B1 ESL lesson "The man who walked across Antarctica" — Reported Speech with Colin O'Brady's expedition

Expedition and Survival Vocabulary

This lesson follows Colin O'Brady's solo journey across Antarctica, one of the coldest and harshest places on Earth. Essential terms include expedition, trek, sled, snowstorm, blizzard, survival skills, supplies, and endurance — helping students talk about extreme journeys, exploration, and resilience.

Reported Speech: Tense Changes and Time Expressions

Learners study the rules of Reported Speech, including tense changes (Present → Past, Past Simple → Past Perfect, Will → Would, Must → Had to). They practise transforming direct quotes into reported sentences with correct time phrase adjustments.

Interactive Exercises: Retelling an Explorer's Story

Students complete grammar gap-fills, rewrite explorer quotes, listen to survival stories, and engage in role-play discussions. Critical thinking tasks encourage them to reflect on danger, equipment, and survival strategies in Antarctica.
