Please give me feedback if you have time. These are PowerPoints and sheets I use in lessons and will need some adaption to your classes. Most lessons start with a 'Do now' that students do as they enter. I should mention that there are running jokes about my dislike of dogs (sorry!). See more at www.mrsimonporter.wikispaces.com
