Ready-made lessons
Cognitive biases
A copiable lesson on Miro. The lesson (or a series of lessons) is
flexible
, which means you can choose what elements you want to include. You may skip doing a quiz or do all the stages. You may let students choose what biases they would like to discuss, or you may discuss all of them. Stages of the lesson aren't linked content-wise, so you can skip any stage. There are reading, listening, speaking and writing tasks about 7 different cognitive biases. Suitable for B2.
