Ive been teaching primary school in China for a few months now, and I think I've got a pretty good handle on it. But last week I was informed that I would be teaching a class of high school students on Saturdays, and there is no curriculum. Basically I am CLUELESS about what to teach them. I have never taught a group whose English is this advanced before. The school wants me to create a Powerpoint show on a topic of my choice to discuss every week. My first one is about travel and famous places in the United States. My question to you all is, what do high schoolers like to talk about? What kinds of games/activities work well with them? What are they interested in?
Here are some specifics about my situation: the students' English level is fairly high (they can have a decent conversation with you). There are 36 students, and I have them for 2 40-minute periods every Saturday. I need activities that require little or no physical materials, because at this point the only things I have access to are the Internet, pencils and paper and MAYBE some markers if I get lucky. No printing, copying or laminating, no poster-board or anything like that.
I realize this is a broad question, but I like to be over-prepared and anything you can give me would be great. Thanks
