Would any of these examples be good for your school?  Why not test them out!!

Do you have any other examples?

Today's theme- My special place

Watch the film and fill in the worksheets.

Then look at the clip:

What special places do the people refer to in the book?

Write down the answers....

And you?

Write and tell me about your special place?

(Don't have any? Then write about a special person!)

Just write some English!!!!

To finish off we'll do some grammar and vocabulary exercises

Welcome back after the Easter holidays

Well, we're finally back in the classroom.

There was no lesson last Monday since our 8th graders were on work experience and we had to cancel the lesson...

So today we will start off by talking about your Easter holidays- where you went and what you did...

Our 8th grade students can tell us a little bit about their work experience...

After that we are going to watch one of our videos and the theme today is:-

Dear Diary

Have you ever kept a diary? Remember the correct spelling.. Lots of people spell it "dairy"- That's the place where milk gets processed (mejeri)....

We'll start off by answering some questions based on the beginning of the film...

What advice would you give to Suzy or Fat Mike to get into shape?

Now we will see the rest of the film!
When we watch it the second time you can fill in the correct order for the photos... 

What excuses does Suzy give to NOT follow her exercise rota?

We will listen a third and final time...

Now complete the email she writes to her friend...

Do you have any good excuses you use for not doing things???

Now write  a short note to Suzy and tell her what you think she should do to get a bit fitter or maybe you think it's pretty vain "fåfängt" to do like she does... Mail your answers to me..

A bit of language work...
Here is an exercise to see if you know words which are easily misspelt...

Good luck!
