This document outlines a lesson plan using media as a tool to teach English, social values, and cross-curricular content. Students are divided into four groups, with each assigned a different medium (TV, blog, radio, newspaper) to present a social issue. Objectives include improving English skills, understanding how to use different media, and increasing social awareness. Students will be evaluated on their creative work, language use, cooperation, and effort in presenting their media project. The goal is to engage students through an interactive methodology that combines language learning with other subjects.
