| What are worksheets?
Worksheets can be a great help to the teacher in organising oral activities in pairs and small groups, and also for simple reading and writing tasks. A worksheet is an exercise on a sheet of paper which can be given out to a class and collected in again at the end of the lesson so they can be used again. The paper can be stuck onto pieces of card so that they last longer and can be stored easily.

Worksheets will allow you to create exercises for your class that you think will be useful. They also allow you to adapt exercises in your textbook to better suit the needs of your class.
