[This is supposed to be a crossword puzzle.  Unfortunately blogger formatting can't handle a crossword puzzle.  So I'm just going to post the questions and answers here.  To make it into a crossword, go to a free crossword puzzle maker site, like Amored Penguin.  These questions are for a class studying the present perfect active and passive.  The answers are in the []brackets.]

Update:  At the new school where I'm currently working at now, they've got a lot of really creative ideas for puzzles and crosswords.  One idea is to paste the questions around the room, instead of on the paper.  So something I've been doing lately with these crosswords is cutting off the questions, and photocopying it with just the crossword blanks.  Then the students have to walk around the room to find the questions.  (Because getting this crossword correct relies on exact phrasing of the answer, I also will put the answers up around the room at different points.)  This works either as just a way to get the students to walk around the room, or it can also be adopted to a running dictation, where one student sits at their desk, and the other student runs around the room to find the questions and report back.

Below are the questions and answers I used for the first crossword puzzle.  Also at Google Docs Here.  Also a PowerPoint presentation I use to set up the activity, and then to check the answers at the end, is on Google Docs Here.

A friend of mine recently pointed me to this slate.com article:
The Tea Party Wants to Help You Go Solar: Utility companies are waging war on the solar industry. But the clean energy movement has found an unexpected ally in their fight.

The focus of the article is ultimately positive--the idea that the Tea Party can be seen as an ally of the environmental movement.
That's the positive spin. What I came away with instead, however, was outrage at how power companies are trying to sabotage solar power at the same time we are getting reports of how bad the climate crisis actually is.

On a completely different note...
Anyone who has lived in Japan is no doubt sick of hearing about the Yasukuni Shrine controversy--this ridiculous controversy that happens every single year when Japanese politicians visit the Shrine to honor the War Criminals, and the rest of the world gets upset about it.  And then the whole thing happens all over again next year.
But if this whole thing wasn't already ridiculous enough, now it's clearly descended into farce when the rest of the world now has to be outraged that Justin Bieber has visited Yasukuni Shrine.

Making Suggestions with How About, Let's and Would You Like To--Running Dictation

[The students are put into pairs and each pair is given an answer sheet. One student to goes outside the classroom to look at the sentences, and the other student writes down the sentence.  The student who looks at the quotes can not write, and the student who writes can not go outside the room to look at the quotes.  The quotes outside the room are written in direct speech, but the students have to change them into reported speech.  Then after the activity is finished, I hand out the answer sheets and have the students check their answers (or have other groups check each other.)  I'm still experimenting with how best to decide a winner.  Sometimes the winner is the first group to finish without mistakes.  In classes where there are no flawless groups, then each correct work is worth one point.In order to fit into blogger, the copy and paste version below is in portrait view, but it works better in landscape view.  See the Google Docs versions above]
