Past simple tense practice

Well, it is what it is. A ws to practise the past simple tense for EAL students. Useful as a homework sheet? All the verbs needed are in the blue column and they can be used more than once. Cut the column off for more advanced students.

Key visuals for 15 topic areas and brief instructions for the game. There are also some slides with spelling activities for EAL students. These visuals and topic areas are useful for all MFLs.

36 micro readings. On sheet one, they put the verb in the right place. On pages 2 and 3, they put the stem into the past simple and then put in the right place. After that, look, cover, write and check. You can just leave them with the picture prompts for this. For EAL students.

A short play: 'Reporting Live'

Does reporter Joe learn an important lesson, or does he just think about his own ambitions? There are 10 parts (this could be adapted). I've written this for my EAL students to practise the past simple tense, but it's not exclusively an EAL resource.
After the holiday quiz.

After the holiday quiz.

(1)
This is a questionnaire for the students to do in pairs. There is a match-up exercise on page 2. I have prepared it for my EAL students, but it could be used as an ice breaker after the holiday. Or they could answer the questions as a written exercise.

Some memory exercises for pair work, a match-up activity and an exercise on personality adjectives. This powerpoint will hopefully be motivational at the start of the new year!
A Christmas Story

A Christmas Story

(1)
I dictate this story. Give the pupils some plain paper. Draw some lines to make a room. Add a window. Add snowflakes - it's snowing outside. Add a table, a sofa, a cooker, a TV and then, an old lady. Is she rich or poor? How do you know? Her husband died 10 years ago. She has no children. She has no brothers and sisters. The date is December 25th... Why is it special? The old lady turns around. There is a cat on her window sill (Draw it). It is skinny. Do you think she will let it in? Why? Why not? She opens the window and lets it in. It rubs her leg. (Draw the cat by her leg). She shares her turkey... Keep asking questions... Then, I do a hotseat. The pupils prepare the questions. Put the old lady in the hotseat. 'Are you married?' 'Have you got any children? 'What did you see on the window sill?' Higher level questions; 'How did you feel when you saw that cat?' And so on.

Some short reading activities for Christmas. I've included a link to a Jacquie Lawson card, with the cat and dog story. However, it isn't quite as I remembered it! I use her cards a lot with my EAL students - they make lovely little mini stories.

Match up the word and the Christmas item. Use the pictures on screen for a 'Splat' game. Ask them to draw their own diagrams to the words.... I have made this for my EAL pupils. Bought the clipart from here - best 2 quid I ever spent!

Boxing WJEC

Here are some slides to complement the extract and exercises on boxing in the WJEC GCSE English and English Language Higher Level course book, pages 62, 63 and 64. There are anagrams of keywords to do with boxing, true and false on the passage on Spencer Oliver (p.62) match up the opposite words, the pros and cons of boxing and a look at keywords. Some of my group have got EAL and need this kind of differentiation.

A vignette about a silly woman, with questions, a T&F and 2 match-ups. It might make for a bit of light relief with adult students.

Witches for Halloween!

Six witches, each with an exercise. After completing the exercises, they can cut them up, jumble them, then match the right passage to the picture before sticking in their books. Just a bit of fun!
The E test
andorianandorian

The E test

(0)
A reading passage with true or false exercise and the students are asked to list all the words used instead of 'said.' If you use this worksheet you might like to do the E test with your class first. What it is is explained on the ws and there is a link to an article about it. (It's a personality test).

This is a great nostalgic picture, with exercises to reinforce the present continuous and past simple tenses for EAL students. I play 'Splat!' and memory games with this kind of thing. I was kindly given permission to use the picture.

Describing a picture

A picture to describe, with exercises. The exercises are for EAL students, whlie the rest of the class get on and describe the picture. Key for the cloze and some ideas for using the picture on page 2. My apologies if these ideas are teaching granny how to suck eggs;-)
