Decent powerpoint, just needs a few tweaks apart from the points about British and England differences


Europe was once part of the British Empire? Needs tweaking that - also a cheeky side note with perhaps a small axe aimed at Maggie's head would work nicely!  ;)

Yeah, just read that slide. It's quite ridiculous.

"The UK has existed since BC (Before Christ)"  :laugh:
"The UK (England, Ireland and Scotland) were united in 1603." (Eh, in case you haven't noticed, Ireland's been independent from the UK since 1921. It's PPTs like this that make my students think Ireland's still part of the UK  :-\)
"The UK had one of the largest empires in the world which consisted of: ... Europe"  :laugh: Are you serious?

Oh, and you might want to look a bit into other reasons Oliver Cromwell is so famous...

High School lesson plan about Cultural Customs and Reactions
« Reply #23 on: September 02, 2011, 07:48:44 am »
 ;D
I attended the Fall 2011 EPIK orientation and we had to make and present a Lesson for our group. My group was assigned a High School lesson about Cultural Customs with Key Expressions like "I would  feel embarrasses if...." or "Are you familiar with.....".
  We incorporated a movie with the teachers as actors, a dubbing role playing activity to the cafe scene of When Harry Met Sally and a blank comic strip activity to help the students make up their own dialogue. The class really responded to this.
  I hope it helps you all make your lessons fun and educational.

Thanks! This lesson went really well with my high school students.
I am from NZ - so thought I would put this up for any kiwis out there teaching High School.
