Please find the materials mentioned during our time together - below - for your download and use/review. Enjoy! Also, see this post about the BEST Websites for use in EFL writing.

Stories and Writing go hand in hand!

Here are a few picture handouts for teaching stories. Use the PPTS available here for a prewriting activity.


Use these funny stories. Read and then have students try to write the story in their own words to share with others.

Use these finish it cards as prompts. Students have to use them as a guide and finish the sentences in writing. After - share with the class!

Hi David,

Here is my lesson ideas on 'Regret' using 'Mr. Bean' video clip. Right now, I am trying to figure out how to upload files, tring to remember your instructions. Somehow, however, I feel like I am writing you an e-mail right now instead of posting my lesson ideas. If so, I would appreciate if you upload these files for me. Please be understanding, considering that I am dummy on hi-tech. Thanks!

Jihee,

This worked perfectly! Don't worry about "learning" - everyone has to learn this stuff, there is no "magic" to it! You did great! It is kind of like an email (will notify you ) but also, separate. So it is both an email and a post (others don't see the replies here unless I want them to!)

Thanks for sharing, it is a great lesson idea. See my own Mr. Bean ppts and video lessons HERE. (use the same ID/PW to get onto EFL Classroom).

Happy holidays, get lots of rest!

David
