"You're a star, because..."

I used this activity with my 7th graders.
First I asked them to draw a six pointed star on a cardboard or paper, any colour they liked. Then they brought their stars to class. The aim was to think of someone they would like to give their star to and write on it (in the middle) the sentence "You're a star because ..." and finally write an adjective on each of the six parts of the star. It was a nice way to practise different adjectives. When they finished their work, they exchanged their stars. It was quite a surprise what they thought about other classmates.

I'm showing here only three of the many stars.

This was an end of the school year activity.

THE STORY BEHIND A SONG - A PROJECT FOR 9TH GRADERS

I used this project with my 9th grade students. I wanted them to practise some structures and vocabulary, as well as research on their favourite songs / singers. And we all know how much teenagers love music!

First I handed this guide out:

THE FUTURE SIMPLE FOR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS - A PPT PRESENTATION

A ppt presentation for elementary students who study a Future Tense for the first time. Quite easy, straight to the point examples, with some explanations in Portuguese.
I used it after they studied a text with some sentences in the Future Simple. Well, they were more involved because, at this age (12 year olds!), they're strongly attracted to image. A lesson that worked well. I'm sharing it with you:
