Although educators outside of the United Kingdom will need to adapt some of the curricula from these excellent teacher resources, the lesson plans, activities, and articles on the Teaching Teens section of the British Council's TeachingEnglish site are well worth the effort. Readers may want to start with the Activities section, which boasts dozens of projects and learning tasks on subjects as diverse as mega-bridges and alien abduction. The Lesson Plans tab hosts equally helpful resources. For instance, the Mandela Day lesson plan aims to teach teens the benefits of working for others, and provides a history of famed South African leader, Nelson Mandela. Each lesson plan includes a brief description, allotted time, clear aims, and downloadable materials. This site is a welcome resource for educators of teens around the world.
