If people are sufficiently worried, there’s much less to worry about.
But if noone is worried, that’s when you should worry.

Marketing and such.
Level: B1 and up
MLM, advertising, content marketing, product placement.
There are many ways in which companies promote their products and services. Some of them are effective, some are fun and some are neither.
Vocabulary and speaking material based on two videos regarding online reality show ‘Planet of the Apps’ which according to some is the very example of how you should not do marketing.
Two rather different points of view on one show. Watch, discuss, engage in critical thinking.
Digital Addiction
Level: B1 and up
Digital addiction is a real and growing problem and can take the form of smartphone addiction, social media addiction, or internet addiction.
Inspired by Gary’s idea of Disappearing December Trend I decided to make a worksheet that would work as kind of an intro to a month offline.

Is Snapchat dangerous?
Level: B2 and up
Nude pics of a teenage girl?
14 yo kid posing with a gun?
Ever wondered, how dangerous Snapchat really is?
Gary Vaynerchuk, TikTok influencer Baby Ariel and a little bit freaked out mom of two, trying to find the answer.
Great for teenage classes if you want hear their perspective, as well as for adults who are s… scared of what their kids are doing on-line.
Makeup Artist
Level: B1 and up
This worksheet is a made-to-measure lesson for one of my teenage students. She asked me to make a lesson about makeup. I don’t know much about the topic… but I promised to do my best.
I tried to google Gary Vaynerchuk cosmetics, Gary Vee makeup, etc. The only thing that kept popping up was the name… Bobbi Brown.
I had no idea, who Bobbi was. It turned out she is a professional makeup artist and the founder and ex-CCO of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, social media expert and a very inspiring person with a great sense of humor.
It was a pleasure to learn so much about Bobbi, her job and the beauty business.
Enjoy!

The Sleep Revolution
Level: B1+ and up.
Relevant topic is the key to a successful lesson. It’s often hard to find a subject that all students would be interested in.
There are very few things that we all have in common. That is why this video is such a great material for your class.
Each and every one of us needs to sleep. We have all had issues with how much we sleep. How much we need? How much sleep we would like to get? What’s the right time to go to bed?
Everyone has something to say about sleep.
Also!!! It’s a great starting point to a conversation on how unimportant perfect pronunciation is.
don't overthink shit
