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.

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!

When I was thirteen, my biggest concern was to minimize amount of time studying, so that I could play computer games and watch tv.
In this episode, Gary talks to a slime entrepreneur, Maddie Rae. She’s 13yo and she probably makes more money, than you and I put together, doing something she loves.
Selling Slime!!!
Check it out!
btw. Gary doesn’t curse as much as usually 🙂

What does being famous mean nowadays?
The Backpack Kid got famous by postng a video on Instagram. Overnight, he became a celebrity and a digital influencer.
Watch this 15yo meeting Gary Vee and having chips…
Level: B2 and up.
Would you like to make a couple hundred $$$ extra?
Do you think your students would be interested in learning how to make $100 in 2-3 hours on Saturday morning?
Gary goes garage sale-ing and makes a pretty good show on the way. Filled with informal, real life language, proverbs, idioms, phrasal verbs etc.
Authentic Interest + Authentic language = Perfect Lesson!!!
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.
I knew that it was going to happen eventually. Gary Vaynerchuk is a great speaker and a fantastic source of content for ESL classes but, there are so many other speakers that limiting myself only to Gary felt wrong.
When I saw Ewa Błaszczak, my homie from Warsaw, Poland, giving a Tedx Talk about sarcasm, I knew that I will want to use it in my classes and share with you guys. Very interesting topic, some advanced vocabulary but also a bit of accent and pronunciation issues.
Great content for self study and those upper-intermediate classes. Have fun and… put an END to sarcasm.

Product executive from Chase Business Banking, Brent Reinhard and Gary Vaynerchuk talk to small business owners about financing, social media and other challanges of running a family business.
The episode is pretty long so I decided to use only the first 25 minutes of the show.
Who knows maybe some day I’ll make a worksheet for the second part either 😉
Level: B2 and up
Can hustling make you rich?
Can having 10000 followers make you rich?
Can being a ‘big fish in a small pond’ make you rich?
The video was recorded in 2014 so it’s well-aged, but surprisingly crisp and up-to-date. The video and worksheet are going to make a really decent listening lesson with quite a bit of discussion.
Level: C1 and up
That’s a tough one.
Gary’s employees asking him questions and multiple T/F answers.
Be careful! This worksheet is harder than it seems. I don’t know whether it’s the amount of business and sports or the language and speed that they speak at? It’s just HARD to get the answers right.
But the discussion on fantasy sports is going to make it up to you.
Have fun.
don't overthink shit
