Welcome your primary students back to the classroom with this great new lesson plan - Class tree display. Each pupil is given a worksheet with a leaf and an apple on it. Students write on the leaf and draw matching pictures on the fruit. The leaves and fruit are displayed on the classroom wall or noticeboard. Students try to match the pairs. Finally, each pupil gives a short presentation describing their leaf and fruit while students check their answers.

This activity - Choosing a school - is useful to practise and consolidate 'obligation and permission' modals: can, can't, have to, must, don't have to, mustn't. Predominantly a speaking activity to be done in pairs or small groups, there is a strong grammar focus which, although not essential to the final speaking activity, should be central to the lesson otherwise.

'Changes' is a speaking activity in which learners answer questions about their past, present and future, and identify how they change. They do this by answering five simple, but quite profound, questions in a questionnaire. It can be used as a diagnostic, especially for a 1-1 class, as practice, or as revision. It is suitable for pre-intermediate levels and above, as the target language is dictated by the learners.

Teaching English at primary school', Dr Janet Enever and Jayne Moon explore the trend towards an early start in English internationally, drawing upon substantial experience of working in the field and on research data. They then go on to highlight issues and raise questions about primary English language teaching policy and implementation. You can also read Janet and Jayne's accompanying paper here | Magazine

This blog post, 'Teachers as materials writers: some considerations', presents a few questions and answers that might help you to make your good materials even better.
