I have made this for an EAL student at beginner level. I have used images from the 2009 movie (starring Jim Carrey). Hope it will be useful for some of you!

This is a ppt with basic information about the main candidates. The description comes first, then the names fly in, giving your students a chance to name the candidates. There are some tasks, including a true and false activity. Lots of images to promote discussion.

Who was Richard III? Where and how was he found? Where should he be reburied?

This is designed for EAL learners, but is useful as a prompt for debate in the mainstream classroom. The arguments and counter arguments are presented as exercises: match-up, replace the words and re-arrange the words. There is also a powerful image to describe - my thanks to Rich the vegansidekick for permission to use it. A full key is included.

Saltaire is a charming village in West Yorkshire. This is a little bit about Sir Titus Salt, who had it built and some exercises.

There are twelve slides, each with a quote or an inspirational list, then exercises. I have prepared this for advanced young EAL learners, but it will suit mainstream years 6 and 7.

A reading comprehension, with questions and language activities. Jack and Kelsey brave the journey only to find that the school is closed.

A passage about a boy making new year resolutions, with exercises. Can be used as a preliminary before students think up new year's resolutions for themselves. The template is by Baiba.

This is a grid with question openers and tasks going through Bloom's taxonomy. It avoids modals (would, could, should, might) and compound tenses and uses simple language structures that students at an early level of English language acquisition can access.

This is a resource for EAL students to practise the past tense. I laminate and cut them up. Thanks to eslprintables for the template.

This is a heart warming, short ghost story with exercises: a true/false, match-up activity and comprehension questions.

This is a sorting activity. Put the words into the right category. There are some proper nouns 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.

All about trees. Where do we find trees? What lives in trees? What can they do? An activity that you can do off the cuff.

Some short reading activities for Christmas. I've included a link to a Jacquie Lawson card, with the cat and dog story. However, it isn't quite as I remembered it! I use her cards a lot with my EAL students - they make lovely little mini stories.

A nice picture, with activities. Will suit beginners and early intermediates.

A gap fill exercise to practise the question words and a short reading passage with comprehension questions.

There are 25 statements, some true, some false. The students have to correct the false statements. Ask them to shade the true statements and there is a hidden letter N, so you can check if they got it right. Then, ask them to read out or discuss their corrections in pairs and this leads to whole class discussion.

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

Some facts are presented to promote discussion about McDonald's. Good for EAL students in Business Studies.
