Copyright Notice Copyright © 2006 Canadian Resources for ESL All rights reserved 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. 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 [email protected] 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.

Exercise 4 – Speaking Practice: Pass It On Directions to Teacher: Divide the class into large groups (5 or more). Set students up in rows that lead in the direction of the chalkboard. Have one student from each group leave the classroom with you. You are to tell the students outside of the classroom a phrase using words from the word list (see examples of phrases below). The students are to run back into the classroom and whisper the phrase to the next student in their group. The phrase is to be spoken to each person in the row/group. The last person to hear the phrase writes it on the board correctly. The first group to do so is the winner. To add more challenge, give each of the students who are outside of the classroom a different phrase. You will not have to worry about students over-hearing other groups speaking the phrase. Examples of Phrases: My brother is a police officer.

My father likes to eat chicken.

My aunt has ten kids.

My niece is in college.

My nephew speaks Hungarian.

My cousin has a boat.

My grandfather is a pilot.
