Objective & content
Jeff guides listeners through the Midwest, twelve states in the middle of the map, and the episode pays off the pie promise from episode 3. They look at about 70 million people, the farms that grow more than 90% of America's corn, Tornado Alley with its basements and sirens, the Great Lakes, Chicago and the summer state fairs. Learners practise the present simple, quantities and percentages (more than 90%, a fifth of) and comparison with more than (more tornadoes than anywhere else), with vocabulary of farming, storms and food. The main skill is listening; one line to notice is "This region is not being humble."
