Your favorite magazine or newspaper might provide you with a rich source of a political / social cartoon that lends itself well to language instruction you are planning to teach. Another alternative is to use an online site devoted to such material.
You can spend 15 minutes a week to take an online tour of cartoon sites index and get inspired by suggested activities for elementary, middle, and high school students.

If you are teaching numbers , ask your students to note down the amounts they spend in each place over the weekend. On Saturday , have volunteers read out the amounts. This is good for basic level students who need to review numbers. You can have them total all expenses to practice reading larger

In the jigsaw form of instruction, the target material is divided, usually into four parts, and distributed to small groups to learn.When these homogeneous groups have mastered their material, students regroup into heterogeneous groups to present material and complete a task.
