In this ESL lesson plan for adults and teens, students watch an informational video about a social credit ranking system in China. It includes discussion questions, conversation, and other activities about social media, citizenship, and social credit. Students learn some important vocabulary words, phrases, and expressions from the video. The grammar activity features the usage of "whether...or" for alternatives. There is a quiz and review with a bonus activity included.

This may not be so far-fetched when China rolls out their social credit system in 2020 which rates how 'trustworthy' its 1.4 billion citizens are.
