Boys don’t cry.

Level: C1 and up Time: 90 min

This lesson is inspired by the situation that took place during 2022 Football World Cup in Quatar. Robert Lewandowski was reduced to tears after scoring a goal in 2022 World Cup against Saudi Arabia.

Crying men still fall outside the traditional male stereotype, and are often met with confusion, weird looks and sometimes even ridiculed.

Consider the consequences

Level: B1 and up Time: 60-75 min

Is your child headed down the wrong road? Hanging out with the wrong crowd? Being disrespectful or doing drugs? If so, the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office may be able to help.

The department’s Consider the Consequences Program helps kids ages 10 to 16-years-old stay in school, graduate and begin a successful career.

This video was inspired by my SS who told me about the true crime genre. I couldn’t believe it, when I first saw it, but as of 2022 the program is still on.

The southern accent, the vocabulary and the topic made it a great material for our class. However…

(Warning!!!) Some of the scenes in the video are very intense. I don’t recommend it for SS younger than 15-16yo.
