💡 Life Without Electricity
Students read an 800+ word article about a Norwegian experiment where 50 families lived without electricity for a week. The text explores how people adapted, what they rediscovered, and how dependent modern life has become on power. Grammar focus covers three easily confused structures: 'used to' (past habits), 'be used to' (current familiarity), and 'get used to' (process of adapting), with clear form distinctions and negative/question patterns. The interactive fill-in-the-blanks uses input fields with instant feedback. The Blackout Survival game presents 10 context sentences where students choose the correct form. The writing task asks students to describe personal changes using all three structures.
