With the annual influx of Halloween-themed posts by my fellow bloggers I was like "meh, I don't even like Halloween, I guess I only wrote about it once" - so I looked through my own posts and realised my memory is somewhat problematic (it probably goes with my age, ah well...). Having brushed the dust off my old ideas I found six activities more or less connected to this pleasantly grim festivity you may enjoy with your students.

I don't usually share lesson plans, but I want to show how combining two various sources may help create something unusual and bring some wow effect to the classroom. Here I mixed environment and writing poems and it worked just great!

If I got a penny each time I hear I'll understand English culture when I go there for holidays I'd be the richest teacher ever. If I got a penny each time I bite my tongue and do not engage in a lengthy discussion every time I hear this phrase, I'd be surprisingly wealthy as well. Because it doesn't work this way, now, does it?

A friend shared this magnificent short animation on facebook and I immediately knew I had to, simply had to use it in the classroom - what's better than pink, fluffy and cuddly evil? Well, yeah, TWO pink fluffy cuddly evils, but I don't have a budget for this. Yet.

Writing can be one of the most tiresome endeavours of a student - can you recall your own papers, compositions, etc? I see no reason not to teach some writing techniques to my own students. I've realised that the sooner they get the basics, the better their writing compositions are.

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.

Scaredy Cat is a project by Heather Franzen and I must say I fell in love with it the moment I saw it - in fact I'm going to buy this tiny book because it's cute, adorable and I simply want to have it on my own :) Now - it's a lovely story and let me share its sweetness with you.
