Apologies for the very late FlashFriday sale. I was in Istanbul at the end of last week delivering training workshops on Creativity in ELT and ELT and the Sustainable Development Goals at Bilfen Schools on behalf of Oxford University Press, and after flying back have come down with a bad cold.

Excuses aside, this week’s FlashFriday sale is a collection of lesson plans based on short video clips. In these lessons, I try to use the video clips to develop students’ multimodal literacies as well as their English.

For the next 48 hours, you can get 50% off of any or all of these plans.

I hope you enjoy these video shorts plans. Using video in the classroom, and developing multimodal literacies, is something I and my students have always enjoyed doing together. I hope you can enjoy it too.

Kind regards
