Some time ago I decided to join Twinkl group for bloggers who test this platform and share their ideas. In case you don't know what Twinkl is - it's a mine full of jewels like lesson plans, resources, interactive activities, presentations, posters and loads of ideas for teachers, parents and caretakers. Oh, and homeschoolers.

Can we keep our students focused in the classroom?

It's quite easy for me to understand my students being somewhat slow and sloppy, so here are some tricks I use to keep them focused in the classroom because hey, spring or no spring, the Passive must be reviewed.

English for _very_ special purposes

English for the Alien Invasion is written by the same team who committed English for the Zombie Apocalypse. This time the threat is from the outer space, cunning and intelligent. Beware, it's not for the light-hearted!

I didn't do my homework... - project idea (not only for young learners!)

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 :)

Today I want to share a tiny little project I'm planning to use once my students feel bored and will need a spark of creativity - Storybird.

Back to basics - dictionaries in the classroom

New year, new me, and being always ready for some technology I've decided to go vintage with the old-fashioned dictionaries. How often do you use ordinary dictionaries in your classroom? Maybe, like yours truly, you are so much into technology you happen to ignore those old-fashioned tomes? Or maybe the memories of "building up your vocabulary" for Use of English exam during uni times are so traumatic you don't even want to introduce this torture to your students?

Commercial Christmas or Christmas commercials?

It's not easy to come up with Christmas-themed lessons, especially when you teach the same bunch of students yet another year and they've already had enough of Christmas at school (be it their own or their children's). This year, I accidentally went for a pretty nice Christmas theme inspired by commercials and a fellow teacher's blog post.

How do we learn (and how can we use Padlet in the classroom)?

I don't even remember how I came across Padlet, but since one of my vices is being overly organised (I've realised I'm overly organised when I noticed how many people laugh at me or stare in disbelief once they see me do admin work), that was love at first sight – and obviously, as a properly infatuated teacher, I've decided to share my ideas on making Padlet an awesome tool in teaching both inside and outside the classroom.

With new courses approaching it may be nice to launch a long-term project with a pinch of technology, two cups of English and three tablespoons of fun.

With new students joining our courses it is a very nice idea to make them feel welcomed and engaged in the school life.
