I love it! The worksheets give the students good examples of using a proper language giving feedback to other students. Sometimes, the students don't really mean to use harsh words--they just don't know how to express it appropriately (maybe it has to do with the cultural differences). The samples can help the students to give kind and helpful feedback, and lessen the possibility of hurting someone's feeling.

I just found a really interesting app, which might be really helpful for learning vocabularies by drawing, and it's a fun game!

If you have iphone, ipod...etc, you can download it and also suggest your students download it, too (I think it's also available for android system users). The vocabularies showed up in the game mostly are popular and common used vocabularies, some of them are more like slang or popular acronym. I think it's very useful both from the perspective of linguistic competence and socilcultural competence to ESL learners.
(But be careful, you might be addicted to it easily!)

After introducing the creative games website  http://creativitygames.net/ , which  has a really useful word generator (and interesting games!), I had been thinking about how to fix the problem if the teacher wants to choose specific word class to match students' level. Fortunately I found this cool website:
http://www.wordlistgenerator.net/


You can choose the word length, the number of syllables, forms, or even the initial sound of the word, and then create your own word list for your students! For Example, if your students are at the beginning level, you might choose the words with shorter length or less syllables. You can also choose how many commonly used words you want to include into your list by selecting Dolch words or Fry words. Anyways, there are many things that you can use in this website, I hope you enjoy creating your own word list!

In order to raise students' interest, using images or videos as pre-reading activities can help students to understand the material more, especially for the students who are not really interested in the topic, or when the topic is to hard to understand. In this case, I found a intro video about "pulsar," and it can give students a general idea about what they are going to read. (The video is kinda dramatic)

Teaching with visual aids can actually make the class more interesting, especially to children. Children are easy to be attracted by what comes to their eyes (especially vivid images or cartoons). Here's the link I found about the idea that how to use visual aids to help students with their learning process:  https://audio-visual-ebooks.wikispaces.com/The+Uses+of+Audio-Visual+Aids+in+Teaching


Here's the link I found on Youtube: [size=78%]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3ZfiVj4DBQ&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PL98D896F906C4392A[/size]
This series has many interesting and useful video about how to teach children with strong visual aids!

I also noticed that there are a lot of descriptive words in Harry Potter! I think it is a good material for students to focus on the how the language is being used--they can do brainstorming in groups and then draw a picture of the story. By using the image (which is drawn by themselves), students can memorize descriptive words easier than just read without any visual aids, they can also pay attention on how the sentences are being formed (either in order to be more easier to read or to be more beautiful). This can also help students with their writing skill!
