This worksheet titled "Welcome to Canada: The Ultimate Lake Hangout" is designed to engage EFL students in learning about Canada's lakes through various interactive activities. The worksheet begins with warm-up questions to stimulate discussion about personal experiences with lakes and preferred water-related activities. It then includes a reading comprehension section based on an informative text about Canada's lakes, followed by vocabulary exercises to reinforce key terms from the reading. There are also fill-in-the-blank sentences to help students apply their vocabulary knowledge in context. Additionally, the worksheet features an idiom matching activity to familiarize students with common lake-related idioms, promoting deeper language comprehension. The discussion prompts encourage further conversation and critical thinking about environmental conservation and personal preferences. Finally, a writing task asks students to describe their ideal lake trip, integrating vocabulary from the lesson. The worksheet is rounded out with an answer key for teachers to facilitate easy correction and feedback.

This is a worksheet where you cut up and laminate all the countries and cities and the students have to match them along with the flags. Use the countries and cities to your own teaching plan.

This worksheet is a table with 3 columns. The first column has country names. The second is empty and one has to write corresponding nationality/citizenship. The third is also empty and one has to write corresponding languages. Some are tricky and require some deeper knowledge about countries and you also can make it as deep as you wish depending on complexities within each country too...

There's not many dialogues regarding to the theme, so I wrote some, with a little exercise down below. I hope hints in the exercise don't offend you if that's your country, I try to make them interesting. You're of course free to change it per your reference. And as always, I hope this is helpful.

Where are you from? Dialogues and an Exercise

One of the mid-term tests I prepared for my students. It contains five exercises from various units we've covered so far (question words, plural forms, countries/ nationalities, prepositons of place and the structure (there is, there are, etc)). For 4th grade students. 

Grammar and Vocabulary Test (Mid-Term), 4th grade

Use this activitiy to exercise your student's writing skills. It focuses on expressing where one is from and what their personality and general appearance is like, from a very contextualize writing proposal. 



Students may struggle a little to read the textual proposal out, since it has words that they don't know. Teachers might pre-teach the vocabulary or read the text with the students, exploring the meanings of the words and other stuff they notice students need to be introduced to. 



With this activity, students will be able to

- express personal origins;

- exercise forms of the verb to be; 

- exercise uses of possessive adjectives; 

- exercise uses of the vocabulary about countries and nationalities;

- exercise uses of adjectives about personality and appearance;

- exercise creativity.
