Can schools be more fun?

This  lesson plan is designed for intermediate English language learners (B1-B2), focusing on the topic of alternative schooling models and making education more engaging. The plan includes a variety of activities such as warm-up questions, vocabulary building exercises with terms like "innovation" and "experiential learning," and comprehension tasks based on an article discussing different educational approaches like Montessori and Forest Schools. Furthermore, it incorporates idiom practice, a listening activity featuring a TED Talk by Sir Ken Robinson, and a homework assignment where students design their ideal school, encouraging them to apply the newly learned vocabulary and concepts. The overall objective is to develop critical thinking skills and topic-specific vocabulary while exploring innovative educational methods.
