Use past simple and/or past continuous to fill in the sentences all along the video.

Favorite TV Program Or Nothing -  Past Simple vs. Past Continuous

There are 10 tricky grammar exercises focusing on the differences of active and passive voice. Active and passive voice sentences are mixed, featuring 13 higher level verbs. All the sentences are derived from the content of the video. The wrong sentences are either grammatically incorrect or are grammatical but don't make sense (don't add up logically). Therefore, to make the right choice, students not only have to filter out ungrammatical options, but also interpret what has been said in the video, while getting right the usage of the advanced verbs in the exercise. This triple cognitive task is what makes this exercise challenging for B1-B2 level students. 

Although the scientific theories are explained in plain language in the video, I would not recommend it below high school level. As for the language proficiency level, this lesson is most suitable for B2-C1 level.

Why We Dream - Passive or Active Voice

8 gapfill questions where the students need to fill in various prepositions of place into the gaps: in front of, outside, in, under, opposite, next to, above, on top of.

1. Why is the nest up there?
2. Where is the mother of the little pigeons?
3. What will their mother bring for the little ones when she comes back?
4. Where are the pigeons going?
5. What do the pigeons want?

7. What are they planning to do?

It was founded by the Romans, who named it Londinium.[9] London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its 1.12-square-mile (2.9 km2) medieval boundaries. Since at least the 19th century, "London" has also referred to the metropolis around this core, historically split between Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent and Hertfordshire,[10][11][12] which today largely makes up Greater London,[13][14][note 1] a region governed by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly
Listen to the video fron you tube and do the exercisesondon is a leading global city[17][18] in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism and transportation.[19][20][21] It is the world's largest financial centre[22][23][24][25] and has the fifth or sixth largest metropolitan area GDP in the world.[note 3][26][27] London is often regarded as a world cultural capital.[28][29][30] It is the world's most-visited city as measured by international arrivals[31] and has the world's largest city airport system measured by passenger traffic.[32] It is the world's leading investment destination,[33][34][35][36] hosting more international retailers[37][38] and ultra high-net-worth individuals[39][40] than any other city. London's universities form the largest concentration of higher education institutes in Europe.[41] In 2012, London became the first city to have hosted the modern Summer Olympic Games three times.[42]

London has a diverse range of people and cultures, and more than 300 languages are spoken in the region.[43] Its estimated mid-2016 municipal population (corresponding to Greater London) was 8,787,892,[3] the largest of any city in the European Union[44] and accounting for 13.4% of the UK population.[45] London's urban area is the second most populous in the EU, after Paris, with 9,787,426 inhabitants at the 2011 census.[46] The city's metropolitan area is the most populous in the EU with 14,040,163 inhabitants in 2016,[note 4][2] while the Greater London Authority states the population of the city-region (covering a large part of the south east) as 22.7 million.[47][48] London was the world's most populous city from around 1831 to 1925.[49]

London contains four World Heritage Sites: the Tower of London; Kew Gardens; the site comprising the Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey, and St Margaret's Church; and the historic settlement of Greenwich (in which the Royal Observatory, Greenwich defines the Prime Meridian, 0° longitude, and GMT).[50] Other landmarks include Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square and The Shard. London is home to numerous museums, galleries, libraries, sporting events and other cultural institutions, including the British Museum, National Gallery, Natural History Museum, Tate Modern, British Library and West End theatres.[51] The London Underground is the oldest underground railway network in the world.

"Deuspi" is a silent film without any language  spoken, so we will be exploiting the visuals in this lesson by getting students to create their original sentences in English to describe what they have just seen.

There are 8 open-ended questions in the video quiz with example solutions provided. If your students are doing this for homework, they can self-correct using the example solutions (by comparing their own answer to the sample answer they can choose whether to award themselves a point or not).
