Back to school

We are getting ready to go back to school. It's time to find new materials for the lesson. I have added the idea of 100 Conversation Questions to my school bag. I know that teachers very often start the lesson by saying "Open your book...turn to page 4..." It’s important to get the students warmed up with a short activity.
Let's encourage them to be good conversationalists! There are 100 questions here, and they include easy and advanced topics. Some of them could be answered in one word or, if the mood takes everyone, could be an hour-long discussion. However, for most of the questions here, three to five minutes is recommended, plus another minute or two for the teacher to do a round-up. The questions here are suited to discussions in pairs or groups.

Food education in schools

 I think it is a very good resource for the organization of lessons about healthy eating. Jamie Oliver tries to pay attention to the problem, he says"This is a day to celebrate fresh, nutritious food, and to teach children in a fun way about where their food comes from, how to cook it and how it affects their bodies. It’s a day to shout out about the need for compulsory practical food education for every child in every school.
So how are we going to shout out about it?"

Victory Day

My ideas for this project 
Remembrance Day is celebrated throughout Britain in commemoration of the million or more British soldiers, sailors and airmen who lost their lives during the two World Wars.
There is the similar holiday in Russia, which is called Victory Day.
 I would like to compare these two holidays.

The aim is to study Remembrance Day in Britain and Victory Day in Russia in order to create Remembrance Book which will prove that people are united in the effort to remember and honor war heroes. ( Semova Nastya)
