The sizzling story behind movie munchies

In this Advanced ESL lesson, we will watch a video about popcorn and how it can relate to leisure. Then we will read an article about other types of foods found at the movie theater. We will learn new vocabulary and do exercises so the students can practice. For grammar, we will talk about the Sequence of Tenses Rule. The lesson starts with reading a Psychological paper about how ‘leisure’ can be defined.
