It was in a small bookshop in Manchester where I noticed a book which immediately caught my eye: I Didn't Do My Homework Because by Davide Cali and illustrated by Benjamin Chaud. The book is basically a list of perfectly illustrated, funny, weird, amazingly impossible excuses a student could use... but they usually don't. Unless I, as a teacher, make them to :)

And so, we're here at the end of the school year, our courses are ending, we're moving on, time to say goodbye and so on and so forth. We're handing out the certificates and then we have to do something to kill the time.

Lisa has asked me for some recommendations regarding useful sites for EFL teachers and I'm happy to make a little compilation of the places I visit most often to find ideas, inspirations, betimes lesson plans if I feel exceptionally lazy, and share them with you.
