1C - Video activity - James Charles

What happens when a young make-up influencer bites the hand that feeds him?

For the English challenge, you can write a summary of the story. 
Who is James Charles? Where is he from?  How old is he? How did he become famous? What does he vlog about? Who are his followers?   How much is he worth?  Why is he losing followers?  When did all this happen?

You could also comment on James Charles.  Do you follow him?  Do you like him?  What do you think about a boy who advertises make-up?

English Challenge Activities (Example)

I watched the Big Bang Theory.  In this episode, Leonard read Penny's diary.  He found out that Penny hated a nightie that he bought for her because it was orange and she thought it made her look like a carrot.  Penny got mad that Leonard read her diary.  To apologize for his actions, he dresses up in the nightie and offers to let Penny take a shame photo to put on the internet. Penny doesn't take him up on his offer.  But Leonard is totally embarrassed when all their friends walk in and see him dressed up as a "naughty carrot." (101 words)
