Let's plan our learning (no-prep lesson plan)
I want to deliver a short lesson plan that will help your students understand the idea of planners, and maybe even create their own study planners.

7 no-prep course-ending lessons
With the current admin work (reports, grades etc.) it’s quite difficult to come up with a lesson that would be easy to teach, funny and engaging. I absolutely understand this predicament, so I browsed through my blog and found 7 lesson plans you can easily adapt to your classroom – both online and offline. You can find something for all age groups and levels.

I’m a superhero: no-prep lesson plan
I love superheroes – who doesn’t? I also love lesson plans that need no preparation. And today I want to share a simple lesson plan that is easy to adapt for both online and offline classes, for kids, teens and adults... because, after all, we all want to be superheroes!
Or supervillains, but that would be me.

Today I want to share three very easy ideas you can use in your classroom. You will only need a set of dice, something to write on (and with) and a bunch of students who want to have fun. The great thing is, those activities are perfect for all students of EFL, regardless of their linguistic proficiency.

Instant ideas for awesome classes
It's my birthday note - the first one, as I haven't yet celebrated my own birthday on the blog. I want to thank you all for encouragement and support, for visiting my page and following me on Facebook - you're awesome! - and, especially for my new readers I want to share a list of my most popular blog entries - they're full of ideas you may adjust to various groups of students, so I believe you'll find them useful.

7 ideas that might be used for Halloween (or any other spooky lesson)
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.

Spring poems - lesson plan
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!

Cultural awareness in the classroom
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?

The Colors of Evil - shortie but goodie :)
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.

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.
