There are so many different national days to celebrate throughout the year. I have created presentations about a wide range of them. These could be used as displays, or as an excellent starting point for a discussion about the day’s topic. This is part 2 of a 2 part series. These could also be used as part of a set of school assemblies.
I have collected a very wide range of different National Day presentations I have created, from throughout the year, such as Science Day, Commonwealth Day, European Day of Languages, Mountain Day and Pancake Day, to name but just a few of them!
A bundle about the medical profession, including dentists, doctors and nurses, along with keeping healthy packs. It also includes a creative writing prompt and a keeping healthy spelling and vocabulary pack.

The example unit would be perfect for anyone interested in the topic of teeth, health or the dentist.
• This pack also includes a sample set of finished worksheets (with answers) on the topic of “Dentist”. The level is pre-intermediate to intermediate.
• You don’t need to create all the worksheets for a given topic; simply choose the ones you need. The worksheets are in four categories: vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and speaking & listening. Of course, you can also adapt the worksheets and include your own activities and categories.
• Remember, as the teacher, you should know the answers to the worksheets! By thinking about the answers and researching what you do not know, your teaching skills will improve.
• The worksheets practise concepts and skills that are fundamental to the You Are The Course Book method of teaching, for example: discussion words, spelling statements, tense conversion, idioms, word stress, sentence stress, collocations, connected speech, discussion, and so on.
• In keeping with the YATCB method, why not encourage your students to make their own activities based on these worksheets – then swap them with one another, or give them to other classes.
• You can write on the blank worksheets then photocopy them for your students, or create your own templates modelled on these worksheets

Igniting Curiosity: The Value of 32 Photos of Volcanoes for Educators
Investing in a set of 32 stunning photos of volcanoes from around the world is an outstanding resource for teachers aiming to enhance their students’ understanding of geology, natural science, and environmental studies. These captivating images serve as a versatile educational tool that can spark interest and facilitate engaging discussions. Here’s why educators should consider adding these volcano photos to their teaching materials and how they can be effectively utilized in the classroom.
Visual Engagement: High-quality photos of volcanoes capture students’ attention and provide a visual representation of geological formations and processes. This makes complex scientific concepts more accessible and engaging for visual learners.
Exploring Geological Concepts: These photos allow educators to introduce essential topics such as tectonic plates, magma formation, and volcanic eruptions. Students can analyze different types of volcanoes—including shield, stratovolcano, and cinder cone—through real-world examples.
Cross-Curricular Connections: The volcano photos can be integrated into various subjects, including science, geography, and art. For example, students can study the geographical distribution of volcanoes or create artistic representations of volcanic landscapes.
Discussion Prompts: The images can serve as catalysts for classroom discussions on topics like natural disasters, climate change, and the impact of volcanic eruptions on ecosystems and human settlements. This encourages critical thinking and raises awareness of environmental issues.
Creative Projects: Educators can inspire creative assignments based on the photos, such as designing a travel brochure for a volcanic destination, crafting informative posters about specific eruptions, or writing narratives that incorporate volcanic themes.
Field Trip Preparation: If planning a field trip to a geological site or natural park featuring volcanoes, these images can help students familiarize themselves with what they will see, enhancing their engagement and appreciation of geological wonders.
In summary, a set of 32 photos of volcanoes from around the world is a valuable resource for educators, enhancing engagement, promoting discussions, and supporting creative learning experiences.
