   Love the animation (and the lesson plan 😉 but I’m not so keen on the voiceover.

   I reckon some of my learners will disagree that some of those things are “success” (though disagreement is obviously a good thing for class).

   Nice topic for them to write about — or record themselves talking about!

      Hi Tom,
      Thanks for commenting. I’m very happy you like the video and the lesson plan. Yes, disagreement is a good thing for classroom discussion.
      Cheers,

   Great lesson plan again Kieran,

   Just wondering if there was a transcript or that was just a typo.

   Thanks again

   Hi there,

   liking it a lot and planning to use it in class on Monday.
   Currently, I am working on the transcript, yet I don’t understand the word after “People who try …. are also big success stories” (around 1:00). Who can help me, please! Thanks A TON!

   All the best,

   Ann-Kristin

      Hi Ann-Kirstin,
      Thanks a lot for commenting. The narrator says “People who triumph here are
      also big success stories.” You can download the transcript at the top of the lesson. I hope your students enjoy the film and the lesson.
      All the best,
      Kieran
