The ESL class starts with a relevant, fun vocabulary exercise before moving onto an awesome reading task. During this reading activity, students will be able to specifically learn about the details of each generation before applying this knowledge to a series of questions.
There is also an excellent discussion task which focuses on the themes presented in the video. Our favourite task is “Generations: Case Studies” as this activity encourages students to produce the new language naturally by reading different profiles.
