HERE’S a little something that teachers and students can indulge in while browsing the internet:
Word power
If your English grammar textbook is making your head spin with all the rules, here is one place where you can actually put some of them in practice. Not only that but you can also indulge in reading comprehensions, learn the meanings of several idioms and spruce up your spelling skills. There are sections for pronunciation and vocabulary too. The only catch is that some of the worksheets are available for a fee. But why not make the most of those that aren’t?

Poetic justice
When it comes to poetry, there are some who are interested in finding out everything that there is to know, and others who start yawning at the mere mention of the word. This website is dedicated to poems and poets which are arranged in different categories. Literature teachers can find loads of
classroom activities to make poetry more interesting and meaningful for students. www.poetryarchive.org
Mapping homework
The chances of you leaving your geography homework for the eleventh hour, only to realise at the last minute that you need an atlas are quite high, especially if you don’t like the subject too much. Well, look no further. Map Quest is a purpose-built search engine for maps. All you need to do is to enter the name of the country or latitude/longitude, if you know it. The result will give you an enlarged map of the country in question.
