Hi all

I'm starting a new teaching position where each week of classes is topic -based and at the end of the week, students need to be assessed by a sort of mini-project in the form of a presentation, creating a poster etc. For example, if the theme is friendship, perhaps they could talk about their best friend and their attributes etc for 3- 5 mins. Then I would grade them on their vocabulary, grammar, clarity etc.

Anyway, other than doing a presentation or creating a poster, does anyone have any other experience of this or any other ideas to contribute? I have a lot of flexibility on this, so be as out there as you like!

Another quick question is related to ice-breakers. I have various ones up my sleeve but was wondering if anyone has any favourite ones they would like to share. I will be working with the same class for a period of time, but after a couple of weeks, there will be weekly new additions so I'm hoping to build up a number of ice-breakers that can work well for these new additions whilst taking into account a lot of the class members will already know each other.

Any feedback on either of my queries would be much appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Can you share a bit more details (age, location/native language, level spoken)?
