NFT explained by a Kid

Level: B1 and up Time: 90 min

This lesson was designed for my teenage students but it will work with other age groups provided they don’t know much about the topic.

NFT has become a craze in the online market. NFT can be tied to any digital asset such as video clips, songs etc. You can turn pretty much any unique bundle of information into an NFT, but they’ve really taken off in the art world. A digital NFT picture was sold for over $58 million and an NFT tweet for $3 mln. There is a lot of controversy around NFTs regarding copyright, forgery and even natural environment issues. Which makes it a perfect topic for a lesson 😉

It took me a while to find the right material for this topic and I think that Handsome Blader has done better job than CNN, Bloomberg and CNBC put together!!!

You’ve got a slideshow, Answer Key and a quizlet with vocabulary flashcards if you decide that your SS need it: https://quizlet.com/_altjeo?x=1jqt&i=sje7e

School dress code

Level: B1 and up Time: 120 min

This one is going to work great with most classes from B1 up.

A dress code is a set of rules, often written, with regards to what clothing groups of people must wear. Dress codes are created out of social perceptions and norms, and vary based on purpose, circumstances, and occasions.

One of the places where dress code causes the most controversy are schools.

Uniforms, piercing, low cut shirts, tank tops etc… The lesson is a great opportunity to present/revise clothes vocabulary and involve SS in a lively discussion.

Look at teachers notes for lesson plan and answers to the presentation. The lesson involves quizlet vocabulary set.
