Show and tell

After correcting the paragraphs, students read aloud each finding and talked about the experience.
Then we put everything together, coloured some print outs and designed THE CLASS DINOSAUR BOOK which looks like this:

Welcome to the blog!

In this blog you'll find some blog based activities I created for my EFL students some time ago. The topic I chose was DINOSAURS and I adapted them to fit this blog.
We were working on this topic and I thought it was a good idea to design some other type of activities so that students felt motivated to learn more and revised the vocabulary and grammar points we had been dealing with.
These activities were integrated into the curriculum and students took an active participation in them. Hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
