ACTIVITIES
At the beginning of the lesson, students share their experience with heat waves and how they cope with them. Then, they read five questions with advanced adjectives (e.g. insidious, futile, obstinate) and choose the meaning of each of them using the context. Students also discuss the questions using the information from the article they read at home, as well as their own knowledge and judgement. Finally, in the last activity, students consider possible outcomes and follow-ups of some of the actions taken by chief heat officers.
