After teaching at the same high school for 2 years and having just signed my 3rd contract im scared because I honestly dont know im going to teach these kids~ For the past 2 years Ive made my own lessons from  scratch and covered literally all the topics I could possibly think of~ I've over recycled some of the themes and even im getting bored with it~ My co teachers refuse to use any textbooks for my class and they also dont help with any preparation at all~

Sometimes it feels like they think im a factory that should be producing fun lessons all the time.. What doesnt help is that my students are mostly low leveled and there attention spans are so low!!!

Ive used everything I could find on Waygook~ Does anyone have any advice for me please~
I really have no clue to suck my next theme/topic out of!!

I like the idea of project lessons (though I don't know I could do it with my large class sizes). Have you considered going out looking for a textbook you could use? I recently found a few textbooks from the back of my class that I may glean some random activities from. If you're on your third year shouldn't you be getting at least one batch of kids who've yet to see any of your lessons? I have a few stock lessons I've pulled out on all the first year classes at some time or other. Best of luck, understandably frustrating. I have the same restrictions and it sucks!

What worked for me was a lot of project based learning.

Me too, for definite!

An advertising project based lesson could take 4 classes, if you break it into analysis, speaking & listening, making an advertisement, and giving presentations.

Likewise, a travel project could be 3 lessons if it was based on Introducing world attractions, having the students make a dream itinerary (with a given budget) and having a small talk lesson on how their fictional holiday went and/or making postcards from their 'holiday'.

Also you could do project-based stuff on Opinions, Environment, Music and Culture. I usually take 3-4 lessons on each topic. More fun for me too, as I get to see what the students come up with, instead of just showing them lots of random ppts and asking them to do aimless role-plays (which was what i mostly did last year)

I too am a first grade, high school, speaking teacher with no textbook.
My most successful lesson to date is called "My dream house" Unfortunately it is not friendly for uploading at the moment, but I'll work on it. In short, this lesson takes 3 class periods, which are 50 minutes each in length.
This lesson could be adapted and customized to your liking but this is a brief outline and the kids love it!
1st class.
    .Ask students to list the different kinds of homes/houses they know of.
    . Ask students to list all the different rooms that can be found in homes/houses, even extravagant ones.
   . Create a ppt which includes a video of an MTV Cribs episode from America which shows tours inside celebrity homes.
    . Also in the ppt include different pictures of different homes and rooms.
   . Also in the ppt include floor plans, of homes/houses of one story homes, two-story homes, mansions.....
    Towards the end of class give the students 15 minutes to brainstorm and begin sketching their either 3D or 2D houses on large art sized paper that you provide.

2nd class.
    . Quick review of expectations
    . Students draw and COLOR and LABEL all rooms covered in the powerpoint that they decide to include in their "dream house"
3rd class.
    . I prepared a sentence structure of "In my dream house I have _____,____________,_________, and ______. " Each student comes to the front of class and reads aloud their list of rooms in the proper sentence structure. I had 20 students per class and it took about 40 minutes for all of them to do this.

This lesson sounds amazing! I teach at a girls' high school and I think that they would love this as they are quite high-level students as well. I like the freedom of creativity that this lesson invokes. Could you please try to upload the ppt.  :)

Teaching how to describe people in detail is a good project that can be stretched out rather well. I've been doing that recently and it works and is fun.
