That's English! Module 5 - unit 1: Globalization

This is the plan for the lesson we'll have at school. I'll try to use the blog to show students who can't attend classes what we do in class. When you come to class, you should have seen the topic/the lesson before so you can work on what you have studied before. 

The structure of the class is:

Conversation Starters

Some people say the world is becoming a kind of "global village". Discuss with your partner about this idea of globalization, starting with the questions below:

1. What products do you use that were not made in your country?
2. What movies, songs or books do you enjoy that were not produced in your country?
3. Can you think of other ways that globalization has affected your life?
4. Generally speaking, do you think globalization has improved people's lives?
5. What has your country contributed to globalization?
Discussion Questions

Now try to have longer English conversations using these "open-ended" questions about globalization. It's not an easy topic, but do your best!

1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of globalization?
2. What do you think globalization will be like in fifty years?
3. Do you think globalization will make us be all the same in the future? Why/why not?
4. Which countries might like or hate globalization the most, poor countries or developed countries? Give reasons for your answer.
5. How important is the Internet in globalization? Try to name positive and negative aspects of the internet regarding globalization.
Now let's practise listening with some videos on the internet:
Here you have exercises to practise grammar:
To finish with, remember to bring your weekly composition to practise with writing. Choose one of the suggestions you have in the lesson.

See you in class!
