WARM-UP & DISCUSSION

The lesson starts with a warm-up activity in which students complete the sentence. They need to finish the sentence ‘Shopping makes me feel…’ with the first idea that comes to their mind. Then, students explain their answers and compare them with their partner’s. This speaking lesson about shopping addiction also includes an additional vocabulary task. Students discuss the difference between the phrases (impulsive purchasing vs compulsive purchasing, instant gratification vs delayed gratification, rational decision-making vs emotion-driven choice). Students look at other possible ways to complete the sentence from a warm-up and discuss why people might feel these things (e.g. FOMO, having mixed feelings, feeling socially connected, etc.). They also read a few statements about shopping and come up with arguments for and against them. Then, they discuss whether they agree or disagree with the arguments.

MORE ACTIVITIES TO TALK ABOUT SHOPPING ADDICTION

In this part of the speaking lesson about shopping addiction, students watch an informative video about why shopping is addictive and how to control this addiction. First, students read the quotes from the video and discuss what they might mean or be about. Then, they watch the video and check their ideas. After that, students have a discussion and talk about shopping as a coping mechanism, retail therapy, paying using credit cards vs cash, shopping habits in the future, etc. In the next activity, students read the statements and decide if they are about people with a shopping addiction. As a wrap-up of this speaking lesson about shopping addiction, students look at the chart which illustrates how instant gratification works and discuss it.

WARM-UP & VOCABULARY

The lesson begins with a warm-up activity to get students thinking about fast fashion. They read three statements and determine if they’re true for them. Then, they read a short text about fast fashion and answer questions about it. The activity also includes a vocabulary section where students learn new words such as low wages, landfill, mend, and more. They practise using these words in a multiple-choice activity and match phrases with their definitions.

VIDEO & DISCUSSION

This part of the lesson plan focuses on a video about fast fashion. Students watch the video and engage in speaking activities related to the topic. They examine pictures and discuss how they’re connected to fast fashion. They also answer questions and learn about ways to reduce the negative impact of fast fashion. After the video activities, students read statements about fashion and shopping habits and discuss their opinions with their peers. Finally, students discuss potential problems with different methods of fighting fast fashion and exchange advice.

Ammaar Reshi wrote and illustrated a children's book in 72 hours using ChatGPT and Midjourney.

The book went viral on Twitter after it was met with intense backlash from artists.

Ammaar Reshi was reading a bedtime story to his friend's daughter when he decided he wanted to write his own.

Reshi, a product-design manager at a financial-tech company based in San Francisco, told Insider he had little experience in illustration or creative writing, so he turned to AI tools.

In December he used OpenAI's new chatbot, ChatGPT, to write "Alice and Sparkle," a story about a girl named Alice who wants to learn about the world of tech, and her robot friend, Sparkle. He then used Midjourney, an AI art generator, to illustrate it.

Just 72 hours later, Reshi self-published his book on Amazon's digital bookstore. The following day, he had the paperback in his hands, made for free via another Amazon service called KDP.

Ammaar Reshi

He said he paid nothing to create and publish the book, though he was already paying for a $30-a-month Midjourney subscription.

Impressed with the speed and results of his project, Reshi shared the experience in a Twitter thread that attracted more than 2,000 comments and 5,800 retweets.

Reshi said he initially received positive feedback from users praising his creativity. But the next day, the responses were filled with vitriol.

"There was this incredibly passionate response," Reshi said. "At 4 a.m. I was getting woken up by my phone blowing up every two minutes with a new tweet saying things like, 'You're scum' and 'We hate you.'"

Reshi said he was shocked by the intensity of the responses for what was supposed to be a gift for the children of some friends. It was only when he started reading through them that he discovered he had landed himself in the middle of a much larger debate.

Artists accused him of theft

Reshi's book touched a nerve with some artists who argue that AI art generators are stealing their work.

Some artists claim their art has been used to train AI image generators like Midjourney without their permission. Users can enter artists' names as prompts to generate art in their style.

An update to Lensa AI, a photo-editing tool, went viral on social-media last year after it launched an update that used AI to transform users' selfies into works of art, leading artists to highlight their concerns about AI programs taking inspiration from their work without permission or payment.

"I had not read up on the issues," Reshi said. "I realized that Lensa had actually caused this whole thing with that being a very mainstream app. It had spread that debate, and I was just getting a ton of hate for it."

"I was just shocked, and honestly I didn't really know how to deal with it," he said.

Among the nasty messages, Reshi said he found people with reasonable and valid concerns.

"Those are the people I wanted to engage with," he said. "I wanted a different perspective. I think it's very easy to be caught up in your bubble in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, where you think this is making leaps, but I wanted to hear from people who thought otherwise."

After learning more, he added to his Twitter thread saying that artists should be involved in the creation of AI image generators and that their "talent, skill, hard work to get there needs to be respected."

He said he thinks some of the hate was misdirected at his one-off project, when Midjourney allows users to "generate as much art as they want."

Reshi's book was briefly removed from Amazon - he said Amazon paused its sales from January 6 to January 14, citing "suspicious review activity," which he attributed to the volume of both five- and one-star reviews. He had sold 841 copies before it was removed.

Midjourney's founder, David Holz, told Insider: "Very few images made on our service are used commercially. It's almost entirely for personal use."

He said that data for all AI systems are "sourced from broadly spidering the internet," and most of the data in Midjourney's model are "just photos."

A creative process

Reshi said the project was never about claiming authorship over the book.

"I wouldn't even call myself the author," he said. "The AI is essentially the ghostwriter, and the other AI is the illustrator."

But he did think the process was a creative one. He said he spent hours tweaking the prompts in Midjourney to try and achieve consistent illustrations.

Despite successfully creating an image of his heroine, Alice, to appear throughout the book, he wasn't able to do the same for her robot friend. He had to use a picture of a different robot each time it appeared.

"It was impossible to get Sparkle the robot to look the same," he said. "It got to a point where I had to include a line in the book that says Sparkle can turn into all kinds of robot shapes."

Ammaar Reshi

Some people also attacked the quality of the book's writing and illustrations.

"The writing is stiff and has no voice whatsoever," one Amazon reviewer said. "And the art - wow - so bad it hurts. Tangents all over the place, strange fingers on every page, and inconsistencies to the point where it feels like these images are barely a step above random."

Reshi said he would be hesitant to put out an illustrated book again, but he would like to try other projects with AI.

"I'd use ChatGPT for instance," he said, saying there seem to be fewer concerns around content ownership than with AI image generators.

The goal of the project was always to gift the book to the two children of his friends, who both liked it, Reshi added.

"It worked with the people I intended, which was great," he said.

At the beginning of this A2 lesson about the environment, students look at a meme about the environment and discuss why it is important to care for oceans. Then, they read a short text and compare their ideas from the warm-up task with those in the text. They also match some words from the text (e.g. environment, waste, protect) with their meanings. After that, students look at three photos and complete the names of objects presented in them (e.g. reusable water bottle, light bulb). They also discuss if they use these objects and whether using them can help the environment. Next, students watch the first part of the video and explain how the listed things can help the environment (e.g. tote bags, LED light bulbs). Before watching the second part of the video, students look at some words describing the other tips and guess what the tips might be. Finally, they watch the second part of the video and check their answers.

In this part of the lesson students discuss the tips from the video and talk about their experience with the natural world: seas, oceans, rivers and forests. They also say what else they can do to protect the environment and whether they would be willing to do it. After that, students read a dialogue and choose the phrases which work best in the context (e.g. Yes, that sounds fun., Would you like to come?, I’m not sure about that.). In the last task of this A2 lesson about the environment, students imagine that they are going to organise an environmental event. There are four pictures to inspire students, e.g. planting trees, cleaning the forest. When they are ready, they work in pairs and invite their partner to join the event. They need to use the phrases from the previous exercise.

When it comes to the first listening comprehension task, students just watch the first part of the video and summarize what crisis David Attenborough and other speakers talk about. Before watching the second part, they have to brainstorm the ways humans destroy ecosystems. Then, they watch the second part and do a true or false exercise. Again, before watching the last part of the video (comprehension questions), students brainstorm the ways we can safeguard our planet. Next, students complete and discuss some statements connected with the protection of our planet. This lesson plan on extinction ends with the wildlife project. Students work in pairs or groups and come up with a small local initiative that could help protect wildlife. Finally, they share their initiative with the whole class. Encourage other students to comment on the initiatives of other groups.

My latest student interactive for ELLs at the NY Times is on climate change. It introduces students to the problem, and it also teaches them about the "Five W's" - who, what, where, when and why. A writing prompt is included.
I thought it would be helpful to put together a list of related online resources that are accessible to English Language Learners.

I also have a number of links on The Best Sites To Introduce Environmental Issues Into The Classroom, and won't be duplicating them here. So you might want to check-out that list, too. You might also be interested in T he Best Resources On Teens Demanding An Effective Response To Climate Change and The Best Online Carbon Calculators.

Here are my choices for The Best Sites To Learn About Climate Change (not in any order of preference):

Tides Of Change is a series of closed-captioned NASA videos related to climate change. NASA also has a site entirely devoted to climate change issues, including many interactives. Check out NASA's Climate Kids site, too.

Here's an i nfographic showing which countries have lived up to the Kyoto agreement on the environment and which have not.

What Causes Global Warming? is simple series of pictures demonstrating various activities that contribute to global warming. When you put your cursor on each picture, a short explanation appears.

"Conversations With The Earth" is a new site from the Smithsonian. Here's how it describes itself:
exhibition-the first of its kind devoted to indigenous science-provides a Native perspective on global climate change. Through photographs, video, and audio of tribal communities from the Arctic to Brazil, the environmental impact of pollution is found in the stories of imposed mitigation and its consequences on local livelihoods. Conversations with the Earth offers the voices of the Earth's traditional stewards in the search for a viable response to the challenges of climate change. In the words of Inupiat leader Patricia Cochran, chair of the Indigenous Peoples Global summit on Climate Change, "We are a harbinger of what is to come, what the rest of the world can expect."
Without question, the best part of the site shows tons of video interviews with people from all over the world.

The BBC has a 3D map that shows the climate from the past 100 years in a location and then projects its climate for the next century. It's called How Much Warmer is your City?

The University of Maryland has created a somewhat similar interactive map projecting the climate sixty years into the future. Here's a video talking about it:

TALKING ABOUT NATURE

This environment conversation class starts with a warm-up activity in which students look at three photos of people spending time in nature and discuss some questions about them. Then, they look at a list of things people do in nature and share some details about the last time they did these activities. There are also some additional questions in the teacher’s version of the lesson and the e-lesson plan. For example, students can talk about how they feel in nature or why spending time in nature is healthy. After that, students read five ideas on letting more nature into our lives (e.g. plants in public spaces, building schools close to beaches or forests). They need to decide if the ideas are achievable and explain their opinions.

VIDEO & DISCUSSION

The second part of this environment conversation class starts with the video viewing. Then, students discuss the message in the video. They also answer some additional questions. In the next task, students need to say whether they agree with some comments or not. They also need to give reasons for their answers. The comments are about the environment, climate change and the planet. Finally, students look at different activities people can do to help protect the environment. They need to decide which one in each pair they would rather do and why. The activities include for example being vegan, cleaning beaches and not using air-conditioning.
