I used this very simple blank template to make my ESL students create their own menu. It's a great way to review the food vocabulary and progress to higher language about meals. There are four lines for each part of the meal and drinks, with a row on the right to add prices if you wish. You may use it afterward to calculate the price of a meal and work on numbers. Have fun with it!

At the end of my last lesson about traveling, my students told me they would like to visit Los Angeles. Well, I heard them loud and clear, and I made this little reading exercise! First, if you use my previous lesson before this, I ask them a few preliminaries questions to make them use the vocabulary seen, for example: - How can you go to Los Angeles? (depending on where you live, they might have no other choices than plane, but how do they reach the airport first?) - What would you take in yo

The second part is a form for the students to try their hand at writing their own review of a movie or TV show of their choice. It can be used for both ESL students (in which case, I recommend it only for 7th grade and
