In this lesson on comic superhero characters, students develop their language and skills by learning about Iron Man. To engage with the topic, they begin by discussing technology in general. The students then explore key vocabulary before arranging a timeline that follows Tony Stark’s transformation into Iron Man. They then develop their listening skills on the topic of his suit and complete various vocabulary and comprehension tasks. There is a final collaborative group task in which students create their own inventions. (by Vicky Aitken)

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT

Speaker: Tony Stark’s Iron Man suit has many technical weapons which help him fight enemies and stay alive. He has repulsor rays, which use energy from his hands to push away his enemies. He has booster jets on his back and in his legs, which help him fly faster than a jet plane and move very quickly. His helmet protects his head from danger, and he can see all around him in every direction. It also has a display screen, which gives him a lot of information about places and enemies. In the middle of his chest, he has a unibeam. It can shine a bright light or shoot a strong energy beam. It is powerful and can break many things. He only uses it when necessary.
