Introduction
The first part of this lesson encourages students to think about their identity and what defines them. They are also invited to think about how identity and what defines us has changed and will change over time. The second part of the lesson asks students to watch a short video about how people identify themselves. In the third part of the lesson, students focus on language for expressing probability and practise using this to talk about how their identities may change in the future. They end with a discussion about the future and society.
