Lesson 1

Topic: Exploring Careers Online

Age Group: 14–15 years

Level: B1

Time: 45–50 minutes

Warmer (5 minutes)

T will ask the question “What’s your dream job?”

Students will raise their hands and answer (doctor, gamer, teacher, influencer, etc.).

Teacher will write them on the board and circle a few that are mentioned on the websites that we will explore.

What's Next (20 minutes)

Students will write a short “job profile” card about the career they explored, including:

• Title of the job

• 2–3 main tasks

• Skills required

• Why someone might like it

We will then hold a mini "career fair". Students will present their job card briefly to the class.

To wrap up the lesson, teacher will highlight useful vocabulary and write it on the board, ask which jobs sounded the most interesting, and set the homework: Write a short paragraph about whether you would like to do this job in the future and why/why not.

Lesson 2

Topic:  Fact-Checking News Online

Age Group: 17–18 years 

Level: B2

Time: 50 minutes

• Warmer (5 minutes)

• Teacher will show two short news headlines on the board -- one real, one fake (“Scientists discover a cure for procrastination” vs. "Breakthrough in search for HIV cure leaves researchers ‘overwhelmed’")

• Students will take some time to consider which one is real and which one is fake. We will then hold a class discussion based on the question: How can we know if information online is reliable?

• Web (25 minutes)

• BBC News: https://www.bbc.com/ (authentic, reliable news site)

In pairs, students will pick a news story from the BBC.  They will then search for the story on Snopes to see if it's reliable and answer guiding questions on a worksheet:

• What is the story about?

• How do we know it’s reliable?

• Did you find any “fake news” examples on Snopes? What were they?

In a language focus session, teacher will provide useful phrases:

• The article claims that…

• According to the website…

• This source is reliable because…

• I found that the story was/was not true…

What’s Next (15–18 minutes)

Each pair will create a short “Fact-Check Report” poster (manually) or Canva (digitally):

• • Title of the news story

  • Summary (2–3 sentences)

  • Reliability judgment (true/false/misleading)

  • Why they think so

Students  will then present their findings in a short presentation.

To wrap up the lesson, the teacher will highlight the importance of being critical of what we read, and assign homework: Find one fake/biased online news article and write 150 words analyzing why it's not reliable.
