Having Fun
I should be marking exams and then again preparing a new batch of them.Oh my Gosh It is that time of the year!!Instead I am playing with Classtools.net.
One of my students asked me to do some more practise on Reported Speech Questions and I thought this could be a nice way to revise this point of grammar.

Going to the Doctor!
This is a lesson I created about three years ago. As it often happens with my lesson plans I have written some of the exercises myself, while some others have been
taken here and there; in this case, some of the tasks link to a website ELLA, which I highly recommend not only because it is run by some of my colleagues from different EEOOII in Asturias but also because it is the best I have found so far that offers, for free, lesson plans where you can work all skills.
At the time of creating this lesson I wrote a post dedicated to my father that you can read here. He passed away a few years ago but I still miss him and think he was the best doctor ever and not just because he was my father and girls always think the best of their fathers but because, when treating his patients, he relied more on instinct and experience than on books and this is essential to a doctor.

Revising Relationship Verbs
I just couldn’t let it pass! It is not Valentine Day but my fourth year students are working with Relationship Verbs. Bad choice, on the publishers’ side, to ask students to learn expressions related to love when it is time for final exams and they need to concentrate on exams. Now’s the time to hunker down and hit the books! Mental note to email MacMillan about this issue!!!
So, not the right time to learn about love but , anyway,it gives me the chance to spice up my lessons using the WordCoud generator Tagul, which enables you to create beautiful shapes with your words.
The exercise…. , simple and to the point as I am a bit pressed for time. Students revise vocabulary by looking at the wordcloud and guessing the right expression.
