Fact-Checking the Ozempic Hype – ESL Lesson Plan

ESL lesson on Ozempic and weight loss drugs exploring health claims and social media misinformation

Is Ozempic a miracle weight loss drug or a dangerous shortcut? TikTok and Twitter are flooded with success stories, but how much of what you see online is actually true?

This 90-minute lesson for B2-C1 students takes a critical look at the viral Ozempic trend. Using an engaging video from licensed physician Dr. Mike, students will separate medical facts from dangerous myths while developing essential language and critical thinking skills.

Students will learn to:

  • Analyse and fact-check health claims commonly found on social media
  • Use essential medical vocabulary including FDA, off-label, suppressant, titration, and GI issues
  • Distinguish between facts and myths about weight loss medications
  • Practise correlative conjunctions (either…or, neither…nor, both…and) in context
  • Participate in a doctor-patient role-play using target language

Perfect for teachers looking to bring real-world health literacy and critical media analysis into the English language classroom.
