Level: B1 and up (first part great for Young Learners too)

During the Covid-19 quarantine I struggle every morning to get dressed. Why would I want to get changed? Pajamas seem absolutely fine for online classes.

Do other people, my students in particular, experience that too?

Start the class with a discussion:

Has the quarantine changed the way you dress? How?

Then let the fun begin. Imagine that the quarantine is over and you can go out tonight. Invite ss to run to their closets and get changed for:

• Movie theater
• Date
• Party in a club
• Wedding
• Other occasion of their choice

It’s gonna work best if you get changed too. Then let everyone talk about their outfits. Clothes vocabulary and second conditional will come handy for this lesson.

Next step is a video. TYT show on Paris Monroe also known as #TeacherBae

Monroe is an American teacher who gained a lot of attention by posting classroom photos on Instagram. It was followed by lots of discussion on appropriate dress code for teachers at school.

Before watching the video present and practice vocab here:

The hosts are Alonso Duralde, Kenny Hamilton and Grace Baldridge. What do they think about these issues?

• (00.00-02.30) Paris Monroe’s attire is appropriate for school.
• (02.30-03.40) Women know if their outfit attracts attention.
• (03.40-06.25) Attractive men are treated differently than attractive women.

Obviously let the ss express their own opinions on the issues above.
