My Kind of Place
TP5 Elementary- face2face lesson 5A level

Description

In this lesson students will be introduced to and practice lexis and grammar associated with places (e.g. cities and towns), concentrating on the grammar of "there is/isn't..." and "there are/aren't..." (e.g. "There is a park. There aren't any squares"). In this section of the lesson students will choose their favourite place and identify which facilities and attractions are or aren't in their favourite place. Students will then participate in group work for a speaking activity where they will tell their group about their favourite place using the taught vocabulary. Students will then choose their favourite place from their group mates and tell the class why they would like to visit this place. Students will then undertake a controlled writing practice to further practice the grammar structure. The lesson will conclude with an optional game of places Bingo, if time permits, to further practice lexis in this context.
