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 activity in which students decide which of the three statements are true for them. The statements refer to shuffling and randomizing songs. Then, students look at ten verbs (e.g. conduct, convey, rehearse, sequence) and decide which four don’t collocate with the words album or track. They also explain the meanings of the four verbs. After that, students complete four sentences with the verbs from the previous exercise in the correct form. Finally, students discuss questions referring to the article they read at home and their opinions on the matter.

I like these articles but unfortunately now the video lessons are more sparse 🙁 I need presentations with video rather than reading, this is not very helpful.
Hi, Victoria. We still publish two video-based lessons a week, just like we used to before we kicked off with the article-based lesson plans. So check our website every Monday and Friday, or browse through the most recent materials here.
Yea I kind of think the same, the older style was great for my groups and individuals especially with business lessons but the topics are a little random and my students don’t have too much time to read outside of lessons. Any chance we could have a few like in the previous video format? Thanks 🙂
Hi! We still publish video-based lesson plans every Monday and Friday and will definetely keep on doing that. Plus, we do have quite a lot of business topics in the article-based lessons, e.g. the most recent about the gig economy. You can browse through them here
The articles we base our lessons on are relatively short, between a five and ten-minute read. So it’s not really that much work for students. It’s probably shorter than regular homework. And the topics we pick can spark a nice discussion in the lesson 🙂
