Role Models — Heroes and Role Models

About this lesson

This unit focuses on the theme of heroes and role models. It begins with a discussion prompt asking students to identify their role model and the qualities they admire. The listening section features a blog post by Noha, where she talks about her role model (her mother), and a dialogue about Ahmed El-Mansy, with comprehension questions. Speaking activities involve think-pair-share discussions about what makes someone a hero and how to describe a true hero. The language in use section teaches the past simple tense, including regular and irregular verbs, and the past simple of 'to be' (was/were). Students practice by completing sentences, rewriting sentences in the past simple, and correcting mistakes. By the end of the unit, students should be able to discuss role models, listen for specific information, and use the past simple tense correctly in speaking and writing.
