In the classroom

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Describe pictures aloud using descriptive and speculative English (who, what is happening, what might explain it)
Understand a spoken English video about a real person's life and career and answer detail questions
Support opinions with reasons when arguing an answer (e.g., whether Stan Lee was shy)
Write an extended essay from a choice of superhero-themed prompts and share it with peers

Teaching tips

Run the four picture slides as whole-class speaking before revealing Stan Lee's identity — the sequence is built so students describe him before learning who he is
The listening video is reached by a click-through link on the slide, so test the link and audio setup before class
Question 3 ("Was Stan Lee shy? Argue your answer!") suits a quick pair-debate before students check the solutions slide
Let students pick different essay prompts and share results, as the closing slide directs — the variety keeps peer feedback interesting

Skills covered

Speaking through picture description — four slides prompt students to describe characters and scenes and speculate about them.
Listening comprehension — students watch a linked video about Stan Lee and answer five open questions on his career, personality, and promotion style.
Opinion and argumentation — questions require students to argue answers rather than only recall facts.
Essay writing — the closing task asks students to develop one of three prompts into a full essay and share it with fellow learners.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How is the listening activity delivered?

Through a video reached from a link on the slide ("Click for the video...") about Stan Lee and his life's work. Students answer five open questions — from what he learned in a thirty-year comics career to how he promoted his books — and a solutions slide at the end of the lesson covers all five.

Do students need to know the Marvel universe before this lesson?

No. The opening slides introduce Marvel and its best-known heroes, and the picture-description questions are open — students describe what they see and speculate, so prior fandom is a bonus rather than a requirement.

What happens after the listening activity?

The lesson closes with writing: students choose one of three essay prompts and write an essay to share with their fellow learners, rounding out the speaking-listening-writing sequence.
