Sandra asked me to write something about gap filling exercises and tasks - I really like this kind of activity as there are so many things you can do with gap filing: revise vocabulary, sure, but also add elements of fun and creativity.

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!

Yesterday, when I was on my way to work, I was thinking about the lesson - a group of pre-int teenagers and grammar + vocabulary revision. Not necessarily exciting thing, admit it. Maybe I'll give them a funny warm up at least, I thought - and I decided to make them write a poem, which we had never done before.
