looking for a Job
Get the students working in pairs.
Give one person of each pair the Student A page and the other the Student B page.
There are four different jobs being advertised in the local paper. However, there are ten gaps on each page.
Students should ask each other questions to find out the information that is missing from their page, then write it down, asking for spellings as necessary.
Encourage them to communicate verbally to get the answers, rather than letting each other look at their pages!
When all the students have finished, bring the group back together and ask checking questions to elicit the answers, as well as to find out how much the students have understood about the other material in the adverts.
Are you looking for some nice, eye catching motivational quotes to hang around your classroom and in the corridors to motivate children towards being more self confident and more successful? Perhaps you are looking for a simple set of pictures to use in an assembly? I have collected together some great quotes, which you could discuss with your class or the whole school.
You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different ideas being shown in each of photos.
You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching display about Motivational Quotes for the classroom..
The students could also take the laminated photos and sort them into types of quotes. The students can then discuss how they could use this idea in their own lives.
The photos could also be used as prompts for creative writing, factual writing or descriptive writing.
Remember 9/11 is a presentation showing the towers before, during and after the event. It captures some of the drama and will be an excellent focal point for any teacher wanting to talk about this event in a balanced way. It would also make an excellent backdrop for an assembly.
I have added a presentation showing you how to use photo flashcards for 31 different teaching activities in the classroom and also a set of writing prompts to encourage the children to describe the events more creatively.

Which would you rather? - A fun set of 100 child friendly either or questions for 3 to 8 year olds.
This is a child friendly set of questions which encourages them to make decisions and explain their answers to the rest of the class.
When I play this game, I set two corners of the room, one for each answer. The children get up and move to the best answer for them.
It could be used as a time filler, in Golden Time or during conversation.
You could print out the pictures and mix them up or use them as a PowerPoint presentation.
You simply print off this pennant at the beginning of the year as a Getting to know you activity. I like the idea of laminating them and placing them directly above the different groups of children. The children can quickly learn more about each other.
The students have a chance to set themselves a fun target to achieve in the year. At the end of the year the students can then look again at their targets and see if they have achieved their goals. This could also make a very homework task. Get them to build up their pennants using different materials from around the home.
I added a reflection sheet for times children are not quite as good as you would like.
Make target setting an interactive, hands on activity! This ideas is based on a simple 3D square based pyramid net. There is space on each side for students to write down their monthly English, Maths and Social targets. There is also a space for their name and something they learnt in the previous month.
I added the motivational quotes so students appreciate what they are learning towards. I added the positive behaviour system, where the students move around the track each time they achieve their pyramids targets! The harder they work, the faster they move around the track. Lots of fun for everyone!
I have created this worksheet in black and white so teachers can either print them on white paper or onto different coloured papers, the idea being to change the colour of the pyramid every month, so everyone knows which pyramid they should now be following.

25 Facts To Share And Discuss In The Classroom. There is a lot still to be done to achieve.
This presentation focuses on the key issues women around the world are facing. Students can compare and contrast their lives with these facts? How many are true for British women? How many would they consider were developing world problems. They can then investigate and find their own answers.
