Description

The verb 'to be' is crucial for learning tenses! Let's move beyond grammar worksheets. This 3-week unit is packed with ELL activities planned and prepared with everything your secondary or adult English language learners need to develop their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills!


I know you're busy, so rest assured this unit includes: digitizing ideas for increased engagement, lesson descriptions, speaker notes with ideas for differentiation, answer keys for grading ease, and a unit assessment.


Here's what you'll also get:

✔ 6 slides of editable notes that save you time writing on the board

✔ 8 slides of read-alouds for engaging class practice throughout the unit
✔ 6 slides of fill-in-the-blank and labeling for partner practice

✔ 2 worksheets that reinforce concepts

✔ 2 reading texts so students see how the language is used naturally

✔ 2 writing activities and a gallery walk that solidify grammar and vocabulary
✔ 3 listening activities to enhance language acquisition

✔ 5 speaking activities to build fluency including 2 board games

✔ 10 classroom items and 24 job flashcards for extra speaking and self-study

Here is the best part. Included at no extra cost:

✔ 5 YouTube links and 4 online games

✔ 10 LiveWorksheets links

✔ 3 Kahoots! 3 Nearpods, 2 Quizziz, 2 EdPuzzles, and 1 Blooket

✔ Links to 8 PDF worksheets, 2 PDF speaking activities, and 1 PDF quiz

These work perfectly for tutoring struggling learners, keeping fast finishers quiet, producing last-minute sub plans, finding ready-to-go warm-ups, or simply having extra days of practice with your class.

This is an excellent resource for teaching "to be" with your newcomer and beginning students. The resources cover all domains of language acquisition, and are engaging. Because of the engagement, there is use of and transfer of the skills taught. I highly recommend this unit for your older high school learners.
