Advanced lesson plan (B2 and above): Could bioluminescent trees replace street lights? -   BUY ME A COFFEE if you like my FREE ESL content Could we transplant genes from fireflies into trees, and let their ethereal glow light up our streets? It sounds fanciful, like something out of  Avatar , but scientists have been seriously studying the possibility. Not only would bioluminescent trees use up zero electricity, but they would also look incredibly cool.  In this B2+ worksheet, students will  Study a video about glow-in-the-dark plants Learn six light-related  idioms Discuss six phrasal verbs based on GROW (to GROW back, to GROW apart, to GROW into, to GROW out of, etc.) See  advanced adjectives  to describe a bioluminescent tree Read and answer questions about a Kickstarter campaign to develop a glow-in-the-dark plant Differentiate between either and neither  and complete sentences related to bioengineering Educational materials shouldn't be paywalled.
