Introduction: In this lesson students start with talking about how they use the internet, they then watch a video about online safety and read about staying safe online. They do a speaking activity based on the video and the text, and finish by making a poster with their top tips for staying safe online.

3. Reading (15 mins)	Hand out or display the ‘Online safety UK’ text. Ask students to read the text very quickly (set a time limit of 2 minutes) and to say how it is similar to the video they watched (the text is all about various aspects of how to stay safe online). • Students do the ‘Check your vocabulary: matching’ task under the text. Choose either the online or printed version. • Ask students to read the text again more slowly and to complete the ‘Check your understanding: true or false’ comprehension task in pairs. • Fast finishers can also do the ‘Check your understanding: gap fill’ task.
