LESSON OVERVIEW

In this lesson, Ss plan a campaign. The lesson begins with Ss looking at news stories and learning vocabulary related to the environment. They then notice silent letters in these words and practise saying the words before learning more words related to the environment in the Vocabulary Bank. Next, Ss listen to a podcast on the topic of young people in the news. From this podcast they learn about and practise using reported speech. Ss then plan a campaign to make improvements to their town or city, explain it and report back on another group’s campaign. Finally, Ss write an online comment that includes a description of a problem and a possible solution.
