Description

In this lesson Ss will learn the vocabulary of the family. I've chosen the Simpsons family as a famous family to elicit vocabulary from Ss. There will be a labeling exercise where Ss come to board. There will be a reading exercise from the Straightforward Beginners course book and questions afterwards. Then there will be a crossword about the family. Then there will be a speaking exercise where Ss fill out cards about their families and discuss with their partners. After that there will be a presentation to the class.
