Unlock the Life-Changing Power of Gratitude in Your Classroom!
Move beyond simple “thank yous” and equip your students with a skill that boosts happiness, strengthens relationships, and reduces stress. This immersive 90-minute lesson plan for Intermediate (B1-B2) learners isn’t just a language lesson – it’s a wellness workshop for the English classroom.
Inspired by Marlena Frank’s powerful TEDx Talk exercise, this lesson kicks off with a captivating challenge that gets students actively expressing gratitude right in the middle of class. They won’t just learn about gratitude; they’ll experience its immediate, joyful impact firsthand.
What’s Inside?
- Engaging Video & Text: A dynamic TEDx Talk and a supportive reading text provide multiple perspectives on the science and benefits of gratitude.
- Authentic Discussion: Thought-provoking questions guide students from personal reflection to deeper philosophical debate.
- Practical Language Focus: Students master high-value collocations like express gratitude, build trust, reduce stress, show appreciation, supportive network, and positive impact to make their English sound more natural and powerful.
- Real-World Application: The lesson culminates in a “freer practice” session where students seamlessly use new vocabulary to discuss habits, mental health, and personal connections.
Give your students the tools to build a more positive outlook and stronger language skills. This is more than a lesson – it’s a gift that keeps on giving.
