ESL Conversation Topic — Bigfoot

Written by Robert Vance on June 25, 2008 – 3:58 pm

Level: Intermediate - Advanced

Since China has their own version of Bigfoot, this ESL Conversation Topic should be very interesting. If you can get some drawings of the American Bigfoot, this would enhance the ESL lesson.

Warmup: Give your students a copy of an article about the Chinese “Bigfoot” from this website. Ask your students to take turns reading the article and discuss with them any new vocabularly. If you have any drawings or other information about “Bigfoot” in America, present these to your students now.

Discuss:

What do you think about Bigfoot in China and America? Does he really exist?
What do you think Bigfoot is like? Is he half man and half animal? Is that possible?
If Bigfoot doesn’t exist, do you think people are making up the stories? How could so many people lie about it?
Should we be scared of Bigfoot if he truly does exist? What do you think Bigfoot thinks about us?
Is looking for Bigfoot a waste of time? Is there any value in making contact with him?
What other unusual sightings exist in China? Have you ever seen anything strange in China?
What other unusual sightings do you know about from around the world? Loch Ness Monster, UFO’s, etc
Would you ever spend anytime looking for Bigfoot? Why or why not?
