Get ready to make some tough choices (in English!) this week! Using fun “Would you rather…?” questions, we’ll practice expressing our opinions, giving reasons, and maybe even predicting our friends’ answers.

Ready for a creative challenge? This week, we’ll tackle a desert island dilemma! Practice collaborating, problem-solving, and narrating events using key vocabulary like “resourceful” and “devise”. Let’s invent survival stories together and boost our speaking skills!

Welcome back to English class! Join us this Friday, April 17th, as we reconnect after the break. We’ll share simple stories about our recent experiences and look forward to what’s coming up this season. A perfect, relaxed start to our new term together!

This activity uses a story to promote discussion and problem-solving skills. Students are put into small groups and given one paragraph of a story at a time. After reading each paragraph, the groups will discuss possible solutions or advice for the character in the story.

We’ll be using story dice again, but instead of using Dan Harmon’s Story Circle, we’ll be using a simplified version of “Nelson’s 9 Steps for Story Writing” to wrote short stories about travel adventures.

In this classroom activity, students become time travelers with big ideas! Each group prepares a short presentation about their plan to change history for the betterment of many people. They have to share their pitch with “scouts” from a company that invented a time machine that can only be used once. They have to convince the scouts their idea for using the time machine is the best one. The scouts will listen carefully and ask questions.

This 90 minute advanced conversation lesson plan centers around a creative storytelling activity using pairs of mysterious images. Students work in groups to craft interconnected narratives about intriguing objects – a vintage jade ring and mysterious letters. Through a progressive three-stage process, pairs combine their stories into larger groups, ultimately creating a single class narrative.

In this activity, you will practice having conversations in English about topics you know well. This will help you improve your speaking skills and learn new vocabulary from your classmates.

Stanford University Professor BJ Fogg says that to change what we do, we need three things: motivation, ability, and a prompt.
