Inspired by the official Vogue video and Good Morning America‘s interview with the cast of The Devil Wears Prada 2 as they discuss their return to the runway, this 90-minute lesson brings authentic Hollywood star power into your B1-B2 classroom. Twenty years after Miranda Priestly first taught us that power never has to raise her voice, students will watch Meryl Streep meet Anna Wintour, then dive into a candid cast interview about sequels, fashion, and growing older in the spotlight.
Students will:
- Watch and discuss a humorous Vogue video of Meryl Streep and Anna Wintour pretending not to know each other
- Identify key topics from a Good Morning America cast interview using a gist task
- Answer detailed comprehension questions about character changes, inspirations, and the film’s legacy
- Expand their vocabulary with words like timeless, unbreakable, surreptitiously, and expressions like slip into the role and cast a spell
- Engage in pair and group discussions about leadership, authenticity, power, and what makes a movie timeless
- Complete a creative extension activity analyzing a movie sequel of their own choice
Packed with authentic materials, cultural relevance, and plenty of “That’s all” energy, this lesson plan turns a Hollywood press tour into a meaningful learning experience your students won’t forget. Perfect for pop culture lovers, fashion fans, and anyone who has ever wondered what happens after the credits roll.
