What is the Enhanced Games and why is this competition so controversial? In this lesson, students watch a short video interview with the founders of an experimental sporting event where athletes are allowed to use performance-enhancing drugs. This digital-only lesson includes key background information, a video, comprehension questions, and a discussion task that encourages learners to use reporting language. An optional opinion piece is also available for extra reading and discussion.
