Collaborative idea generation for ELT

About

One of my favourite things about Twitter is the fact that whenever you ask for help with planning a lesson, lots of people respond. Here is an example of a lesson that I was helped with. This has inspired me to create a whole blog for lesson ideas. Each Wednesday I will post a prompt for you to exercise your teaching muscles by making suggestions on how you could use it in class. All ideas are welcome – there are no wrong answers! I will cover as many areas as possible with my prompts: pictures, realia, texts, pieces of software… At the end of the week I will add tags to show what has been suggested. Hopefully over time we will build up a bank of inspiration for you to turn to whenever you’re stuck.

It would also be great if you could share examples of how you’ve used the ideas in your lesson after the fact. Looking forward to seeing them!

Take a look at the most recent prompts here. If you have any ideas for future prompts, please let me know.
