Is it an imaginary place? Is it here in your imagination? What do we call this place? I will ask ss to have a look at three legendary places Then, I will show them pictures about these legendary places and ask them the following questions: 1-What does this dragon mean? (evil or good) 2-What is it?( a map) what do we use a map for? 3-What is this? (gold) what does it mean when a person have gold? Do people always look for gold? Then I will ask ss to match the legendary places with the pictures.( in pairs) I will monitor to check if ss are on the right track or not and to provide any help if necessary. I will check answers with ss.
