Warm-up
The lesson starts with an activity in which the student puts scattered words together to make words/phrases (pop-up, personal data, web browser, etc.).
Reading: Digital footprint
The student reads a short text about digital footprint and answers the reading comprehension questions.
Video: How ads follow you around the internet
Before watching a video, the student gets familiar with the new words which will be mentioned in the video (cookies, inventor, retain, etc.) and uses them to complete sentences. Then, they sort out the pros and cons of cookies.
Next, they watch How ads follow you around the internet and learn how cookies work. They answer the video comprehension questions and decide if the statements based on the video are true or false.
They complete the chart with information they think a company website should include in their privacy policy.

The student learns about modal verbs must, might, could, and can’t, and practices using them in sentences. Their knowledge of modals is then tested in a ‘true or false’ exercise referring to the rules of their use.
