The students decide which comment refers to which character. You could develop this by asking them to back up their decisions/give examples.

For early learners or for a mixed ability EAL class. The beginners can count and practise 'There is a __&' &';There are __ s'. Also present continuous tense &'What is she doing?&';etc. More advanced students can write about it in the past simple 'The school trip&'. How did they get there? What did they do? etc. Also - good picture for Splat! and Hotseat activitiies. The picture is by Kait Eaton and copyrighted to Duck Egg Blue. I have permission to use it.

Eleven slides with maths activities related to 'Macbeth'. These are useful as starter or fun activities. I have varied the maths language; the maths activities are not difficult. The answers are provided and fly in.

A picture to describe, with exercises. The exercises are for EAL students, whlie the rest of the class get on and describe the picture. Key for the cloze and some ideas for using the picture on page 2. My apologies if these ideas are teaching granny how to suck eggs;-)

A compilation of fun, mainly kinaesthetic activities, which can be adapted to most subject areas and levels. Why 47? Why not!

This is a summary for mainstream teachers with guidelines to make sure that EAL students are included in the lesson.

This is a 12 slide power point, featuring ten famous refugees. Each slide comes with a short activity and some questions. It will suit year 7 and will serve as starter activities to accompany books about refugees, for example ‘Boy 87’. I have used Comic Sans and this font is not available for preview on here , surprisingly! It looks fine on download. I hope this will be useful.

This is an update version of my very successful previous ones. There are lots of activities to provoke thought and plenty of visuals to promote discussion. Images fly in to assist comprehension .

This is a desk-top mat for mainstream teachers with EAL students in the class. It's a short check list and then suggested activities for beginners through to advanced bilingual learners.

Fourteen slides with activities to get students thinking about New Year's resolutions. This is an updated version of one I uploaded in 2015.

There are two sets of 11 boxes with a short paragraph. In pairs, the students discuss which of each pair is the best paragraph and why. They can 'mix and match' and create their own version. Next, they match the 11 paragraphs up to the pictures and put them in sequence to tell the basic storyline. I have taken the box layout and pictures from the internet.

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.

Some pictures to compare and contrast, with questions to promote a discussion about whether to have school uniform and what it should look like.

A wonderful picture by the artist Trevor Mitchell, with various exercises on the present continuous tense. When I contacted the artist for permission to use his picture, I found that he lives just a few streets away from me!

A reading passage with true or false exercise and the students are asked to list all the words used instead of 'said.' If you use this worksheet you might like to do the E test with your class first. What it is is explained on the ws and there is a link to an article about it. (It's a personality test).

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.

Some activities around the language of probability.

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 series of pictures and comments about a boy's day to reinforce the present simple - what he normally/usually/sometimes does etc.. There is reading, sequencing, match up (sentences and pictures), true or false and a gap fill activity. Thanks to my colleague Sophia in Ukraine for the template. I&'ve done this for my EAL class, but it may suit younger pupils.

This is to get the students using higher level language and thinking skills. They have to use conditionals with compound tenses (would have done/might have done) etc to be able to debate/discuss different possible outcomes.
