| Kids in British Schools | Jürgen Wagner has
created ten activities called "Kids in British Schools", that he has tested
with his students. Each task includes a worksheet that you can download for free and several links to articles and websites to work from. The topics are varied, but all related to kids in British school : life in present schools and in Victorian schools, uniforms, discipline, truancy, term-time holidays, bullying, mobile phones, texting, etc. For each activity you will find excellent links, mostly from the BBC, including for example a video to teach kids to react to bullying or a dictionary to translate text lingo. |
