Evil Company Lesson Plan - Lexis - Intermediate and up

        Evil Company  Due to popular demand, here's the lesson plan for "Evil Company.' This is the same lesson plan we use as the lexis demo on The Language House TEFL certificate course. This lesson can be used for regular EFL classes or for business English classes depending on what lexis you choose to activate. Intro: Tell the class that you or your school is coming up with a new logo for the company and you'd like their input on which possible new logo the school should use. Show them a variety of logos from companies with a less than stellar reputation. Companies can include Walmart, McDonalds, Marlboro, BP... etc. The logos should elicit a negative response from the students, mainly 'unethical companies'.

Lead in: Demo these questions with students and then put them in groups. Make sure to monitor
