Adrenalin Lesson
B1 (Intermediate) level

Description

In this lesson, students will practice reading for specific information and correct factual mistakes in the context of skydiving. The lesson will start with a lead-in discussing adrenalin, followed by a gist reading of the text to figure out the best description of the author's attitude towards skydiving. Then, they will do reading for details and specific information of the same text and correct the factual mistakes about it. After that, an exercise about the vocabularies on the text will be provided to Ss. Finally, they will shortly discuss if they ever have done extreme sports, and will be asked to clarify their answers.
