    What a great idea for a lesson! I’d develop the vocab secion a bit more, but the role plays and the warm-up questions are really inquisitive in all your lesson plans. I love it. Thanks so much!

    Thanks again for your lessons! Matthew, with regards to the short articles that you create, do you have to get permission from the original authors before you rewrite them and put them onto your site?

      Hello. I do not get permission from my research sources when I write my summary. The ideas from the articles are paraphrased (not copied) and I do cite them, as you’ve noticed, at the end of the article. Glad to hear you’re enjoying the lessons.
