🚫 Cancel Culture: Fair or Unfair?
Students read a 1100+ word article about cancel culture featuring the story of Alex (a student whose joke went viral), Marta from Portugal (targeted for a childhood photo), and expert perspectives from Dr. Priya Mehta (social media researcher) and James Okafor (cultural commentator). Vocabulary words are highlighted in the reading text. The article explores both positive and negative sides of cancel culture, the difference between accountability and punishment, and the permanence of the internet. Grammar covers the third conditional (if + past perfect, would have + past participle) for imagining different past outcomes, expressing regret, and analysing past decisions. The interactive game presents 10 third conditional sentences about online situations. The writing task asks students to analyse a cancel culture case or a personal mistake using third conditional.
