In this C2 lesson plan, students will practice vocabulary about travel and international borders. They will watch a video and read an article about the subject. We will go over discourse markers and how to use them properly.
Warm-up

Reading for understanding:
The student will read an article about other borders where this could be happening and how it will affect the people who live there.
