Halloween with a zombie apocalypse? Sure thing!

With Halloween approaching, a teacher has to come up with some entertaining ideas. I'm not a fan of classes dedicated directly to the occasion, I prefer running a normal lesson with a little twist. This year I've decided to go with something new - namely, the apocalypse.

Quick review: "Classroom Management Techniques" by Jim Scrivener
Being a teacher means you have to learn at least as much as you teach, so when my language school got a copy of "Classroom Management Techniques" by Jim Scrivener I had to borrow it for a while. It's easy to read and logically organised (I love properly organised handbooks) and, naturally, I've decided I might share some of my thoughts on the book.

Teaching insults or Shakespeare? Why not both?
Now we can make our students familiar with old Will and bring some fun to the classroom at the same time. I found this book in Glastonbury and loved it - so when I could get my own copy, naturally, I did.
Well, that's simply a generator of Shakespearean insults. With a dictionary (woohoo). It's funny, it's interesting, it's enriching one's vocabulary. Pure awesomeness!

THE book a teacher should have
It was a couple of years after I graduated when I took part in a contest by Macmillan and won a book. Any book from their offer, I remember it well. How wisely did I choose deciding on a book called 700 Classroom Activities by David Seymour and Maria Popova from Macmillan Books for Teachers series! It appeared to be the best book a teacher could get - at least, a teacher like me.
