One of the great things about blogging is that reading someone else's post can inspire you, even if you end up doing something completely different with it.

Sandy Millin has a special blog designed just to inspire teachers, called

(Almost) Infinite Elt Ideas. http://infiniteeltideas.wordpress.com/

When I saw the video "The Holstee Manifesto" it seemed the perfect way to get my strongest students practicing different ways to express their opinions - there are lots of statements to agree or disagree with here!

Since the goal of this exercise is that they use these experessions in writing, I made a worksheet for the film.

You can find the film clip on Sandy's blog, on Youtube and on our class site, with my worksheet here:

Enjoy!
