Biorhythms - April 16, 2018
Lesson Collection #5 - Lesson 5
Students first create their own biorhythm charts. Then, in pairs, they discuss the items on their "To Do" list. Some of these tasks require more mental, physical OR emotional stamina.
A typical conversation might go like this:
Student A: When's the best time for you to study all night?
Student B: The best time for me to study all night is around
June 14th because I will be UP mentally. How about you?
Student A: That's not the best time for me. How about early July?
Student B: That's OK. How about July 3rd?
Student A: That's fine because I'll be way up mentally around that time.
This lesson guarantees a whole lot of lively discussion, and students will have to not only listen carefully to each other, but they'll have to coordinate their Biorhythmic schedules.
What Makes Our Lessons Different?
Teachers Save Time
Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.
Students Learn by Doing
Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.
Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing
Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.
Fun for Teachers & Students
We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.

Hi Kurt!,
What a wonderful site you’ve got there, thanks for all the great ideas. I teach high school girls who really dislike studying, but even they manage to get some enjoyment from these lessons.
We EFL teachers need more sites like these.
I integrate your lessons into my syllabus so girls never get bored. For them, English should be entertainment and while most textbooks are short on that, your lessons are not.
Keep up the wonderful work!
Regards,
Elizabeth Longo Seong Am Girls’ Information Industrial High School
Hi Kurt,
That’s one of the greatest ESL sites on the web (the best one when it comes to activities).

Dear Kurt,
Your EFL4U activities are honestly among the very best that I’ve discovered on the web. They are consistently imaginative, high quality and engaging. The students are motivated and the classes are lively.

Hi Kurt,
Your collection of lesson worksheets is really great. It makes my teaching much easier and funnier. I work in an International House School in Ukraine. We all enjoy your lessons, especially our students. Your illustrations are just great.

I haven’t yet found any materials which are as exciting and as ready to use as yours!
