Hi everyone,
today we are going to work on a very "trendy" topic: PHUBBING .
You all have got a smartphone and you are keen on using it everytime you can (but don't do it during the lessons!!) Now, let's focus on the behaviour of teenagers like you , or adults, using their cellphones... don't you think that sometimes they could be annoying trying to be connected all the time?
I'd like you to watch the following video and to do the following exercises
Assignment #1
Write a list of the three aspects/concepts/words you consider interesting about this new topic and be ready to talk about them in class.
Assignment #2
Think about your technological behaviour and interaction with friends and answer the following question:
Are you a phubber?
Have you ever been phubbed?
IN CLASS
WARM UP ACTIVITY: Let's talk in class about the video you watched at home and let's check the assignments
after that...
STEP1 Look at the picture by Banksy
Let's discuss the following aspects of this picture:
What is this couple doing?
What is strange in this picture?
