I found a few great plans for lesson, using real literature and not only simple texts. They could be used to spark a deeper level of conversation and understanding.

Dinosaurs, one of the most successful groups of animals (in terms of longevity) that have ever lived, evolved into many diverse sizes and shapes, with many equally diverse modes of living. The term "Dinosauria" was invented by Sir Richard Owen in 1842 to describe these "fearfully great reptiles," specifically Megalosaurus, Iguanodon, and Hylaeosaurus, the only three dinosaurs known at the time. The creatures that we normally think of as dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic Era, from late in the Triassic period (about 225 million years ago) until the end of the Cretaceous (about 65 million years ago). But we now know that they actually live on today as the birds.

Some things to keep in mind about dinosaurs:

* Not everything big and dead is a dinosaur. All too often, books written (or movies made) for a popular audience include animals such as mammoths, mastodons, pterosaurs, plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs, and the sail-backed Dimetrodon. Dinosaurs are a specific subgroup of the archosaurs, a group that also includes crocodiles, pterosaurs, and birds. although pterosaurs are close relations, they are not true dinosaurs. Even more distantly related to dinosaurs are the marine reptiles, which include the plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs. Mammoths and mastodons are mammals and did not appear until many millions of years after the close of the Cretaceous period. Dimetrodon is neither a reptile nor a mammal, but a basal synapsid, i.e., an early relative of the ancestors of mammals.

* Not all dinosaurs lived at the same time. Different dinosaurs lived at different times. Despite the portrayals in movies like King Kong and Jurassic Park, no Stegosaurus ever saw a Tyrannosaurus, because Tyrannosaurus didn't appear on the scene until 80 or so million years following the extinction of stegosaurs. The same goes for Apatosaurus ("Brontosaurus") — it's bones were already well-fossilized by the time T. rex came along.

* Dinosaurs are not extinct. Technically. Based on features of the skeleton, most people studying dinosaurs consider birds to be dinosaurs. This shocking realization makes even the smallest hummingbird a legitimate dinosaur. So rather than refer to "dinosaurs" and birds as discrete, separate groups, it is best to refer to the traditional, extinct animals as "non-avian dinosaurs" and birds as, well, birds, or "avian dinosaurs." It is incorrect to say that dinosaurs are extinct, because they have left living descendants in the form of cockatoos, cassowaries, and their pals — just like modern vertebrates are still vertebrates even though their Cambrian ancestors are long extinct.
Find answers to some commonly asked questions about dinosaurs:
* Are birds really dinosaurs?
* What killed the dinosaurs?
* Were dinosaurs hot-blooded or cold-blooded?
* Can we infer the possible speeds of dinosaurs?
* Is what the movies tell us about dinosaurs true?
Visit these special exhibits on some popular dinosaurs:
* Learn about Tyrannosaurus rex, the most famous of all dinosaurs.
* Take an "audio tour" and hear about the discovery and reconstruction of Dilophosaurus from the discoverer himself, the late Sam Welles.

Songs are a wonderful tool to use to teach English since it teaches intuitive English.

Songs and Activities for English Language Learners

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I use theactivities below to extend the lessons in the beginning reading textbook True Stories Behind the Songs and the high-beginning reading textbook More True Stories Behind the Songs, but they would also complement other materials and curricula, or work well on their own. They have been successful with my students, who are adults learning English at the beginning and high-beginning levels. However, most of the activities could easily be adapted for other ages and levels.

Song lyrics are often difficult to comprehend, even for native speakers of English. You'll notice that the activities below don't require students to understand every word of a song; instead, each activity homes in on one aspect of a song that is accessible to English language learners-an easy-to-sing chorus, for example, or a topic that is universally understood. The activity is built around that feature.

The activities are:

1. The Targeted Cloze

2. Summarizing the Song's Story (and making the summary"disappear")

3. Class Discussion on a Song's Theme

4. Building a Lesson Around a Repeated Phrase

5. Writing New Song Lyrics

6. Singing or Speaking the Chorus

7. Walking Lyrics-Dictation

8. A Minimal-Prep Lesson

9. One-Question Interview on Music

You can also find tips for Matching a Song with an Activity and general Tips for making your song-based lesson a success.

The classroom will then be 'transformed' into a photography exhibition, and students will practise giving opinions about a set of photos. Students will also invent a character based on a photo, and take part in a role play about a celebrity seeking paparazzi. Finally, there is a discussion activity so that students can discuss their attitudes to photos and photography.

Aims:
* To review vocabulary related to photography
* To practise speaking skills
