McDonald's Pulls Out of Iceland

Looking for breaking news to write about on the blog I found a Breaking News English Lesson which deals with the fact that the big giant McDonald has to sell his last restaurant in Iceland. This lesson plan provides great activities to deal with in our classes. I think every student will find this piece of news really interesting because they are fan of Mc Donalds’ hamburgers and surely, it is very far from their expectation to listen that they can have financial problems.
The wide range of activities provided by this webpage includes, predicting the content of the article, reading and listening comprehension, vocabulary excercises, working with dictionaries, a debate about fast food, a survey and a writing excercise about Mc Donald. The activities are meant to recycle vocabulary and structures and to allow students to learn the language while using it. Maybe some of the activities seem to be a bit difficult, but a motivated student will do his best to work them out,

You can see why McDonald was pulled out of Iceland and all the activities you can use in your classes. Surely students will be motivated by the topic and the activities. Enjoy it and tell me what do you thimk about it.
