Tuesday

Today we will focus on the topic of social media and relationships. We will do some conversation and listening tasks, and also learn new vocabulary. 

First we will work in small groups to discuss these questions:

  1. What social media apps do you use, and how do you use them?
  2. How do you think social media has changed the way we communicate with friends and family? Do you believe these changes are mostly positive or negative?
  3. In what ways do you think social media influences how people perceive themselves and their identities? Do you think this influence is beneficial or harmful?

We will watch a video about FOMO and discuss what it is and how to fight it. Students will then complete listening exercise exercise 6 on page 15.

We will finish the class with a Kahoot to learn some idioms and vocabulary connected to relationships.
