Hi there! 👨🏻‍🏫

Ever dreamed of showing up to school naked or showing up late to something? These are dreams that many of us are likely to have had, but what could these dreams possibly mean? 

In this conversation lesson, based on an article from Mental Floss, students are given the opportunity to learn about and discuss the possible meaning of twelve dreams that most people are likely to have experienced at some point in their lives.

The lesson plan includes a jigsaw reading activity, which allows them to practice their reading and speaking skills. Also, students get to practice useful language for referencing a reading source (e.g., according to the article..., the author explains that..., etc.) as well as "tentative" language to suggest possible interpretations (e.g., this can represent..., this might indicate..., etc.).
