Coronavirus - Global Solutions

Hey teachers,



I just recently posted this B2 Upper-Intermediate lesson plan to Fluentize.com, but I'd like to share it here as well. It's downloadable for free for 24 hours (from 4pm EST on February 10, 2020) on Fluentize when you register. This is just a .doc format of the oroginal lesson plan you can find on Fluentize. The lesson also goes more in depth in the original version on Fluentize, but there's a lot here you can work with.



Essentially, I wanted to draw up a lesson plan on the topic of the coronavirus due to all of the buzz circling around the recent outbreak. I really wanted to find a way to get students thinking, talking, and learning about the virus, and I found the perfect video to accompany the lesson. Especially with all of the information out there about the coronavirus, I felt it would be best to work with something concise but also reliable and informative. I also wanted to be careful not to get too deep into the science of it that students wouldn't be able to follow. I ended up finding the perfect video based on an informative news report from DW News.



On Fluentize, you can find the "mini-lesson" - something new that that we've been doing at Fluentize. A mini-lesson is basically just a more compact version of a full lesson (about half the total length of a full lesson plan). There is also our standard interactive lesson plan for teachers who have online lessons - these lessons come equipped with interactive fields for students to write within.



The lesson plan is definitely geared towards adults, but you could also use it with older teens. As you will see, the lesson plan contains a range of activities for speaking, listening, vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar, all based on the video topic content. There is a quiz and review section as well, with a bonus writing activity for students to write an evacuation order in the city where the outbreak first occurred. Anyway, I hope this gives you some good material to work with this week, and hope you all enjoy the lesson!
