Teaching kids

In this lesson students will be introduced to the popular song 'Over the mountains'. They will listen to the song, complete comprehension activities, practise transport vocabulary as well as the present continuous structure, and sing the song. They can also do some extension work based on the song, inventing a new verse, creating some display work and playing a game.

Teaching teens

One nation under CCTV is a complete set of teaching resources designed around an interesting and unusual photograph with activities to activate your students' higher level critical thinking skills. This pack looks at the topics of art and street art. The focus is on developing students' ability to speculate about an image, listen for specific information and summary writing skills. There are two levels of resources to choose from - higher level and lower level.
