In this ESL mini-lesson plan for adults, students watch a video and do a listening exercise on a short documentary about a grandma who is a video gamer. It includes discussion questions and conversation activities about video gaming and old age. Students learn some important vocabulary terms and phrases from the video. The post-viewing section includes activities on vocabulary context usage, in addition to grammar on the present perfect continuous. There are additional speaking tasks included, as well as a quiz and review section with a bonus activity.
