The credit crunch: a topical lesson

Under 3 euros? Guess I'll not be going out tonight!

Here's one that came to me via an rss feed from the language assistant site which is part of what has to be the best ELT site, teachingenglish.org.uk...

The lesson "takes a light hearted look at the economic crisis, or ‘credit crunch' as it's often refered to in the UK", with downloadable classroom materials, tasks and activities, plus links to the useful archive of material on the Essential UK archive.

You'll want to pick n'mix as to which bits are going to suit your actual class best, but there's lots of good, topical ideas there, which is not always the case with coursebook materials.
