Prepositions of time - in, on, at (mind map)

This topic always causes doubts.
I've just found this wonderful mind map on  http://www.engames.eu/ and couldn't resist sharing it. 
I'll be posting some more because they are really great especially for visual students whose memories rely mostly on images!

Test on: Family - 5th grade (with Miley Cyrus)


Here you go,
A test for the 5th grade about family words with The Simpsons and Miley Cyrus as the "Characters".
It's a five page test and the main targets are:
  • family words
  • in/on - prepositions of time
  • Possessive adjectives - my, your, his ...
The students really enjoyed the fact that the test contemplated Miley Cyrus. The week I gave this test was the same week of Miley's concert in Portugal so the impact was even bigger. I do advise you to try to add something about your students’ idols when preparing a test or worksheet. It somehow breaks a bit their anxiety towards the task.

English test - daily routine - 6th grade

The last days of the first term were quite troubling for me. Suddenly I was surrounded by papers I’d never seen before and asked to do tasks I hardly knew how. Luckily it went out well. I did all the paper work and now I know how to deal with all that. Evaluations, reports… Well, by the time I would get home I’d be so tired that the last thing I wanted was to sit by the computer again…

I had some days to rest. I spent Christmas with my family (as I think it’s supposed to be) and now I’m back home again.


I came to the conclusion that I forgot to post my last 6th grade test. I’ll post it now.
It’s about daily routine, adverbs of frequency, prepositions of time and telling time.
I had very good results on this test. I was actually surprised because I thought it was a bit demanding. My students went really well in general.
Here it is:

Santa's daily routine



Next week I’ll be giving a test on daily routine to my 6th grade students.
In order to prepare them better for the test I’ve created this worksheet about Santa’s daily routine.


I must admit that this text was a bit complicated for them, but that was my point. I wanted them to feel some difficulties so that they are more alert when they study for the test.
The worksheet has got some questions about the text, one exercise on adverbs of frequency and another one about telling the time.


The last part is a chart with time prepositions which I hope they’ll study. (The chart is not mine; I took it from (http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/grammar/preposition_time.htm )
