ESL Discussion Worksheet: The Perfect Earth Hour

What would the perfect Earth hour actually look like? 60 minutes without any artificial light polluting the sky. Would it help fight climate change? Would it change our perception of the world? Enjoy this 90-minute ESL discussion with your students as you discuss this and other “what if” questions.

Have you ever walked out on your balcony at night, a slight breeze in your hair, maybe a glass of wine or Aperol spritz… It’s beautiful out, and you look up to the sky and see… nothing. No clouds, no stars, nothing! Well, what if we turned off all the lights on the planet for an hour? That’s what is discussed in this ESL discussion worksheet: the perfect Earth hour.

Instructions

Use this ESL Discussion Worksheet however you’d like, but here’s what we recommend:

  1. Warm-up question: What would happen if we turned all the lights off in the world for an hour?
  2. Watch the video once: Ask students if anything they mentioned from the warm-up question was talked about in the video.
  3. Vocabulary: Check out the vocabulary on the PDF and answer any questions.
  4. Watch the a second time: Answer the questions on the PDF in pairs.
  5. Speaking Activity: Put students in pairs to complete the speaking activity – directions on the PDF.
  6. If you’ve still got time left over, put your students in new pairs or small groups and discuss the group activity.

I have been teaching English abroad since receiving my CELTA certificate in Poland in 2018. I enjoy tracking my individual students’ development but love having lessons with big groups! Now that I teach online, I am accompanied by my sidekicks Olaf, Mała, Pirate and Bandit on a regular basis.

It takes a team of 13 to create and produce this material. In order for that to continue, please think about purchasing your own subscription to ESL Expertz and encourage your colleagues to do the same. We appreciate your confidence and support!
