Understanding idioms in English Set 3 Boom cards digital activity
By TamiaDesigns
Idioms can be tricky for English language learners or students with language learning difficulties to understand and they often need to be specifically introduced to them. This online, self-checking, activity hosted at Boom Learning℠, shows students 10 different idioms on 20 different cards, so they see each idiom twice.
The first 10 illustrated cards ask student to identify the literal meaning of the idiom in a sentence from 3 possible choices. The second set of 10 cards asks student to pick the idiom that best goes with the sentences, again from 3 possible choices.
Idioms included in this deck are: all in the same boat, like a fish out of water, break a leg, all bark and no bite, bite off more than you can chew, on top of the world, throw in the towel, let the cat out of the bag, kill two birds with one stone, pie in the sky.

Students: What I Think I Do - Week 1 Internet Activity
By Mark Holmes
I envisaged this to be a September week 1 internet activity. It will give students an opportunity to think about how other people perceive them. It could also be used as a lesson in how to search Google effectively or used as a dictionary / thesaurus activity, where students have to find descriptive words in order to search for appropriate pictures on Google Images.
These have been doing the rounds on FaceBook and email recently. You may have received posters / postcards entitled "Teachers...." or "Moms..." and then under the title are a series of photos with captions like;
What my friends think I do
What my mother thinks I do
What I think I do
What I really do
Each caption is accompanied by an image of what that person thinks about the other person or group of people.
The sample here is of the "Teacher..." postcard. This is NOT what I am selling. I am selling a similar template entitled, "Students..." It is laid out the same as the teacher one with the same titles (the word teacher has been replaced with student), however, the pictures are missing. Students must search Google Images for appropriate pictures that characterize themselves. The photo titles are as follows;
Students...
What my friends think I do
What my mother thinks I do
What society thinks I do
What my teachers think I do
What I think I do
What I really do
My students printed off the images and then cut them out and pasted them on.
Enjoy!!!!
