Students will explore the world of young-teen consumerism. They will examine their personal buying habits, and analyze why they purchase particular brands. Students work in small groups to select and assess a popular teen product and create a video to demonstrate the results of their groups' tests and present their video to the class. Reading and writing skills are also developed through activities such as reading product evaluation reports and completing surveys.

Final Task: Students work in groups to evaluate popular teen products and present the results on video.

Age appropriate, full-colour and motivating themes, containing opportunities for speaking, listening, reading, andf writing, presented in a variety of formats. Also included are models of final tasks, video clips, learning strategy boxes, and examination of grammar in Quête-language boxes. A mini reference hand-book "Mini-guide", located at the back of the student book, includes literacy strategies, additional information related to the theme, and a summary of all language structures presented in the unit.
