This a good lesson plan for a topic on "Introduction" in the beginning of school year. Students are going to ask questions to know more about someone, answer questions to introduce themselves and write and speak about personal information of their friends. In this lesson, students use Yes/No questions. They will be challenged to ask, for every question answerable by YES corresponds a point for them. This lesson is fun.

This GTKY questionnaire is suitable for both ESOL and EFL learners at A2 (Pre-Intermediate) to B1 (Intermediate) Levels. There is a clear, staged lesson plan, which supports learners to formulate questions prior to an information sharing communication task. There are also accompanying PPT slides to facilitate students’ understanding of instructions and to provide suggestions for differentiation. The activity practises the formation of questions in simple present and past tenses, and should take around 60 minutes of classroom time. All ready to go, including a lesson plan, which you are free of course to adapt if necessary.

As an ICT teacher I needed a 'getting to know you&' first lesson with my classes. I used this with years 5, 6 and 7. Here is the instruction page and the blank template. I wanted to use this to observe pupils&'; skills. I plan to use it with younger groups this year, but will read out their options..

This PowerPoint is a series of 2 lessons that helps students write a formal letter to their new English teacher. Lesson 1 - Discussing the difference between formal and informal writing, planning the letter using a mindmap (helpsheet with prompt questions on to support this) Lesson 2 - Writing the letter. I use this lesson with new Year 7 classes, although it could easily be adapted for any new class you teach.
