Show three flags/symbols on the slide: Scotland, Oregon (USA), and Saga. Ask: "What do you already know about these three places?" Take a few quick answers, no correction yet.

Introduce the words compare, contrast, similar, different using two familiar, simple items first (e.g., a cat and a dog, or rice and bread) before applying the language to places. Model example sentences for each word/phrase in the Target Language table. Ask a CCQ after each one. Drill 2-3 useful sentences chorally (as a class, together).

students complete section 1 of the worksheet by filling in the missing word in each sentence. This practice reflects example sentences used in presentation.

show a quick, engaging round of facts with pictures: legendary creatures (the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot - familiar from the previous lesson, if taught), typical weather, a favorite food, and a popular pastime for each place. Keep this light and visual, not a long list - the goal is enough material for the Venn diagram, not a full lesson on either place.

Ask the class: "What about Saga? What legendary creatures, weather, food, or pastimes does Saga have?" Write student answers on the board as a shared reference list for the group work that follows.

In groups of 3-4, students complete the three-circle Venn diagram on the worksheet (Scotland / Oregon / Saga), sorting facts into the correct section - including the middle sections where two or three places share something. Remind groups to use the target language while discussing, not just while writing. Monitor and support each group.

Each group shares one similarity and one difference they found, using the target language (e.g., "Both Scotland and Saga have rain in summer, but Oregon is drier."). Note 2-3 common errors during monitoring for brief, gentle correction at the end - don't interrupt groups while they're sharing.

Quickly review the target language as a class (compare, contrast, similar, different, both...and, but). Praise the class for their ideas and close warmly.
