The Hyperloop Experience: 700 MPH in a Tube
This one of our original lessons on Fluentize.com, and personally, one of my favorites. It's designed for teachers with teenage or adult students at the B2 / Upper Intermediate level, and makes for a perfect one-one private lesson topic, but it can also be used in a group. All of my students have enjoyed doing this one so much, and teachers have given lots of positive feedback on it. You can find a more comprehensive version, and unlock the full lesson material for it on Fluentize. It's downloadable for free, including the interactive lesson plan for online lessons.In the lesson, students watch a video and do a listening exercise about the Hyperloop, the humanoid robot. It's a short, 5 minute video with a lot of interesting information about what the Hyperloop is and how it works. The lesson includes discussion questions and conversation activities about travel and modern transportation. Students also learn some important vocabulary terms, phrases, and a few phrasal verbs from the video. In the video, experts discuss safety concerns, the speed of the Hyperloop, and what some of the challenges will be. Students get to learn other terms related to engineering and travel like "encounter resistance" and "draft up blueprints". The grammar exercise features the passive voice and includes activities on this grammar point. There is a quiz and review section, as well as a bonus activity which you will find when downloading the original lesson on the Fluentize page for this lesson.Hope you enjoy this fun and engaging Fluentize lesson plan!- Jake
