Description

In this lesson, students learn about family vocabulary by listening to different monologues. They are first exposed to the vocabulary through a listening practice. They then complete two controlled-practice exercises using these new words. This is followed by another listening activity talking about family, and answering questions about it. Afterwards, they are introduced to possessive pronouns, and they do some controlled exercises on pronouns. They complete the lesson with a free speaking activity using the possessive pronouns to describe their own family members.
