B - To tell students to keep working at their computer with some offline activities.

These activities can also be done online with students coming here and downloading the documents to their computers.
You can also download these activities and save them in your pen drive or computer. Then you can project them on the screen.

Do you know a program called TICK ? Many years ago I used it with my students and I think it is a brilliant choice for them working offline. Get it here , install it and try it and moreover , tell students to install it in their laptops. This way when there is no Internet , they can still work at the computer and test their English. If you use this program let me know and I will send you typed tests that I have created using the same questions as in the program.
Watch this tutorial video for full information about this software.

Watch this video review of this website called Englishteststore. Here you can download interactive tests for your students. They can run these tests in their computers or you can run them on the screen in the class. All the tests are provided for personal and school use only.

Here you will find activities that are Word documents. For students to complete these activities offline , you will need to download these documents and save them in your computer in the classroom. You will need to make the access of students to these activities possible. Talk to the ICT coordinator in your school to include these activities in the Moodle or Intranet or a shared network. I have not included the answer key to the activities here. You will need to ask me for the answer key as I don' t want students to find it here.
