A multiple choice quiz for students to complete. Then they make their resolutions for 2017.

A vignette about a silly woman, with questions, a T&F and 2 match-ups. It might make for a bit of light relief with adult students.

This is a ppt of 40 slides, exploring the reasons why there are so many words in English. It takes a brief look at the historical reasons, but concentrates on language awareness exercises. There are gap fill, true or false and rearrange the letters exercises, as well as picture description and comprehension questions. Finally, the students are invited to create some new words. This is intended for EAL, but most slides are suitable for native speakers.

Two short anecdotes with language activities: 1) Socrates and the triple filter test. 2) The rest of your life. These could be used in PHSCE or English.

I went on a course called 'Grammar for Writing.' The idea is that you teach the grammar, use the correct terms, but disguise the fact that you are teaching grammar. In this ppt, I aim to teach adverbs by asking the students to supply the opposite terms.

20 slides, each with one or 2 images. There are DARTs activities - for differentiation - with every slide and tasks based on ideas linked to the images. The images are from Clker.com, unless otherwise stated.

Lots of activities - match-ups, gap fills, true or false, picture descriptions. a wordsearch and a cryptogram. Sixteen slides, with lots of great clipart, bought from this site!

I made this for my Yr 7 Nurture group, for fun literacy starters. There are 27 slides, comprising 25 activities. No photocopying necessary - all activities can be done from the board. There is a variety of lexical activities: anagrams; match-ups; gap fills; error correction; find the hidden words; sentence formation; supply the adjectives and adverbs; replace the missing vowels and more. I have used a frame from fppt.com.
