Warm-up
The lesson kicks off with students revealing the hints to guess the word behind the associations.
Video
Students watch a video “Apple Isn’t Even at the AI Party, Ross Gerber Says.” After viewing, they examine a list of key points and select which ones were mentioned in the video. This task helps improve listening skills and sparks conversation.
