Important Copyright and Photocopy Permission Information There seems to be more demand for ESL services and less money for books! It’s not easy to be an ESL teacher without photocopying books. ESL Resources recognizes this and provides ESL teachers with a relatively cheap source of legally reproducible books. For $25 - $50 purchasing teachers get an ESL book with photocopy permission. This is often less than 50 cents per reproducible page. Each book represents hundreds if not thousands of hours of preparation time. Teachers, how much is your time worth? Canadian Resources has the books - now keep us in business by purchasing our books. Photocopies are not for resale.
Purchasing Teacher (One Teacher Permission) A purchasing teacher is granted permission to photocopy this book for use by his/her students only. You can be an itinerant teacher at several sites or based at one site. Photocopies are not for resale.
Purchasing School (One School/Site Permission) If you need photocopy permission for more than one teacher in your school, it can be arranged for a small additional fee. Please contact me at thane@eslresources.com for further information.
FAQ Q: Can I make a copy for a teacher so she can photocopy from the photocopy for her students? A: Photocopying from a photocopy of this book is known as a pirate copy and is illegal. Isn’t it better just to purchase the book with photocopy permission for less than $50? Q: Can I borrow this book from a resource centre or library, then photocopy it? A: No, that would be copyright violation. You only get a photocopy license if you purchase the book or your school has purchased site photocopy permission.

50 Storyboards: An Introduction You can call them storyboards, comic strips or picture sequences, the fact remains these kinds of visuals are a great way to teach and learn English. Fifty Storyboards contains 50 thematic story-boards and 150 exercises. Each unit is comprised of one-six frame storyboard, an exercise to introduce the theme and then two more exercises in the form of ready-to-go exercise sheets. Storyboards are great because they are just the starting point. Use the storyboard with the class and elicit the story. Then brainstorm and make a list of vocabulary; start with nouns and verbs, then add adjectives. Storyboards are also great for multi-level classes: the lowest level can write nouns and verbs for each frame, the intermediate level can write sentences, and advance level can write a detailed story. Below we have included 20 ways to use the storyboards for various levels. Ten suggestions for common activities for beginner to intermediate students. 1. Cut out the pictures and have your students put them in order. Then they explain why they have chosen that order. 2. Add more empty frames; the students draw the pictures in them to make the story more complete. 3. The students write sentences for each picture. 4. Students make their own version of the sequence based on the theme and present it to the class. 5. Students physically demonstrate the activity in the picture and explain what they are doing. 6. The teacher writes the story in the present tense and students rewrite it in the past or future tense. 7. Use the first three pictures as a story starter and have students finish their own story. 8. As a class, make up simple sentences based on each picture. Then, the students improve the sentences and story by adding adjectives, better verbs, details etc. 9. Use ordinal numbers to describe the sequence in the storyboard. 10. Make a list of noun vocabulary for each story. Say a word and have students point to it in the picture. Ten suggestions for common activities for intermediate to advanced students. 1. Write a process paragraph (how to...) to describe one of the activities. Write an opening sentence that introduces the topic. Add four or five supporting sentences that start with transition words. Write a closing sentence that sums up the process. 2. Give an oral presentation about one of the activities. Write the necessary details in proper sequence - give a copy to your instructor. Choose one person to introduce you and another to thank you. The class can ask questions about the procedure.

3. Choose one of the six-frame picture stories and describe how you would do the activity differently. e.g., If I were cooking breakfast, I would poach the eggs. I would have hot cereal instead of cold cereal. I would pour cream on the cereal instead of milk. I would have freshly squeezed orange juice, not concentrated juice. If I were having toast, I would spread strawberry jam on each piece. I would put the cereal box in the cupboard and the cream carton in the refrigerator before I started to eat my breakfast because I am a very neat person. 4. Choose one of the picture-frame stories and write about each frame using the simple past verb tense and some adverbs and adjectives. e.g., He woke up reluctantly at seven a.m. He stretched and yawned lazily. Next he treated himself to a leisurely shower with warm water and scented soap. Then he got dressed in a freshly laundered shirt. After he had buttoned up the shirt, he combed his thick, black hair carefully. He did not shave because he is letting his beard grow longer. When he had finished cleaning and flossing his teeth thoroughly, he was ready to enjoy his breakfast. His eggs and toast tasted good, but his coffee tasted great! 5. Choose one of the picture-frame stories and write about each frame using the simple present passive construction. e.g., Two slices of fresh bread are taken out of the bag and placed on a plate. Next, mayonnaise is liberally spread on one slice. Then mustard is evenly spread on the other slice. After that, four or five slices of cold meat are placed on the bread. A cheese slice is added to top it off. The delicious sandwich is quickly devoured. It isn't even cut in half! 6. Practise using indirect question formation. Choose one of the stories and write an indirect question about the activity. e.g., I wonder why the father and child are carrying a long, heavy board. I'd like to know why the father is sawing it into pieces. I really need to find out why he is drilling a large hole in the board. I 'm trying to figure out how they created a birdhouse so quickly. Can you tell me what colour the child is painting the birdhouse? I am interested in knowing what kind of birds will live in the birdhouse. I will ask whether he fell off the ladder because it doesn't look very steady to me! 7. Each six-frame story shows a different activity. Choose one frame and tell why you would never do that activity. e.g., I would never go on a picnic because: a) I don't like sitting on the hard ground on a blanket. b) I prefer to eat inside at a table. c) I don't like insects and they always want to share the food at picnics. d) I don't like packing lunches. e) I think picnics are boring. f) It might rain. 8. Choose one of the stories and pretend that you were doing the activity. Everything went wrong. e.g., I decided to return my books to the library. I forgot to take them with me. I was hurrying home when I fell and scraped my knee. I arrived home and discovered that I was locked out. I climbed through a window, but ended up breaking the glass and cutting my finger. I bandaged my wounds, gathered up my books and ran back to the library. Unfortunately, it was closed for the day. I said words that I didn't learn in ESL class! 9. Choose a few of the stories and write descriptions of the people or things. Use as many adjectives as you can. e.g., a smiling, friendly librarian; a bearded, curly-haired man; a large, interesting variety of books; a user-friendly, functioning computer; a clearly-printed, personalized library card; a fascinating, successful book search. 10. As you look at the activities in the picture stories, you can see several verb-preposition combinations with the preposition “up.” Make sentences using the phrases. See if some are separa-ble. Decide whether the “up” is always needed. e.g., He folded the clothes up - or - He folded up the

clothes - or - He folded them up - or - He folded the clothes. He climbed up the ladder. She hung up the clothes. He opened up the dryer. Other “up” phrases in the pictures: cut up, pick up, pack up, pop up, eat up, do up, get up, drink up, pile up, put up, button up, finish up, mix up, stir up and lather up.
