Mini Update: ESL Websites

Well, today's plan is to talk about the word like. We can talk about all the different things we like, and what everyone else likes. This way once I get more students (or if I have the same large amount I had the other day!) we can play the name game where each student says something like "My name is Jeannie and I like cats. This is Julia and she likes dogs." The game grows to add more people, which makes repetition of the I like phrase, the he/she likes phrase, and best of all, helps me learn their names!!!! :)

I have class in just a few minutes (it's 20 minutes to 9 here), so this will update be fairly short.

Patty sent me a good website from about.com about ESL, and I'll giving the older students quizzes from it. Thank you! Darwin said he took the one I gave him yesterday about prepositions (on, at, in, etc) and only got one wrong, so that's good.

My absolute favorite for most kids, because everyone can always learn some vocab (and be entertained!!) so far has to be:

I also just found another site with some lesson plans:
