30 minCritical Reading ClubUnlimited Plan

This is a Critical Reading Club worksheet. With this format, students need to read an online article at home and do the exercises in the classroom. Learn more about how to use such worksheets and their benefits in our post.

ACTIVITIES

At the beginning of the lesson students list advantages and disadvantages of living forever. The teacher can use this task to hold a longer debate. After that, students read pairs of phrases and discuss their differences (e.g. forthcoming feature and inevitable feature). Then, students read a set of ideas about the issues mentioned in the article and match the opposing ones. They also discuss which of the statements in each pair they agree more and why. Finally, students discuss questions about the article they read at home. The questions also cover the topics of the metaverse, NFTs, data collection, etc.

    Thank you! I love lessons on technology! There’s a Black Mirror episode about this topic: “Be right back”.
    Looking forward to more C1 and C2 lessons =)

      Hi Veronica! Thanks for the comment! If someone’s interested in tech, Black Mirror is a very interesting series and I think the one that you remember for longer because of the dystopian future shown there. IMHO worth watching 🙂

Questions

Title separator

Is there a minimum subscription period if I choose a monthly subscription?

No, there's no minimum required number of subscription months. You can cancel any time you want. Basically, you can sign up and then cancel your subscription the next day, which will mean you have access for 1 month and won't be charged again.

What currencies can I pay in for my subscription?

Our default currency is USD (American dollar), but you can also pay in EUR (euro), GBP (British pound sterling) or PLN (Polish zloty). You can change the currency you want to pay in at the Pricing page before selecting a subscription plan.

How can I edit an e-lesson plan?

You can get your own editable copy of an e-lesson plan and make changes to it. To do so, either (1) make a copy of it on your Google Drive (preferable method) or (2) download it in a Powerpoint format (but formatting might be a bit off so we can’t guarantee that it will work well).
