When to teach this lesson on facial expressions?

This is a speaking lesson plan that is great to use to introduce facial expressions. Facial expressions are important to study as they provide non-verbal cues and information. They can provide nearly as much information as spoken words do. They can be difficult to understand but when understood students can remain confident when interacting with others in English. This is a great lesson to introduce to upper-intermediate students that have been looking to develop a deeper understanding of English vocabulary in conversational contexts.

When to use this lesson plan on animals and pets?



The topic of animals, particularly pets, might seem juvenile or childish to some teachers. However this lesson plan is tailored so that it is engaging, intellectually stimulating and appropriate for mature learners. This is a great resource for you to use with pre-intermediate students that need to work on developing their English vocabulary lesson.



How to teach this lesson

 It is important to note that many students will already have some knowledge of pets and animals. So at the beginning of the lesson, make sure to personalize the lesson and immediately ask about the student’s pets, or relatives’ and friends’ pets. In addition to personalizing the lesson, you are required to prompt students and give examples as needed. Finally, be sure to converse with the student and give them opportunities to read. In any case, it’s always important to correct your students but constructively and encouragingly.



What will students do throughout this lesson plan on pets?



This lesson plan on pets is designed to introduce students to new vocabulary words. However, throughout the lesson they will practice speaking, reading and listening; they will have ample opportunities to formulate sentences independently. 



This lesson plan allows students to use the most common vocabulary items related to common pets, including what they eat and how to care for them. It also allows students to use the vocabulary in context and raise awareness about how this vocabulary is used in daily language.

There are three conversaion parts with deep conversation questions that I've found on baamboozle and put on a slide, there is the link for the game that I've used: baamboozle.com/game/2463410

Deep conversation questions

A mom and her son talk about how bad video games are for him -- especially compared with her own entertainment habits.  1-page conversation using casual language.  Medium difficulty.  

Are video games really that bad for you?

Hello world and teachers of this world!

How are you? Hope everybody is ok. :) 



Here you are a slide to work TAG QUESTIONS with your teens!

It is possible to work google searches, using the artists and their corresponding nationalities and transform this into a conversation using tag questions. The idea is to make the student write more and make them feel interested in participating in the dialogue by showing and acquiring skills.
