ACTIVITIES

The worksheet starts with an activity in which students have to define the term ‘net-zero emissions retrofitting’. There are also some phrases that they can use to create a definition. After that, students move on to a vocabulary exercise. They have to read the sentences with tips on achieving net-zero emissions for their homes and find three words that are in the wrong places. Then, they read some common energy-related problems and match them to the tips. In the discussion part of the lesson, students talk about the energy problems from the previous task and say whether they can relate to them and what their solutions are. They also discuss some questions related to the topic of retrofitting and the article.

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).
