This lesson tells the life story of Michael J. Fox, the Canadian actor who became famous around the world in Back to the Future. Learners watch a short clip from the film and then read a simple biography: his childhood in Canada, his first TV role at 15, his difficult years in Los Angeles, the big break that changed his career, his diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease and his foundation for research. Along the way they learn useful vocabulary and practise talking about the numbers in a life story. Optional extra activities teach the prepositions at, in and for with ages, years and periods of time, and end with learners telling the life story of a famous person or someone they know.
