Creative posters to use in creative classes! - Part 1

This morning, I was checking out some recommended pins in an email I'd received from pinterest
and came across a couple of things that gave me ideas for new collections to start and also inspiration for this post!

What about putting on some stimulating music (I'll leave you to choose suitable music for yourself and your students!)

Tell students to think about things they love doing........ something they haven't done for a while - because they haven't had time, someone they haven't seen for some time and they enjoy being with and doing things with.  They could share their thoughts with a partner or in a small group.

Then, show students these 'thoughts': 


You could focus on the structure and how it is repeated throughout:

I still find each day too short for 

                           all the  +  plural noun  +  I want to  +  infinitive

The plural noun needs to collocate with the verb - you take walks, read books, see friends.

Then, you could give them the skeleton for their thoughts and they write them down, using the same structure.
Here are my 'thoughts':

I'd better get on otherwise I won't have time to phone, chat, try out or develop!

Happy Monday!!
