I love to use picture sequence stories (where they have to put the pictures in order and then narrate the story) when i need to generate a new vocab list. You can find them online, or ask an ESL teacher. Whatever vocab they ask how to say becomes the new vocab list.

Hi all My 8th graders have just finished up talking about their routines and their daily lives. We've got 3 weeks until break and I am looking for some new vocab to introduce for conversations. Any ideas? They are in their second year of learning. Thanks!
