May Week Four

May Week Four:
This week we used Time magazine's list of the world's most influential people to talk about celebrities, artists, scientists and other notable people from around the world.

Listening:
Learners can try an easy activity called Meeting Famous People. For something a little more difficult try an activity from the British Council about Ariana Grande.

For original version, check out any of the celebrity interviews over at Stephen Colbert's youtube channel, or the Mark Maron's podcast WTF.

Reading:
Learners can choose from an of the many listening exercises from Famous People Lessons. 

For original version check out the compilation from the Guardian titled the Greatest Interviews of all time.

Writing:
Please write an article detailing the life and influence of one individual.  It could be someone famous -- a musician, a thinker, an artist, an actor -- or someone who has had great influence on you but is not a celebrity.
Best,
Kelly
