It includes discussion questions and conversation activities about the sport of archery and horseback riding. Students learn some important vocabulary terms and phrases from the video. The post-viewing section includes activities on prepositions, rewriting sentences, and a quote from the video. The grammar activity features the usage of the conjunction "unless" in second conditional sentences. There is a short trivia quiz about both archery and horseback riding included, as well as a quiz and review section with a bonus activity.
