Unit 6 of Ticket to English covers Mass Media — a genuinely current topic, paired with the passive voice, one of the more advanced structures in the 1st Bac syllabus. Below are all 9 free, ready-to-teach lesson plans covering the full unit.
All nine are free to download, aligned with the 1st Bac Standards-Based Approach.
What’s Included
Lesson 1: Starting Up — Defining Mass Media & Usage
A warm-up lesson introducing the unit’s theme through students’ own real media habits.
Lesson 2: Reading — The Influence of Mass Media & News
A reading passage examining how media genuinely shapes public opinion.
Lesson 3: Vocabulary — Media Terms & Strong Adjectives
The vocabulary bank for discussing media, paired with more expressive adjectives beyond the basics.
Lesson 4: Listening — Local Radio News
Listening practice built around a genuinely authentic news format.
Lesson 5: Functions — Expressing Emotions, Feelings & Attitudes
A practical communication skill, naturally suited to reacting to news and media content.
Lesson 6: Grammar — The Passive Voice
A full lesson on the passive voice, especially relevant for media language, where the action often matters more than who performed it.
Lesson 7: Writing — E-mails & Film Reviews
A writing lesson covering two genuinely distinct formats, giving students practice with both a practical and a more creative writing task.
Lesson 8: Learning to Learn — SMS Language & Acronyms
A genuinely relevant study skills lesson, addressing informal digital English students encounter constantly outside class.
Lesson 9: Culture & Fun — Stereotypes & Comic Strips
A closing lesson combining a thoughtful media-literacy topic with a lighter visual format.
Passive voice fits media language naturally
News language relies heavily on the passive voice (“The event was reported by…”, “New measures have been announced”) — this unit’s grammar and topic reinforce each other more directly than in most units.
How to Use These in Class
Pull real passive voice examples from actual news headlines
Since Lesson 6’s grammar and the unit’s topic align so closely, using real (or realistic) news headlines as passive voice examples makes Lesson 6 feel directly connected to Lesson 2’s reading, not a separate grammar drill.
Treat the two writing formats as genuinely separate skills
Lesson 7 covers emails and film reviews together, but they’re different registers and purposes — worth giving each its own clear model rather than treating them as interchangeable practice.
SMS language needs clear boundaries
When teaching Lesson 8, be explicit that SMS abbreviations are for informal digital contexts only — students sometimes carry this language into formal writing tasks without realizing it’s inappropriate there.
