๐ง The Fleydo Tribune: Your Amazing Body
B1 Adults 'Your Amazing Body' edition (reading-first design): students open a full Health & Science edition of The Fleydo Tribune and begin immediately with the reading โ a real-looking newspaper page with masthead, datelines, bylines, columns, drop caps, and pull quotes โ before any other activity. The four stories explain how the brain saves and strengthens memories while we sleep, why even a small lack of water affects how we think, how a few minutes of stretching helps the body recover, and why laughter really is good for health, all with target vocabulary highlighted and explained on hover plus a reading tip on simple comparisons and careful science words. After reading, learners discuss four reaction questions, study a 12-item vocabulary table grouped by function (the brain & memory, the body & energy, movement & recovery), and explore a six-card phrase toolkit (Scientists are learning thatโฆ, This helps the body toโฆ, Doctors suggestโฆ, The good news is simpleโฆ). Six flashcards consolidate the core words, an eight-question gap-fill gives instant feedback with a live score, a five-prompt discussion task encourages use of the phrase toolkit, a guided writing task (90โ120 words) invites students to write their own health-tip story, and an eight-question quiz mixes vocabulary, phrase, and reading-comprehension items with a scored results circle and personalised feedback.
