Sorry... if you submitted a post and have been wondering where on earth and when on earth it'd be posted - really many, many, many apologies for taking so long to put the lesson carnival together... it has been very busy round Kalinago's way: presentations, conferences, computer-crash, eeee....
Anyway, thing was... see, you wouldn't believe the quantity and quality of absolute creativity, inspiration and sheer brilliance which exists out there in the blogosphere - your peers, well they have some mean ideas and put together challenging and dynamic lessons for our students... and the first version of this blog post and carnival was well, it kind of resembled one of those supplementary activity books - you know, all dry methodological facts and information in orderly boxes and it dully ran on for a whole eight pages, completely bypassing all the energy put in by my fellow ELT blogging teachers.
So I went stop.
I had to respond in kind...
So I put together a Prezi - (and um, had to learn how to put together a Prezi)... and it's below.
To use it, click through in sequence from blogger to post or randomly select wherever you want to go, midstream. Whenever you see a lesson you'd like to do with your students or you'd like to zoom in to something in particular, scroll in/out with your mouse and whenever you want to get on over to a specific post mentioned on the canvas, click on the links near red arrows... You can also download it onto your own desktop or embed it within any community website to click to the links from there.
Have fun and enjoy this roller-coaster ride through the ELT blogosphere!
