March Week Four

​Hey everybody!  It was great to see you guys online this week, for a lot of us we can use our classes as a little piece of normalcy and an excuse to talk about something other than COVID 19 for an hour a week!  What a relief!

This week we played games together and talked about the value of play and games in our lives, both as children and as adults.

Listening:
Learners can try an activity from BBC 6 minute English about if gaming can be considered a sport.  For something a little harder (C1 level), try a listening exercise about boardgames.

For original version, try watching a TED Talk about Play or about gaming.

Reading:
First off, learners can do a reading comprehension articles about how video games are good for you.

For original version reading, try an article from the New Yorker called The Unexpected Philosophical Depths of the Clicker Game Universal Paperclips or a humorous text called Naturally Occurring Escape Rooms.

Writing:
This week you have a couple options for writing.  You could write an essay detailing the importance of play.  Or write the rule for a game you love or used to love as a child!
Best,
Kelly
