For example A2 First of all, for A2 students this power point presentation can be used as a way to present the topic: renewable energy, it can be a first step into state and point opinion about renewable energies. Students can work in pairs and exchange their opinion and make notes, next they can share with other pairs what they think about the topic. As the conclusion of the lesson they can think and write about what can we do to make renewable energies more popular. Secondly, for A2+ students, this power point presentation can be used in the beginning of the lesson as the way to present the topic, then a teacher introduce and translate the new vocabulary, students write them down in notebooks. They repeat them, and, than students watch it again to make notes. Next in pairs students write down examples of non-renewable and renewable energies. They think and discuss if these kind of energies are known and used in their countries. They try to find answer why or why not it is so. Later on, students give their opinion about different kind of energies, and what can be done to save the planet. Next, they can discuss about the global environmental problems and try to find a solution for our planet, how to protect it. Finally, for more advanced students eg. A2+ it can be used in the end of the subject as the way of summarising the discussion about renewable energies as future perspective for our planet. And the final work can be a writing homework about advantages of using renewable energies. • Possible difficulties for the students - Lack of vocabulary - Lack of knowledge about the topic - Students can find difficulties to express their opinion
