Links, Links, Links...

I have been dusting off and adding more sites to my Easter page.  There are
now over one hundred links in English, French, German and Spanish.  You
will also find there treasure hunts in French, German and Spanish based on
those links which your classes can try out.

The address of my page is:

There is also a games page with over thirty Easter activities at:

I hope that you will find the pages useful.

Grammar through grammar doesn't work. Grammar is an analysis of language,
not the reason for language. After real communication happens in your
classroom, then your students can observe grammar with interest. But not all
students are interested in grammar itself. Therefore there are many
excellent books-grammar through games, photos, through pictures, through
diagrams, through actions.
Here are some jokes taken from RESOURCE (Practical Classroom Ideas For
Teaching Languages):

JOKE 1
Three students were walking home from school.
First Student: What shall we do this evening?
Second Student: Let's toss a coin. If it comes down heads, we'll go skating.
If it comes down tails, we'll go swimming.
Third Student: And if it comes down on its edge, we'll do our homework.

Again, the joke can be acted out to experience the concepts of the future
simple and the first conditional, then substitutions made to create new
jokes.

PERSONAL ANECDOTES
Prepare a humorous story of something that happened to you, e.g. "My second
most embarrassing moment". "A big surprise." "A funny thing I said as a
child." Tell your story. Ask your students in threes or fours to tell their
own stories on the same topic.

JOKE 2
Teacher: George, why aren't you writing?
George: I ain't got no pencil, sir.
Teacher: "You ain't got no pencil!" What terrible English! Listen, I have no
pencil. You have no pencil. He has no pencil. She has no pencil. We have no
pencils. They have no pencils.
George: Wow! Who has stolen all the pencils?

The theme song to the 1995 march "Du pain et des roses" in
Quebec, written by Hélène Pedneault, music by Marie-Claire
Séguin:

Du pain et des roses
Pour changer les choses
Du pain et des roses

Il nous faut des roses
Un souffle une pause
Il nous faut du pain
Donnons-nous la main
Nous sommes plus grandes
Que ce qu'il vous semble
Nous voulons la paix
Pour ce monde qu'on a fait

Chorus:
Du pain et des roses
Pour changer les choses
Du pain et des roses
Du pain et des roses
Pour qu'on se repose
Du pain et des roses

Trouvons des trouvailles
Pour que l'on travaille
Guettons les ghettos
Nous sommes égaux
Blanches, blondes et brunes
Nous voulons la lune
Rousses, grises et noires
Nous parlons d'espoir

Ces enfants qu'on aime
Ne sont pas des graines
Qu'on sème à tout vent
Au hasard du temps
Brûlez d'amour fou
Portez-les en vous
Comme un coeur battant
Jamais assez grand

Il nous faut des roses
Un souffle une pause
Il nous faut du pain
Donnons-nous la main
La terre est une femme
Entendez nos âmes
Ne soyez pas sourtd
Nous parlons d'amour

Have a good IWD!

GOOD LUCK!!!

Imagine that an adopted kid who had been in trouble with the law several
times, once for killing a priest, once for robbing a church, to name only
two, dribbled out over a period of 6 years about 3000 lines of poetry,
including some verse in theives jargon (recently billed as gay jargon).
In the poetry, the guy told some dirty jokes, said nasty things about
folks he must have met, but also wrote some verse that might be described
as quite beautiful.  He is killed, disappears or changes his name (he had
already used at lease 3 aliases) after 6 years.  Nobody has a real
biography of him, aside from police records and two college graduations
under known aliases.  So, in a little over four centuries, 60 cities on 3
continents and on islands in two oceans have named streets after him.
There are schools named after him on two continents, and there are lots of
other places, including restaurants, bars, cultural centers, film
companies, and hotels bearing his name.  In addition, there are some who
claim he never died, and is now an immortal vampire, running the city of
Paris in the secrecy of the night.

Time out, dude....like who is this guy...like I know he ain't one of us,
because we don't pay that kind of attention to american poets...uh unless
they're like rich gangster rappers.  Even then, I don't think the streets
in their "hood" are named after them.

The poet is Francois Villon, and the proof of what I say is on a page I
have just upgraded with fresh information from the net.
