B2 / Upper Intermediate30 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

In the warm-up activity, students look at a statistic mentioned in the article and say what it has or has not surprised them. Then, they look at some statements and complete gaps in them with one word each. This way, students create some useful phrases (e.g. within one’s job description, go above and beyond, set boundaries). Then, they match the statements to five terms listed in the next task (e.g. hustle culture, quiet quitting, quiet firing). Students also discuss some questions related to the defined terms. For instance, they talk about their experience with the phenomena. Finally, students look at some comments and decide how they would respond to them. The comments refer to the issues covered in the article. Students are encouraged to use the phrases learned at the beginning of the lesson.

    I cannot access the article without signing up on their webpage. 🙁 Do you have any solution for this (apart from signing up)?

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).
