Laura Candler hits on the nail when mention that "keeping kids motivated at this time of year is actually much easier than you might think." Children are more relaxed, communicative and "chatty" than at the begining of the school year, and it is a very good opportunity to do great and "constructive" things in language (ESL).

Most of the time teachers don't know how to do during this "end of school year term", in wich " Learning is still the name of the game".
You can have just an abstract of it in my blog and a link to the full article.

Many of them use Flash. So you will need to capture the image you want by taking a screen picture with the PrintScreen key, with Grab or Jing or whatever other program: as soon as you have the capture... just use your imagination!…
