Have you had a great speaking lesson this year? Share your idea here!
Lots of follow-up possibilities: (here: a woman methematician in 3rd century Alexandria: why so few women mathematicians, religious fanaticism - she was killed by bunch of early Christians) etc. ||
 * ~ Teacher's Name ||~ Idea for Speaking Lesson ||
 * < pete ||< elicited what was in the news that day: Durnwalder to become dad again at 71! What do students think of the advantages/disadvantages of being an older dad. Same for older mum. When's the best age to have kids? What do kids need from their parents. Pairwork/Groupwork/Plenary/Homework ||
 * < pete ||< had given students webquest for homework: find out what you can about Hypatia (part of ongoing series of webquest homeworks on not so well-known historical personalities). Students exchange information in groups of 3 (usually one of the 3 hadn't done HK, but other 2 had)
