Flipped lesson plan (B2 and above): Why did Prohibition fail? -  BUY ME A COFFEE if you like my FREE ESL content Teach students about America's 'noble experiment' with banning alcohol in the 1920s. In this worksheet, students will watch a TedEd video and read an article about the temperance movements, Al Capone and the Valentine's Day Massacre. Educational materials shouldn't be paywalled. Show your support for my ESL content by  buying me a coffee! Lesson activities: To warm up, students will perform Field Sobriety Tests, administered by cops on DUI suspects. These include saying the alphabet backwards and counting backwards and forwards Students will summarise the events that led to Prohibition in the US in their own words Students will learn idioms/phrases related to alcohol (hair of the dog, to get wasted, to hold your drink, Dutch courage)
