This is an ESL adult holiday conversation lesson. It includes a PowerPoint with worksheets and teacher’s notes. ESL students often run into difficulties during the holiday season. You either feel left out, by not participating in the festivities (and maybe missing your own holidays) or confused by trying to (or being “forced” to) take part in strange and unfamiliar rituals. Studies show that sharing your holiday with someone is an intimate act of trust and friendship – and taking part in the celebration of someone else's holiday, is an act of respect that can lead to better understanding and collaboration. Holidays are important, they give us a sense of time passing, relief from everyday reality, and some special moments with friends and family. Many people who live or work in a foreign country know the odd feeling of being (or not being) part of a holiday that isn’t yours. Inviting other people to take part in your celebrations or being invited by others to celebrate with them can be either a wonderful experience or a recipe for disaster for both parties. This lesson discusses the experience of celebrating other people’s holidays and how to include others in your own holidays. *This lesson also exists in google slides format, to be used in a video chat while screen sharing for distance learning. This download is appropriate for high school students in Life skills classes, young students of ESL, and adult ESL cultural, business, and conversational classes. The lesson includes: ♚ The difference between a religious holiday, a national holiday, and a secular holiday. ♚ Celebrating your own holidays in a foreign place. ♚ What might stop you from celebrating a holiday that isn’t yours? ♚ Celebrating other people’s holidays. ♚ Is it easier or more difficult to celebrate other people’s holidays? ♚ Could holiday celebrations evolve to include people from other cultures? ♚ Should children at school be taught and celebrate other holidays? ♚ Holiday greetings conflict. ♚ workplace “holiday dilemma” I hope you and your students enjoy this lesson! I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a wonderful and safe holiday season. May your holidays be merry and bright, no matter your culture or religion ♥.

For more than 25 years I’ve been teaching ESL adult classes and cross-culture business classes, and much like other challenged individuals who go through life with one hand tied behind their backs, I try to make up for what I lack in the spelling department with hours of research, high-quality graphics, humor, passion and love for what I do.

This presentation contains a 34 slide, power point presentation with a handout and teacher’s notes. The term Politically correct has entered into a common usage in the United States in the 1990s, after it was the subject of a series of articles in The New York Times, since then it has been the object of endless discussions. As a conversation subject, it provides a fantastic range of sub-topics, of which the holiday angle is exceptionally interesting. This lesson discusses the pitfalls of political correctness and its influence on holiday tradition and holiday cheer. ⇛ This lesson includes: ♚· What is “Politically correct”? ♚· Why should we make an effort to be politically correct on holidays ♚How do holiday traditions offend some people? ♚· Extreme political correctness ♚· What is the risk in being too politically correct? ♚· By what criteria do we measure the need to be politically correct? ♚· Holiday songs that are in the center of PC controversy. ♚· A PC holiday greeting This lesson was created as a conversation lesson with adult ESL students in mind but could be used with high school social and philosophy programs.

(Another) New year’s resolutions - ESL adult and kid conversation This presentation contains a 24 slide PowerPoint lesson in editable PPT format with 4 work papers and teachers’ answers. This lesson includes: · new year’s resolutions: what they are, · statistics from the US and the UK about new year’s resolutions that people make · why do resolutions fail · how to make them work · 4 work sheets and teachers’ answers. · an exercise including 37 New year idioms to decipher 2. New year's traditions - ESL adult conversation power-point This presentation contains a 41 slide PowerPoint lesson in editable PPT format with a 2 work papers and teacher's notes This lesson includes: · The ‘new year song that no one knows the words to’ “Auld Lang Syne” – lyrics and video · A discussion about new year wishes – how are they different according to the recipient, what are this year’s particular wishes, what are some wishes we are fed up with, what are original new year wishes. · A quiz with facts about the new year · new year's traditional new year dishes from around the world · 2 work sheets and teacher’s notes 3. Resolutions - ESL adult and kid conversation lesson This is a 41 -slide power point conversation presentation in editable PPT format. This lesson includes: · In this lesson, we try to explore a different path for the New year’s resolutions. · Why do most of us make such similar resolutions? · Why do we keep making the same ones again and again? · How can we break this pattern? This lesson suggests 8 possible unique resolutions (based on the article “9 creative New Year’s resolutions” by Julia Fawal + Nadia Petschek Rawls (https://ideas.ted.com/9-creative-new-years-resolutions/ ) . These resolutions are different to the usual ones because they’re using three techniques: 1.Making resolutions that will allow us to change our view of the world, so we can grow and develop a better and more complete understanding on it. 2.exploring what happens if we move the goal away from ourselves, towards the wellbeing of the “other”. 3.Shifting the goal by from the center of the axis (ourselves), slightly to the side, to allow a better performance and secure a better chance of accomplishing 2 goals at the same time. This lesson will not only benefit ESL students, but also English-speaking teenagers who could be making a difference this year by helping others and the world around them. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Resolutions - ESL adult and kid conversation lesson This is a 41 -slide power point conversation presentation in editable PPT format. This lesson includes: · In this lesson, we try to explore a different path for the New year’s resolutions. · Why do most of us make such similar resolutions? · Why do we keep making the same ones again and again? · How can we break this pattern? This lesson suggests 8 possible unique resolutions (based on the article “9 creative New Year’s resolutions” by Julia Fawal + Nadia Petschek Rawls (https://ideas.ted.com/9-creative-new-years-resolutions/ ) . These resolutions are different to the usual ones because they’re using three techniques: 1.Making resolutions that will allow us to change our view of the world, so we can grow and develop a better and more complete understanding on it. 2.exploring what happens if we move the goal away from ourselves, towards the wellbeing of the “other”. 3.Shifting the goal by from the center of the axis (ourselves), slightly to the side, to allow a better performance and secure a better chance of accomplishing 2 goals at the same time. This lesson will not only benefit ESL students, but also English-speaking teenagers who could be making a difference this year by helping others and the world around them. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

This presentation contains a 29 slide PowerPoint lesson in editable PPT format with a worksheet and teacher’s notes. The weekend is here, and everyone breathes a sigh of relief, but are we really taking full advantage of this time-out to relax properly and switch off? Research shows that due to a mix of individual ambitions, bad organizational skills and technology which makes work accessible 24 hours a day, a growing number of adults are not capable of leaving their work stress behind and consequently return back to work after the weekend stressed and not rested. Another growing group (a third of UK workers – according to a recent study), fail to enjoy their weekend because of ‘'Weekendvy” – the need to exaggerate or even lie about their weekend plans to impress colleagues. ‘The weekend’ is a fun and light adult conversation topic which will get a lot of voluntary participation in your classroom.. This lesson contains: ♚ Grammar worksheets - weekend vocabulary and related expressions. ♚ Adjectives ending with ed and with ing relating to the weekend. ♚ Who created the weekend? ♚ What is the ideal weekend? ♚ Weekend food traditions. ♚ What is 'Weekendvy”? ♚ What is “The Saturday syndrome”? ♚ What is “Weekend effect”? ♚What does Your weekends happiness depend on? I loved making and teaching this lesson, I hope that you and your students enjoy it too.

This is a 21 slide ESL adult powerpoint conversation lesson with teacher’s notes in editable PPT format. 2/3 of Americans fear and loath Math and researchers believe that about 20% of the general population suffers from Math anxiety. These statistics are a serious problem because Math phobia doesn’t end with high school. We know that “Math phobia” causes students to choose disciplines that don’t involve any more math studies and career choices that don’t involve logical reasoning. That’s a real problem seeing as 15 of the most lucrative professions all have Math in common. Math phobia is an interesting ESL discussion topic because any given class will provide you at least one live (sweating) example of a “mathophobic”. This lesson discusses the reasons for this particular phobia, brings up the different problems with current Math studying methods and suggests ways to solve the problem, based on recent studies and experimental Math programs. In this lesson: ♚ What is “Math phobia” and Why don’t we hear about “phobias” of any other school material? ♚ What causes “math phobia”? ♚ The huge damage of Math phobia. ♚ What’s the harm in Math anxiety and how is it contagious? ♚ Who is better at Math girls or boys? ♚ Why do we value speed in math? ♚ What is a fixed VS growth mindset? ♚ Can we do without math at school? ♚ How should math be taught? I hope you and your students enjoy this lesson and I hope it creates a stimulating and lively conversation in your classroom.

This is a 37 slide ESL adult powerpoint conversation lesson with teacher’s notes and a worksheet in editable PPT format. This lesson was created for advanced and intermediate adult ESL conversation classes. *Please note that this lesson should be considered for groups that you know well and that won’t be offended by the content of this lesson! Cheating is a huge topic, it took me a long time to sift through many scientific studies, contradicting material and provocative statements. I finally managed to narrow it down to, what I think is, the most interesting and informative material. The definition of cheating keeps expending as society and technology is evolving, Studies show that there is no longer a large gap between gender cheating and Statistics of current levels of infidelity and divorce are steadily rising. Maybe traditional relationships need a makeover? Could consensual non-monogamy be the future? This lesson is designed to create a lively and informed discussion on a very controversial topic. I’ve supplied you with the studies and latest statistics to help you stir the pot and enjoy an hour of interesting debate. (please choose your class carefully, this is not a lesson for everyone!) In this lesson: ♚ Who cheats more, men or women? ♚ Who cheats more, younger or older people? ♚ Infidelity Statistics ♚ What are the problems with collecting data about infidelity? ♚ Why do women/men cheat? ♚ what qualifies as “cheating”? ♚ Would you know if your partner was cheating on you? ♚ Who are the people your partner is most likely to cheat with? ♚ In which careers, do you think people are more likely to be unfaithful? ♚ Who is to blame more, the cheater or the person that they are cheating with? ♚ what are “Emotional affairs”?

This is a 37 slide ESL adult powerpoint conversation lesson with teacher’s notes and a worksheet in editable PPT format. This lesson was created for advanced and intermediate adult ESL conversation classes. *Please note that this lesson should be considered for groups that you know well and that won’t be offended by the content of this lesson! Cheating is a huge topic, it took me a long time to sift through many scientific studies, contradicting material and provocative statements. I finally managed to narrow it down to, what I think is, the most interesting and informative material. The definition of cheating keeps expending as society and technology is evolving, Studies show that there is no longer a large gap between gender cheating and Statistics of current levels of infidelity and divorce are steadily rising. Maybe traditional relationships need a makeover? Could consensual non-monogamy be the future? This lesson is designed to create a lively and informed discussion on a very controversial topic. I’ve supplied you with the studies and latest statistics to help you stir the pot and enjoy an hour of interesting debate. (please choose your class carefully, this is not a lesson for everyone!) In this lesson: ♚ Who cheats more, men or women? ♚ Who cheats more, younger or older people? ♚ Infidelity Statistics ♚ What are the problems with collecting data about infidelity? ♚ Why do women/men cheat? ♚ what qualifies as “cheating”? ♚ Would you know if your partner was cheating on you? ♚ Who are the people your partner is most likely to cheat with? ♚ In which careers, do you think people are more likely to be unfaithful? ♚ Who is to blame more, the cheater or the person that they are cheating with? ♚ what are “Emotional affairs”? I hope you and your students enjoy this lesson and I hope it creates a stimulating and lively conversation in your classroom.

This is an ESL adult holiday conversation lesson. It includes a PowerPoint with worksheets and teacher’s notes. ESL students often run into difficulties during the holiday season. You either feel left out, by not participating in the festivities (and maybe missing your own holidays) or confused by trying to (or being “forced” to) take part in strange and unfamiliar rituals. Studies show that sharing your holiday with someone is an intimate act of trust and friendship – and taking part in the celebration of someone else's holiday, is an act of respect that can lead to better understanding and collaboration. Holidays are important, they give us a sense of time passing, relief from everyday reality, and some special moments with friends and family. Many people who live or work in a foreign country know the odd feeling of being (or not being) part of a holiday that isn’t yours. Inviting other people to take part in your celebrations or being invited by others to celebrate with them can be either a wonderful experience or a recipe for disaster for both parties. This lesson discusses the experience of celebrating other people’s holidays and how to include others in your own holidays. *This lesson also exists in google slides format, to be used in a video chat while screen sharing for distance learning. This download is appropriate for high school students in Life skills classes, young students of ESL, and adult ESL cultural, business, and conversational classes. The lesson includes: ♚ The difference between a religious holiday, a national holiday, and a secular holiday. ♚ Celebrating your own holidays in a foreign place. ♚ What might stop you from celebrating a holiday that isn’t yours? ♚ Celebrating other people’s holidays. ♚ Is it easier or more difficult to celebrate other people’s holidays? ♚ Could holiday celebrations evolve to include people from other cultures? ♚ Should children at school be taught and celebrate other holidays? ♚ Holiday greetings conflict. ♚ workplace “holiday dilemma” I hope you and your students enjoy this lesson! I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a wonderful and safe holiday season. May your holidays be merry and bright, no matter your culture or religion ♥.

This presentation contains a 41 slide PowerPoint lesson in editable PPT format with teacher’s notes. The holidays are a hectic time of year –family gatherings, work functions, huge meals, gift exchanges, holiday parties, and potlucks – the environmental toll of the holiday madness is staggering and so is the social conflict of traditions vs progress. In our remarkably fast paced and changing world, holiday traditions may offer an important organizing and centering experience to a life full of constant change but Living in a multicultural world means that your cherished traditions may differ and even contradict the ones of those around you. Where some find comfort in the repetitive, predictable nature of traditions, others experience them as a stressful and sad reminder that they don’t belong. Mixing traditions and creating new ones is appearing to be more and more common as the world becomes more globalized and it seems the millennial generation is (once again) leading this change. This lesson includes: · Why are traditions important? · Tradition VS modern health trends · Tradition and social change · Tradition and social media · Tradition VS modern day stress · Tradition VS the environment I hope you enjoy this lesson Please let me know how this lesson worked out for you.

I’m painfully aware of what seems to be very poor judgment of career choice on my part, and to be honest, a large part of this choice was to stick it to Mrs. Jacobson that said that there’s no place for the likes of me with my “pretend excuses” for misspelling every third word, in any self-respecting educational institution, so naturally I had to become a teacher. For more than 25 years I’ve been teaching ESL adult classes and cross culture business classes, and much like other challenged individuals who go through life with one hand tied behind their backs, I try to make up for what I lack in the spelling department with hours of research, high quality graphics, humour, passion and love for what I do. The fact that I can actually do this job is first and foremost a testimony of open mindedness (or desperation brought on by the long economic recession) of the schools that hired me over the years despite my very evident drawback, by the parents that tolerated grammar mishaps and most of all by my beautiful students who have learned to “always double check their teacher” and have come up with the sweetest, most heart-warming and diplomatic ways of pointing out my spelling errors (putting to great use their newly acquired conditional capacity: “I’m not sure, but, I think I might have spotted…”) Over the years, I've personally contributed to the economic success of countless computer ‘correcting program’ available on the market (you're welcome Grammarly) and on top of that my lessons are proof read by wonderful, kind (and slightly horrified) TPT teachers, BUT there are always some errors that slip by us (mostly because I keep messing with the lessons after they've been proofread). If you feel offended by the existence of spelling errors in what is supposed to be a teaching tool or if you, much like Mrs. Jacobson, think the dyslexia is just an excuse not to try harder THEN THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FOR YOU! For all you tree hugging, open-minded individuals, who are looking for challenging, original material for your conversation classes and can see beyond the possible grammar errors (maybe even use it as a teaching opportunity “An extra point for the first student who can spot the obvious grammar error that I always tell you never to make”. Plus, you know that wonderful, warm, superior feeling you get when you catch a colleague’s error - well these moments are included with the product – no extra charge) THIS PRODUCT IS DEFINITELY FOR YOU!

This is a two-hour ESL adult conversation lesson. The unit is divided into two PowerPoint lessons (with an activity worksheet). In these strange times, with smart working and lockdowns, we let strangers into our houses daily through the computer screen, using zoom and facetime. It’s interesting to see what parts of our homes we choose to show others, and what do other people conclude about us based on these choices. In the first part – we discuss the way our houses reflect our cultures and how others perceive the culturally-based oddities in our homes. In the second part – we discuss what parts of our houses we choose to show others through the computer screen and what these choices say about us. We end with an activity in which students are requested to describe the homes of people, based on their description. *This lesson also exists ingoogle slides format, to be used in a video chat while screen sharing for distance learning. This download is appropriate for high school students in Life skills classes, young students of ESL, and adult ESL cultural, business, and conversational classes. The first lesson: ♚ The difference between a ‘Home’ and a ‘House’ ♚ What part of a house indicates its culture? ♚ Why is it important that a house reflects the culture of its residents? ♚ The oddities of American homes – how do reflect the American culture? ♚ The oddities of British homes – how do reflect the British culture? ♚ The size of a family house ♚ How does your home reflect your life? ♚ Why are home design and character around the world becoming similar to one another? The second lesson: ♚ working from home, using zoom, during the pandemic ♚ The choice of room and background ♚ Activity with worksheet – describing people’s houses and how they reflect their culture and personality. I hope you and your students enjoy this lesson!

British Christmas 2018 -2019 through ads – ESL adult business power-point lesson *This lesson requires you to download the commercial videos from YouTube! (links and instructions are provided) This is a 30 slide PowerPoint ESL adult conversation lesson in editable PPT format with activity, work paper, and teacher’s notes. In Britain, the Christmas season officially starts when the first Christmas advert is played. Christmas adverts are a staple in Britain, people all over the country wait for them to air because the productions go "all-out" with the expense and quality. I think these ads are a great way to teach our ESL students about British Christmas traditions and culture as well as present-day social changes. This lesson focuses on the change in marketing strategies around Christmas and how Christmas adverts reflect the current mood in pre-Brexit Britain. I created this lesson for adult ESL business classes, but any ESL class of intermediate and advanced levels or high school business classes will enjoy this lesson. This lesson contains: · Last year’s winning ad · The book of dreams · Brief British history · Technology VS tradition · Alternative ads · Low budget ads I loved making this lesson and I hope that you’ll enjoy teaching it. Wishing you all a very happy holiday season! Check out my latest lessons: Superstitions quiz The end of the world – are you prepared?

I’m painfully aware of what seems to be very poor judgment of career choice on my part, and to be honest, a large part of this choice was to stick it to Mrs. Jacobson that said that there’s no place for the likes of me with my “pretend excuses” for misspelling every third word, in any self-respecting educational institution, so naturally I had to become a teacher. For more than 25 years I’ve been teaching ESL adult classes and cross culture business classes, and much like other challenged individuals who go through life with one hand tied behind their backs, I try to make up for what I lack in the spelling department with hours of research, high quality graphics, humour, passion and love for what I do. The fact that I can actually do this job is first and foremost a testimony of open mindedness (or desperation brought on by the long economic recession) of the schools that hired me over the years despite my very evident drawback, by the parents that tolerated grammar mishaps and most of all by my beautiful students who have learned to “always double check their teacher” and have come up with the sweetest, most heart-warming and diplomatic ways of pointing out my spelling errors (putting to great use their newly acquired conditional capacity: “I’m not sure, but, I think I might have spotted…”) Over the years, I've personally contributed to the economic success of countless computer ‘correcting program’ available on the market (you're welcome Grammarly) and on top of that my lessons are proof read by wonderful, kind (and slightly horrified) TPT teachers, BUT there are always some errors that slip by us (mostly because I keep messing with the lessons after they've been proofread). If you feel offended by the existence of spelling errors in what is supposed to be a teaching tool or if you, much like Mrs. Jacobson, think the dyslexia is just an excuse not to try harder THEN THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FOR YOU! For all you tree hugging, open-minded individuals, who are looking for challenging, original material for your conversation classes and can see beyond the possible grammar errors (maybe even use it as a teaching opportunity “An extra point for the first student who can spot the obvious grammar error that I always tell you never to make”. Plus, you know that wonderful, warm, superior feeling you get when you catch a colleague’s error - well these moments are included with the product – no extra charge) THIS PRODUCT IS DEFINITELY FOR YOU!

This presentation contains a 30 slide PowerPoint lesson in editable PPT format with a worksheet and teacher’s notes. This lesson discusses taboos – please review the preview and read the description carefully before buying it, some teachers might not feel comfortable discussing this topic with their conversation class! Taboos play a natural and necessary part in shared moral psychology since human behavior is rarely governed by rational decision making. Taboos have a huge effect on our lives, they bind us together as a group and help us cope with doubt as individuals. But taboos are created by those who are in power and more often than not they represent what is good for that particular group and not necessarily what is objectively good for everyone else. This lesson offers a look into the creation process of taboos and why every culture has them. We discuss why they are so effective and how to recognize them and challenge them. This topic will challenge your students to use a large vocabulary, in order to express their opinion and debate serious but fascinating moral issues. This lesson contains: ♚ What are taboos? ♚ The origin of taboos ♚ Are taboos necessary to protect society? ♚ What is the difference between taboos and social norms? ♚ How to create a taboo? ♚ How to challenge a taboo? ♚ Which taboos need rethinking? I loved making and teaching this lesson, I hope that you and your students enjoy it too.

This presentation contains a 41 slide PowerPoint lesson in editable PPT format with teacher’s notes. The holidays are a hectic time of year –family gatherings, work functions, huge meals, gift exchanges, holiday parties, and potlucks – the environmental toll of the holiday madness is staggering and so is the social conflict of traditions vs progress. In our remarkably fast paced and changing world, holiday traditions may offer an important organizing and centering experience to a life full of constant change but Living in a multicultural world means that your cherished traditions may differ and even contradict the ones of those around you. Where some find comfort in the repetitive, predictable nature of traditions, others experience them as a stressful and sad reminder that they don’t belong. Mixing traditions and creating new ones is appearing to be more and more common as the world becomes more globalized and it seems the millennial generation is (once again) leading this change. This lesson includes: · Why are traditions important? · Tradition VS modern health trends · Tradition and social change · Tradition and social media · Tradition VS modern day stress · Tradition VS the environment I hope you enjoy this lesson Please let me know how this lesson worked out for you.

This is an ESL holiday adult conversation lesson in PowerPoint format, with worksheets and teacher’s notes. This conversation lesson discusses Christmas gift-giving. We compare gift buying today and in the past and try to figure out if life today (with technology, the internet, and free 24-hour shipment) makes it easier to buy Christmas gifts, or (with the overload of choice and abundance of lower-quality products) more difficult. Students discuss the giving and receiving of the most common gifts (using the grammar form “likely”). We also look into spending habits, our expectations, and the real reasons (social pressure, guilt, interests, or family obligations…) behind some of the gifts. We end with a discussion about presents for children, what type should we get, how many, and what factors make up parental gift-giving decisions. *Even if your students don’t celebrate Christmas, this lesson is a great conversation practice in gift-giving and receiving habits. You could easily adapt the conversation to a different holiday involving gift-giving. This lesson was created for ESL adults but is also suited for high-school students in life skills and psychology classes.

This is a set of PowerPoint Templates for Christmas tree and gifts, with a total of 24 pages, green tone, simple and beautiful design. It is suitable for slide presentation of Christmas blessing, Christmas promotion, C

This is a 23 slide PowerPoint ESL adult conversation lesson in editable PPT format with an activity, work sheet and teacher’s notes This is a particularly fun lesson to teach mostly because of the activity at the end. It is one of my student’s favorite lessons and I hope yours will love it as well. Please note that if there’s a “Doomsday prepper” in your class, the argument might get very heated, so tread carefully. This lesson contains: - What is Apocalypticism and why are we obsessed with it? - In what ways might the world come to an end? - survival preparation statistics - Do other countries around the world view the ‘End of the world scenario’ differently to Americans? - What are “Doomsday preppers”? - Does having a family make it easier or more difficult? - Would you be willing to defend yourself with a lethal weapon in order to survive? - Activity featuring - shelter supply choices This lesson works great as an ice breaker or beginning/ end of school lesson. I hope you enjoy it! Important: This lesson includes a YouTube video. I’m aware that some people might have difficulty embedding videos into power point presentations (you have an instruction sheet available to walk you through the process), and that YouTube videos sometimes get removed or moved around – therefore the video slide is hidden and is only given as an option. If you don’t use it, it will not affect the lesson in any way!

This presentation contains a 29 slide PowerPoint lesson in editable PPT format with a worksheet and teacher’s notes. The weekend is here, and everyone breathes a sigh of relief, but are we really taking full advantage of this time-out to relax properly and switch off? Research shows that due to a mix of individual ambitions, bad organizational skills and technology which makes work accessible 24 hours a day, a growing number of adults are not capable of leaving their work stress behind and consequently return back to work after the weekend stressed and not rested. Another growing group (a third of UK workers – according to a recent study), fail to enjoy their weekend because of ‘'Weekendvy” – the need to exaggerate or even lie about their weekend plans to impress colleagues. ‘The weekend’ is a fun and light adult conversation topic which will get a lot of voluntary participation in your classroom.. This lesson contains: ♚ Grammar worksheets - weekend vocabulary and related expressions. ♚ Adjectives ending with ed and with ing relating to the weekend. ♚ Who created the weekend? ♚ What is the ideal weekend? ♚ Weekend food traditions. ♚ What is 'Weekendvy”? ♚ What is “The Saturday syndrome”? ♚ What is “Weekend effect”? ♚What does Your weekends happiness depend on? I loved making and teaching this lesson, I hope that you and your students enjoy it too.

This presentation contains a 16 slide PowerPoint lesson in editable PPT format with a student’s worksheet and teacher’s notes. We all have objects that we feel are irreplaceable, some more than others, but what happens when we lose them? Can technology help? The grammar part of this lesson focuses on using adjectives to describe objects in their correct order and describing their exact location. The conversation part of this lesson concentrates on the reason we keep sentimental objects, why they are so precious to us, and at what happens when they turn into a “sentimental clutter” and take over our lives? This lesson contains: ♚ Grammar worksheets – description and instructions. ♚ What makes an object irreplaceable? ♚ Can modern technology help us with keeping irreplaceable objects safe? ♚ Does everyone feel nostalgic about objects? ♚ Do you find it difficult to let go of sentimental objects? ♚ What does “sentimental clutter“ mean? ♚ How can we declutter our lives? I loved making and teaching this lesson, I hope that you and your students enjoy it too.

This presentation contains a 40 slide PowerPoint lesson in an editable PPT format and Teacher notes and two work papers that accompany the lesson. Color psychology is an amazing subject, it took me soooo long to sift through the mountain of fascinating research so that I could present only the most interesting ones (I hope I’ve succeeded). My students loved the game of association and the color game – I hope yours will enjoy them as well. This lesson includes: - What is color and why it doesn’t exist. - A discussion about color preference and how does that fit in with the statistics. - A color association game. - The AMAZING color RED why is it unique and how it messes with our brains. - Color choices that changed the world. - How colors backfire. - Colors and genetics. - Tetrachromats and their wonderful gift. - The color game.

This is an ESL holiday adult conversation lesson in PowerPoint format, with worksheets and teacher’s notes. This conversation lesson discusses Christmas gift-giving. We compare gift buying today and in the past and try to figure out if life today (with technology, the internet, and free 24-hour shipment) makes it easier to buy Christmas gifts, or (with the overload of choice and abundance of lower-quality products) more difficult. Students discuss the giving and receiving of the most common gifts (using the grammar form “likely”). We also look into spending habits, our expectations, and the real reasons (social pressure, guilt, interests, or family obligations…) behind some of the gifts. We end with a discussion about presents for children, what type should we get, how many, and what factors make up parental gift-giving decisions. *Even if your students don’t celebrate Christmas, this lesson is a great conversation practice in gift-giving and receiving habits. You could easily adapt the conversation to a different holiday involving gift-giving. This lesson was created for ESL adults but is also suited for high-school students in life skills and psychology classes. This lesson includes: ♚ Why has Christmas gift-giving become easier/ more difficult in the last decade? ♚ Gift spending comparison ♚ How did Covid 19 and the lockdown gift affect spending decisions last year? ♚ Who do you give Christmas gifts to? ♚What are your (real) reasons for giving? ♚ What is “Conspicuous giving”? ♚ What is an inappropriate Christmas gift? ♚ How do you feel about “Joke” gifts? ♚ What are the most common Christmas gifts? ♚ Christmas gift comparison ♚ Unwanted presents! ♚ Children’s gifts THIS LESSON ALSO EXISTS IN A GOOGLE SLIDES FORMAT FOR DISTANCE LEARNING.

Seasons are great ESL conversation topics, they allow comparison to the past, comparison between cultures and predictions for the future. Summers are not just different because we experience them from an adult perspective, they are also different objectively from the past because of the changes caused by global warming. (In these strange times, talking about a summer’s vacation may be the closest some of us will get to one… so let’s make the most of it) This lesson includes two one-hour PowerPoint conversation lessons with worksheets. In part one we discuss the changes in the season due to global warming and how it affects our lives. In part two we compare our childhood summer memories to our adult summer experiences, and we discuss the benefits of this season compared to other seasons. *This lesson also exists in a PowerPoint format! Part one: This part of the lesson focuses on the characteristics of summer and the global changes of the season. It includes a 17-slide PowerPoint presentation and 2 worksheets In this lesson: ♚ What causes the seasons? ♚ Summer Solstice facts ♚ Summer Solstice traditions ♚ Has the summer season changed? ♚ What would be the possible consequences of hotter, longer summers? ♚ Why do bugs seem more common during the summer? ♚ The impact of the decline of bugs ♚ How has COVID 19 changed summer? ♚ What is the perfect Summer vacation? Part two: This part of the lesson focuses on personal memories and experiences It includes a 17-slide PowerPoint presentation and 4 worksheets In this lesson: ♚ What is a summer person? ♚ Which season has the most advantages? ♚ Summer food ♚ childhood summer memories ♚ Why do the summers of our youth seem so much longer? ♚ Summer blues ♚ The fun in summer projects ♚ Why are ‘Summer romances’ so common? ♚ What is “Freckling“? I hope you and your students enjoy this lesson and I wish you a wonderful and healthy summer.

This is an ESL adult seasonal conversation lesson. It includes 2 PowerPoints with worksheets, a quiz activity, and teacher’s notes for approximately 4 hours of lesson. Winter in many English-speaking countries is associated with cold and rough weather and includes many idioms and proverbs. ESL students sometimes struggle with basic seasonal terms because they are unfamiliar with this type of weather and with the local traditional customs that it entails. This is a two-hour lesson each including a PowerPoint with worksheets. We approach winter from two directions: The first lesson discusses winter and its challenges and compares it with winter in the past – it includes worksheets and a fun quiz activity. The second lesson is a conversation about winter activities and weather, the effects it has on us, and how each one of us chooses to confront it. It includes winter idiomatic vocabulary and worksheets. *This lesson also exists in a PowerPoint format (you can preview a video of the first part of the lesson there) This download is appropriate for high school students in Life skills classes, young students of ESL, and adult ESL cultural, business, and conversational classes. The lesson includes: Winter part 1: ♚ The best and worst parts of winter according to North Americans ♚ Winter clothes vocabulary - British VS American ♚ How have winter clothes changed in the past 200 years? ♚ Which winter clothes items don't exist anymore? ♚ What do winter holidays from around the world have in common? ♚ our winters VS past generation winters ♚ Winter dishes ♚ Winter shopping ♚ Quiz activity Winter part 2: ♚ Winter season on opposite sides of the globe ♚ How do you feel about winter sports? ♚ Has winter weather changed? ♚ winter weather idiomatic phrases ♚ What is SAD? ♚ Severe winter weather phenomena ♚ What are “storm chasers”? ♚ Why do people become storm chasers? ♚ Quiz activity I hope you and your students enjoy this lesson!

The fact that I can actually do this job is first and foremost a testimony to the open-mindedness (or desperation brought on by the long economic recession) of the schools that hired me over the years despite my very evident drawback, to the parents that tolerated grammar mishaps and most of all to my beautiful students who have learned to “always double-check their teacher” and have come up with the sweetest, most heart-warming and diplomatic ways of pointing out my spelling errors (putting to great use their newly-acquired conditional capacity: “I’m not sure, but, I think I might have spotted…”) Over the years, I've personally contributed to the economic success of countless computer ‘correcting program’ available on the market (you're welcome Grammarly) and on top of that, my lessons are proofread by a few dedicated, wonderful, kind (and slightly horrified) TPT teachers, BUT there are always some errors that slip by us (mostly because I keep messing with the lessons after they've been proofread). • If you feel offended by the existence of spelling errors in what is supposed to be a teaching tool • or if you, much like Mrs. Jacobson, think the dyslexia is just an excuse not to try harder THEN THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FOR YOU! For all you tree-hugging, open-minded individuals, who are looking for challenging, original material for your conversation classes and can see beyond the possible grammar errors (maybe even use it as a teaching opportunity “An extra point for the first student who can spot the obvious grammar error that I always tell you never to make”.) Plus… you know that lovely, warm, superior feeling you get when you catch a colleague’s error - well these moments are included with the product – no extra charge THIS PRODUCT IS DEFINITELY FOR YOU! All my lessons are in an editable PPT format and you get a free product if you send me the errors to correct.

This presentation contains a 29 slide, power point presentation with teacher’s notes. Not every child experiences a great relationship with their grandparents but those who do/did can attest to the benefits, the love and the unique memories that this special relationship provides. A study by Boston College researchers found that close grandparent-grandchild relationships even have health benefits and was found to reduce depressive symptoms in both groups. “Grandparents” is a great cross-cultural conversation topic and the massive changes in the role of grandparents (especially in western societies), resulting from the ongoing technological and social changes in the past two generations, make for an interesting and lively conversation lesson. ⇛ This lesson includes: ♚· vocabulary ♚· Type of grandparents ♚ The role of grandparents in people’s childhoods ♚· Grandparents and genetics ♚· What determines the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren? ♚· How are grandparents today different to grandparents in previous generations? ♚· The factors that determine multigenerational Living. ♚· What is ageism? This lesson was created as a conversation lesson with adult ESL students in mind but could be used with high school social and family programs. Please let me know how this lesson worked out for you.

This presentation contains a 16 slide PowerPoint lesson in editable PPT format with a student’s worksheet and teacher’s notes. We all have objects that we feel are irreplaceable, some more than others, but what happens when we lose them? Can technology help? The grammar part of this lesson focuses on using adjectives to describe objects in their correct order and describing their exact location. The conversation part of this lesson concentrates on the reason we keep sentimental objects, why they are so precious to us, and at what happens when they turn into a “sentimental clutter” and take over our lives? This lesson contains: ♚ Grammar worksheets – description and instructions. ♚ What makes an object irreplaceable? ♚ Can modern technology help us with keeping irreplaceable objects safe? ♚ Does everyone feel nostalgic about objects? ♚ Do you find it difficult to let go of sentimental objects? ♚ What does “sentimental clutter“ mean? ♚ How can we declutter our lives? I loved making and teaching this lesson, I hope that you and your students enjoy it too.

*This lesson requires you to download the commercial videos from YouTube! (links and instructions are provided) This is a 40 slide PowerPoint ESL adult conversation lesson in editable PPT format with an activity, work paper and teacher’s notes. In Britain, Christmas season officially starts when the first Christmas advert is played. Christmas adverts are a staple in Britain, people all over the country wait for them to air because the productions go "all out" with the expense and quality. Some of the most fondly remembered and nostalgic adverts have always been the Christmas adverts.  I think these beautiful ads are a great way to teach our ESL students about British Christmas traditions. This lesson contains: · Home for “Crimbo” · Father Christmas · British expletives · British wildlife · British war *please note that this lesson includes (among other things) a commercial that has (blipped over) profane language –if you’re working with young students, you can either remove that part completely or hide the slides. I loved making this lesson and I hope that you’ll enjoy teaching it. Checkout my latest lessons: Superstitions quiz The end of the world – are you prepared?

This Easter lesson encourages a discussion about ethics and consumer responsibility. We discuss government conduct, environmental challenges, legal humanitarian issues, and the concept of boycotting, all under the Easter holiday excuse. $2.5 billion is spent on chocolate in Easter, in the USA Alone.

This is a 21 slide PowerPoint ESL adult conversation lesson in editable PPT format with worksheets, an activity, and teacher’s notes. When I first created this lesson, it was much longer. After teaching it a few times I discovered that, as a conversation topic, friendship triggers an emotional response that doesn’t need a lot of encouragement. Talking about best friends and friendship transcends age/ culture/ and gender differences. Apparently, we all expect the same thing from our best friend, we all get disappointed by the same things, we all suffer from the same problems. At the end of the lesson, the students are asked to predict “what would their BFF do in specific situations” – it’s very interesting to hear their predictions and it’s even more interesting when the tables are turned. This lesson contains: · The importance of having a best friend · Definition of this particular title · The role of a best friend · What would break a ‘Best friend’ relationship? · BFF’s of the opposite sex? A possibility or a myth · Making serious future plans with your BFF · What things would you never tell your BFF? · How well do you know your BFF? I loved making this lesson and I hope that you’ll enjoy teaching it. Check out my latest lessons: Superstitions quiz The end of the world – are you prepared?
