Bullying, Boxes and Billionaires
This month's resources seek
to educate, inspire and inform.  The
Pre-Intermediate Instant Lesson 'Thinking
Outside The Box' looks at a simple but very effective
invention, a solar powered cooker, that could improve the
lives of billions of people. A Norwegian inventor has come
up with a cardboard box cooker that only costs $6 to produce.
Students are asked to come up with their own ideas for inventions
to help humanity.
Bullying remains a problem for many schools but the latest form of
bullying, cyberbullying, is a 24-hour-a-day problem. "With electronic
forms of bullying there is no refuge. It is 24/7. It is
always online. Even if you turn off your
computer you know that web page is up, or that people are spreading
this rumor about you. The relentlessness of it is very psychologically
devastating." (Upper-Intermediate
Instant Lesson: 'Under Attack')
Learn more about cyberbullying, how to deal with it and also enter our 'Tips To Stop Bullying' Competition
(see below for details).
Warren Buffet, the second richest man in the world, plays bridge with
Bill Gates, drinks five cans of Cherry Coke a day, plays the ukulele
and and
talks to students about business. Elementary students can practice
reading personal information about someone, using the present simple
tense and asking and answering questions. (Elementary Instant
Lesson: 'Are You A Billionaire?')

This month's Point of Interest is from 'Under
Attack', an Upper Intermediate Instant Lesson
on cyberbullying.
 'Halligan encourages bystanders,
students who are aware of cyberbullying and choose
to do nothing, to use the power of peer pressure
to stop it.
His message to parents is to speak to their children.
"Make sure you turn that computer off, often, and have a sit-down
conversation about what is going on in their lives. Create as much
opportunity as you can to allow them to express their feelings and what
they might be going through."'Thomson Reuters 2009
