Protesting

Protesting

a Talking Points lesson for English reading, speaking, vocabulary and writing

This is part of the Talking Points 3 lesson series for Intermediate to Advanced students.

It seems like everyone has something to protest about these days…

In many cities of the world, there is a protest every weekend about one cause or another.

But why do people protest so much? Do these protests achieve anything?

This lesson plan covers the idea of protesting. Many of your students may feel very passionate about protesting. While others may see it as a total waste of time.

Either way, this should make for great discussion in your English class.

Your students will find this topic highly engaging and all the exercises will be great fun for them. It should definitely create much debate and talking time in your English or ESL class.

The lesson comes complete with:

• Reading Exercise
• Reading Comprehension Questions
• Essential Vocabulary
• Discussion Questions
• Why Protest Against This? – a look at some typical things people protest about
• Debate: To Protest or Not Protest?
• Writing Exercise

Start the class with the three opening questions and then do the reading.

Follow that with the reading comprehension questions.

Then you can go through all the vocabulary – or set it as homework for the students to do later.

Then there is a big list of questions that are designed to get your students talking.

After that, you can do all the other exercises in whatever order you wish.

It comes in easy to use PDF format, ideal for printing for your needs. Use it again and again for your English/ESL classes.
