I created a lesson plan yesterday for students so that they could practice the Past Simple form. I found a bit more about Heath Ledger and then created a reading relay. There are two parts to this lesson; first students have to re-create the past simple question forms and, secondly, students then have to look for the correct information.
You would be able to link this lesson to Superheroes. Personally, I got students to create their own superheroes and then they look at popular superheroes and we brainstormed vocabulary (alias, superpowers, costume, arch enemy) which we linked to Batman and then finally to Heath Ledger. It was a long context builder but the students enjoyed it.
Anyhow, please find below the lesson plan and please feel to share and provide feedback. I hope your students enjoy this.

The best method for any interview is practice. Anticipate the questions that the interviewer could ask; “Why do you want the job?”, “What do you know about the company”, etc. Then think about the best way to answer these questions. Record yourself answering these questions and then replay the recording. Make a note of any particular words that require improving.
Best of luck and most of all enjoy it.
