Critical 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

The lesson starts with a warm-up in which students think of three traits for people in different positions and professions (e.g. president/mayor, pharmacist, children’s books writer). Then, students create collocations (e.g. indispensable employee, vantage point, inherent capability, etc.) by matching the words. They practise the collocations and complete the statements with their ideas. Then, students compare their answers with a partner and agree or disagree with each other’s statements.

Next, students discuss some questions about adaptability as a must-have trait. They talk about enhancing adaptability and assessing it during job interviews. Finally, students answer questions about other personality traits (e.g.attention to detail, financial acumen, perseverance, resilience, etc.) and later on they discuss their line of work and talk about other positions and professions.

    Wonderful topic and article for advanced students. I used for workers. We ended up doing a role play with some students being venture capitalist and some being entrepreneurs.

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).
