Thanks for sharing your blog with me. You´ve created a lot of useful activities here and you have chosen topics like Eminem and Michael Phelps which are engaging to students. My question for you is how can you adapt the blog so that it is less like a workook? Perhaps you could include a listening activity, or links to a webquest. You´re off to a great start here.
