Fat Acceptance – a Talking Points Lesson Plan for English Reading & Speaking

Fat Acceptance – a Talking Points Lesson Plan for English Reading & Speaking

This is part of the Talking Points lesson series for Intermediate to Advanced students.

This is a highly sensitive subject so please go carefully in class.

It deals with the topic of being overweight and how – certainly in the west – we have now entered a culture of fat acceptance.

We have supersize models and plus-size stars on the covers of fashion and lifestyle magazines.

But is it healthy? Are we enabling a dangerous lifestyle?

This subject is indeed very sensitive but if done correctly it can be great for your English/ESL class. It is sure to cause much discussion and debate.

The lesson comes complete with:

• a 500-word article

• a table of essential vocabulary

• a big list of questions for discussion

Start the class with the three opening questions and then do the reading. Then you can go through all the vocabulary – or set it as homework for the students to do later.

Then there is a big list of questions that are designed to get your students talking.

It comes in easy to use PDF format, ideal for printing for your needs. Use it again and again for your English/ESL classes.
