Im 3 weeks in at my new public school. I teach High School Conversational English and so far I've been mostly using role playing activities with my classes. My instructions have been to create fun lessons giving students ample practice in speaking. I am not supposed to teach grammar or vocabulary. I have no set objectives or standards to follow, and for most students they do not even receive a grade. My co-teacher tells me to teach whatever I want as long as students have fun and practice speaking. So far so good, but in the weeks ahead, Im looking for new material. Most websites Ive browsed are directed toward young students. Any leads on high school speaking activities would be appreciated. I am very interested in sharing any lesson plans. Also, I have many art lessons and powerpoints that I can share from the last few year when I was an art teacher in NYC.
