Listening Activity
- ALT will read the article at an appropriate pace and students will arrange the sentences in order.
- I got the article from https://breakingnewsenglish.com/2301/230112-prince-harry-spare-2.html (I condensed it a bit as it was too long)
- Students can read the passage outloud with their partners
Brain storm (Pair work)
- Question: What do you think of when you hear the word 'Prince'?
- Encourage students to write either 1 word (Rich) or a short phrase (Meeting people) as this is just brainstorming.
- Choose a few students to share their ideas with the class.
Writing Activity
Based on the brainstorming session they can choose what they think is the best part about being a prince and expound on it.
***I have also attached a PowerPoint. The order of the slides is a bit different than the worksheet. Last minute i decided to do the brainstorming before the listening activity.

not sure how many ALTs have been forced to teach local eikaiwa classes on weekends, but the breakingnewsenglish website has been such a life saver. if only i could use these in elementary and junior high. I'm sure it must be a great tool if youre teaching at a high school.
it saved me one day when we had to plan a last minute lesson. definitely a life saver
Aside from some vocabulary you'd have to clue them in on, the grammar included in level 0 articles are often at the (end of) second year JHS textbook level, so the kids should technically be able to understand. Given a good amount of time and support I'm sure there's a way to use breakingnewsenglish in JHS, but I'm not sure how. Determined to find a way though
