Description

In this lesson, we cover the parts of a house. In the first part, we will play a game of charades in order to elicit for the various rooms in a house. First, the teacher will start, then after the Ss know the words, the Ss will get up and play act the rooms. After that, we will looks at some pictures of the White House, and listen to a short interview. Ss will practice listening for questions, and put them in the right order. Once that is complete, we go back to parts of a house, where Ss are asked to fill out a floor plan, labeling the rooms with the correct names. Finally, there will be a PW exercise where Ss will ask each other where they do certain activities - i.e. sleep, watch tv and prepare food.
