Hi there! In this post, I will propose two lesson plans to work on the topic "extreme sports" using web 1.0 webpages. I have evaluated the webpages I will use in these two lessons and many more in my previous post. You may find them useful too. Here is the link to my previous post:

- Topic: Extreme sports
- Students´age: 14/15-year-old students.
- Level: intermediate.
Lesson plan N° 1 (90-minute lesson):
Warmer:
Taboo game: In this game students will be divided into two groups. Each member of the group will take turns to pick a card with an extreme sport and taboo words they cannot mention. They will have to give clues to their classmates in order to guess the sports.
After that, the teacher will ask the students some questions for class discussion about extreme sports to get them into the topic:
-Have you ever done an extreme sport or activity?
-Would do you like to try any in the future?
-What are the most common extreme sports in our country? Where can we practice them?
Web:
We will go to the lab club and the teacher will ask the students to access the following webpage:
Before watching the video and to check the meaning of some of the vocabulary that the teacher will ask the students to do a matching activity with some words and their definitions using the authoring tool: hot potatoes.

After that, the teacher will ask them to watch the video and to do the online activities for listening comprehension.
Once they have finished and we have discussed the video, the teacher will ask the students to get into groups and choose 3 extreme sports from the following webpage. They will need to read and select useful information about each sport in order to create an interwiew (similar to the one in the video) to different well known or ivented athletes that perform those activities.
What´s next:
Students will create in pairs the interwiews to different well known or ivented athletes that perform those activities.
Lesson plan N° 2 (90-minute lesson):
Warmer:
as a warmer activity the teacher will ask the students to use hot potatoes to revise some of the extreme sports that were discussed in the previous class.

Web:
The teacher will show the learners the following pictures and she will try to find out what they know about Xgames and if they have watched these competitions before:
In order to explain students a little bit more about this tournement. The teacher will ask them to read the article from the following page:
https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/x-games/
While reading this article the teacher will ask them to focus on the underlined words and to check their meanings in the vocabulary section of the webpage. She will also encourage students to use online dictionaries to check any other unknown word.
For the sake of reading comprehension, the teacher will give students some true or false sentences.
Once students know what the Xgames are about, the teacher will tell them that the next X game competition is this year in August. And that they will have to collect the necessary information from the following webpage in order to create an infographic advertising it and with useful information for the people that what to go and enjoy the different competitions.

Hi, Maca. Your plans and research on webs 1.0 are excellent, a thorough review. Just one question, have you checked the APA format?. I think your topic is very appealing to that age group and the lesson plans seem to be appropriate and the exercises engaging. I loved it.
