In this dynamic B2 lesson, students dive into the significant impacts of human activities on the environment and imagine the future of humanity on Mars. The session begins with thought-provoking warm-up questions about the effects of human actions, like deforestation and urbanization, and how the world might change if humans were to disappear overnight. 🌱🏙️

Students will engage in a vocabulary matching activity where they connect terms such as deforestation, renewable energy, and urbanization to images. They will discuss how these factors impact the environment and explore the pros and cons of renewable energy compared to traditional sources. 🌳⚡

The lesson continues with a reading comprehension exercise featuring a text on humanity’s future on Mars. Students will answer questions about ethical concerns, resource distribution, and the effects of advanced technology on privacy and surveillance. 🚀📚

Following the reading, students will make predictions about the future based on images, using speculation and prediction phrases. This activity encourages them to think creatively and apply their new vocabulary. 🔮✨

Before watching a video about the consequences of human disappearance, students will familiarize themselves with relevant vocabulary through matching exercises. The video analysis will cover immediate effects, urban decay, changes in biodiversity, and the longevity of human-made structures. 📹🕰️

To wrap up, students will discuss their thoughts on the video and the implications of humanity’s legacy on Earth. This lesson is designed to foster critical thinking and enrich students’ understanding of environmental and futuristic issues through a variety of interactive activities. 🌟🤔🗣️

Enjoy!
