Especially good for teaching any kind of English lesson. Includes a range of starters and plenaries suitable for many different subjects. Nicely formatted. Don’t waste time making your slide from scratch.

Save yourself hours writing the same comments again and again and get students to do it. Includes a ready-made example for creative writing but can easily be adapted for anything.

Important - I created this in Google Slides originally so you need to “Save as Google Slides” for the hyper-links to work. I’m sure though if you have a little IT know-how you can get it working for Powerpoint. Easy to set up plenary. Students select an envelope and get a mystery question. I have put generic questions for each one but you can write whatever you want.
