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

First, students talk about different age groups: infant, toddler, school-aged and teenager. They discuss what difficulties each of the age groups poses for parents and which group is the easiest to teach. Then, students do a vocabulary activity in which they need to come up with suitable words for each gap to create collocations related to the article they read at home (e.g. turn to bribery, meet expectations, explore emotions). Finally, students talk about the tips from the article, they discuss whether advice on raising children should depend on the times we live in. They also brainstorm possible reactions to a child’s challenging behaviour.

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).
