Craziest Easter Traditions

Level A2 and up Time: 45-60 min

I fell in love with having my students work with ‘not so perfect’ language. Here is a piece form a Slovakian-Austrian couple Simi and Danny. Their accents are form perfect. They use the wrong words and grammar sometimes. Well… Who cares. The message gets across. I use this kind of content during my classes to invite my students to not be afraid to make mistakes.

The video is also a great starting point for a conversation about gender roles. If your students are interested, you can continue the topic with this lesson: https://englishvee.com/2020/05/05/the-gender-tag/

DESPITE being born without any sex organs, an 18-year-old girl remains confident about dating. Jyoti was born ‘intersex’ – something she defines as ‘not having the typical binary sex organs or parts’.

Jyoti started to develop as a boy in utero for around 12 weeks before the process suddenly stopped – since then, she has identified as female and has taken oestrogen since her early teens.

Residing in Hopkins, Minnesota, Jyoti has never let her condition hold her back – recently graduating from high school and attending college in the summer, she is now regularly dating.

This story is a great follow up to classes on plastic suergeries, genetic screening and/or abortion.
