Podcast: Calgary Stampede
The Calgary Stampede is celebrating its 100th anniversary this week! In today’s mini-podcast, English learners discover the history behind this rodeo and festival. They also learn about why some environmental groups are against the annual stampede. This podcast is an audio preview of our ready-made Famous Things lesson plan. The Calgary Stampede lesson plan comes with vocabulary review, a reading, comprehension check, vocabulary practice, and discussion questions. Students can also take part in a small research project about the Indian Village. Preview all of ESL-Library’s Famous Things lessons here.
