ABOUT THIS LESSON
About This Generation Stereotypes ESL Lesson
Boomers, Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z all have familiar labels. But people inside one generation can be very different, and researchers do not always agree where each generation starts and ends.
This A1–A2 Generation Stereotypes ESL lesson helps beginner learners talk about age labels, personality, situation, work, housing, technology and whether generations are really so different.
Students use a short original reading and audio, beginner vocabulary, true-or-false comprehension, five discussion questions, a generation-ranking activity, a speaking challenge and guided writing.
