Inspired by a recent Apple Christmas commercial, this video-based ESL lesson is suitable for B2-C1 level students of all ages. The lesson includes lots of discussion points, a short warm-up game, retelling the video frame by frame, a debate, and an analysis of song lyrics. It’s a great lesson for the upcoming holidays and serves as a reminder to students to be kind to strangers.
