That sounds like a great plan!

Here's a suggested lesson plan for your 55-minute class:

1. Warm-up (5 minutes):

● Start with a brief discussion about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Ask your
student if they are familiar with the concept and if they can give examples of
companies that practice CSR.

2. Introduction to the Video (10 minutes):

● Introduce the TEDx talk by Rachel Hutchisson. Provide some background

information on the speaker and briefly explain the title of the talk. Encourage the
student to share their thoughts on what they expect the talk to be about.

3. Watch the Video (15 minutes):

● Play the TEDx talk, "The Era of Corporate Social Responsibility is Ending." Make
sure to pause at key points to check understanding and ask questions to keep the
student engaged.

4. Discussion (15 minutes):

● Lead a discussion based on the video. Ask open-ended questions such as:
○ What are the main points the speaker makes?
○ Do you agree or disagree with the speaker's perspective?
○ How might the end of the era of CSR impact businesses and society?

5. Vocabulary Activity (5 minutes):

● Choose a few key vocabulary words from the video that may be challenging for the
student. Discuss their meanings and usage. You can create fill-in-the-blank
sentences or ask the student to use the words in their own sentences.

6. Grammar Activity (5 minutes):

● Identify a specific grammatical structure or concept from the video. For example, you
could focus on verb tenses or reported speech. Provide a brief explanation and then
create exercises or prompts for the student to practice using the grammar point.

7. Wrap-up (5 minutes):

● Summarize the key points from the video and the discussion.
● Ask the student to reflect on what they have learned and whether their views on CSR
have changed after watching the talk.

Feel free to adapt the timing and activities based on your student's pace and engagement
level. This plan aims to balance listening, speaking, and language practice while exploring a
relevant and thought-provoking topic.

Could you suggest one Grammar Activity to work with him based on the video?
ChatGPT
Certainly! Given the nature of the TEDx talk about the changing landscape of Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR), one relevant grammar point you can focus on is the use of
reported speech. Reported speech is often used when summarizing or conveying
information from someone else. Here's a suggested Grammar Activity:

Grammar Activity: Reported Speech

1. Introduction (2 minutes):
○ Briefly explain the concept of reported speech to your student. Provide
examples of direct speech and how to convert them into reported speech. For
example:
■ Direct Speech: "The era of Corporate Social Responsibility is ending,"
she said.
■ Reported Speech: She said that the era of Corporate Social
Responsibility is ending.
2. Video Analysis (5 minutes):
○ Identify segments in the TEDx talk where the speaker, Rachel Hutchisson,
shares information or expresses opinions. Choose a few sentences that are
suitable for reported speech transformation.
3. Practice Exercise (10 minutes):
○ Create sentences based on the video content for your student to convert from
direct to reported speech. For instance:
■ Direct Speech: "Companies are reevaluating their approach to CSR,"
Rachel explained.
■ Reported Speech: Rachel explained that companies are reevaluating
their approach to CSR.
○ Provide additional sentences for the student to practice, incorporating
different reporting verbs and tenses.
4. Discussion (8 minutes):
○ Engage the student in a discussion about the importance of using reported
speech, especially in the context of conveying information from TED talks or
other presentations. Discuss any challenges or questions they may have
encountered during the exercise.
5. Application (5 minutes):
○ Ask the student to create their own sentences using reported speech. They
can summarize a key point from the TEDx talk or express their opinions about
the topic using reported speech.
6. Feedback and Review (5 minutes):
○ Provide feedback on the student's use of reported speech and address any
questions or concerns they may have. Review key concepts and offer
additional examples if needed.

This grammar activity allows the student to not only practice reported speech but also
engage with the content of the TEDx talk in a more structured and language-focused way.
