Teacher Tips with Clyo

Hello there! Ok, the title may be a bit dramatic but that's what my 6th graders exclaimed when they saw today's resource. Verbs are the backbone of the English language. It's amazing to think how many actions we can perform and even more how many words there are to describe them. If you add the tranformations and the tenses... well, you can see why my students were a bit overwhelmed. But today's entry tip is short and simple, here's a list of verbs that you can use for class or give your students to learn.  Quick tip: if you ask them to memorize them in groups of five and make a contest out of it, they will never forget them. Ok, off to teach (or learn) you go!  See you later, Teacher Clyo

Hello! I've come to notice most of us English teachers end up creating our own materials for class, and while this makes classes original it also takes up a lot of time. Teaching is one of those jobs where you work a lot when you are not at work so here's my attempt to help out a little. Today I give you a presentation to teach about the Skeleton. First grade students don't know much about English grammar but they have an incredible ability to gather new vocabulary. So this is the best time to teach them easy everyday topics like the human body. Use this presentation for your class it includes a few games and activities and let me know if you like it. See you next tip, Teacher Clyo.

Hello, hello... (is anyone else singing this after that Tiktok trend?) One of the most difficult parts of teaching English as a second language is finding adequate material for our lessons, especially because our students want topics that are relevant and simple that they can easily relate to their everyday lives and our job as teachers is being really careful to give them content that is age adequate but still interesting. And here is where my favourite broadcasting company (sorry Televisa) comes in. The British Broadcasting Company (BBC) has dedicated itself to give us material and content that we can use in our lessons. I'll leave you this tip today because if you need listenings this is the best place to find them. Fuente: https://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/features/childrens-stories/rainyday
