ACTIVITIES
As an introduction to the lesson students brainstorm factors that might affect our mental health. Next, they focus on a word cloud with words and phrases related to mental health. Students’ task is to analyse the vocabulary and find examples that fit into five specific categories (e.g. words for mental health problems: depression, anxiety). The vocabulary task is followed by a discussion about problems suffered by athletes. It also gives students the chance to express their thoughts on the topic of the article they read at home and relate it to their own experiences. As a final activity, they work in pairs and discuss how different public institutions can support people struggling with mental health issues.
