Resources for Teachers of English

I am a TEFL teacher and Peace Corps Volunteer in Ukraine. I've been teaching here for two years and I've compiled a lot of lesson plans and activities that are currently piled up on the windowsill in my living room. I think it's finally time to organize my teacher brain and share some ideas with other teacher brains that might benefit from some of the lessons that have been successful in my classes.

I'll try to upload lessons as soon as possible. Some of them were created by yours truly, but I should say that a lot of them were made possible with the great help of online resources. I will try to credit them when possible, but I do a lot of planning and sometimes I forget to jot down where the games come from. Below are the sites that I mainly frequent for resources. I'd like to thank all of the dedicated teachers who have shared their wonderful ideas and activities online.
