🏙 Design Your Dream City
Students read about three innovative cities: Copenhagen (cycling culture and clean air), Singapore (vertical gardens and compact living), and Medellin (social transformation through cable cars and public spaces). The 800+ word text naturally embeds comparatives, superlatives and as...as structures throughout. Grammar covers short/long adjective rules, irregular forms, modifiers (much/far/slightly/a bit), and the as...as / not as...as pattern. The interactive fill-in-the-blanks section uses input fields where students type their own answers and get instant feedback. The City Planner game puts students in charge of 10 urban planning decisions. Writing task asks students to describe their dream city using comparison structures.
