What's on your e-reader? At our webinar last week about boosting student talk time, many teachers contributed to a content wishlist! One attendee wished there was an Ellii Poll to go with our Discussion Starters lesson on E-books. We hope it's not too late for this Ellii Poll of the Week!

Is scrolling the new smoking? In this NEW intermediate Discussion Starters lesson on Doomscrolling, students discuss the reasons behind our addiction to negative news. This lesson includes a review of gerunds and infinitives along with practical tips for healthier online behavior.

Adjectives that end in -ing and -ed are known as participial adjectives.
These adjectives are formed from verbs and describe feelings or characteristics. This NEW resource includes a grammar review chart and practice task.

When the phrase "Fake News" first gained popularity in 2016, we were quick to develop a new lesson for our Discussion Starters section. A lot has changed since then, and AI has thrown a whole new spin on things. We have revised this Fake News lesson and we hope you're revisit it and encourage your students to keep striving to improve their media literacy.

This week's Associated Press video features a story about a community that lost their mosque in the California fires. How will Ramadan be different this year in this community and others?
