If you think videogames can be helpful in our ELT lessons, this is a site for you!

Channel 4 brings us this interesting adventure based on the real Bow Street Runners created to fight crime and control the streets of London during the 18th century. Pick objects, talk to people and investigate in order to solve the crimes in the story. Being a free online game as it is, the quality is extremely rich. Advanced students will have a good time as they roam through the muddy streets trying to solve the mystery.

The Story of Stuff

If you think we must use our classrooms to spread the idea of a different approach towards our environment, have a look at this site

 The Story of Stuff is basically a 20-minute videoclip where Annie Leonard shows how we are deteriorating our planet. Clear animations and a very good narrative for a cross-curricular approach. The only drawback is the absence of transcript. It shows the process of overuse of our natural resources, their transformation into products and their latter change into pure rubbish which increasingly fills our planet. Specially adequate for advanced/Batxillerat students.
