TOP TEN LISTS,
Volumes 1, 2 and 3

These decorative activity sheets may be printed out
and photocopied for student use. They're meant to
stimulate lively classroom discussions, as each student 
develops a personal "Top Ten" list for a given topic.
These sheets provide great fluency practice for teen
and adult TEFL students learning English. Several topics
are also suitable for use with younger school children.
Depending on the topic, these discussion sheets may
also be worked into many public school classes such as
literature, English, social studies, geography, history,
music, philosophy and science. They can even enhance
students' research skills and knowledge of subject areas
and encourage students of all ages to further develop
their speaking skills, logical thinking, debating skills,
writing abilities and more. Top Ten Lists come with a
suggestion list for getting the most out of them. Each
volume has five different topic discussion sheets, all
lovingly illustrated to make each new topic more
interesting and appealing, to stimulate student interest
and livelier debates.
