There's a lot of runnning around the most adequate material in class preparation. We should remember that we can only search for second best - if lucky - for the very best material will always be provided by the students themselves.
All it takes is listen to their stories, call for their opinions, ask them to explain their thoughts. Once we've managed that, addaptation is the only thing that's left. By working with real material (the one that comes from the students), all we need is to direct them into using the new vocabulary or the grammar point that is being taught. And the results are really striking. They will remember everything more easily and participate on the debates much more actively.
