Lesson 11: At Home

A very fun class!

I began with handing out a short quiz, where the students had to choose their responses in different situations and find out whether they were a polite guest or not. (Of course, the responses were fairly obvious- the point of the quiz was to familiarize them with language surrounding the home).
Are you a polite guest? Quiz

We discussed vocabulary relating to furniture and things around the house, prepositions and colours:

Then, with crayons on hand, we read two letters from pen-pals to each other, describing their houses. They had three minutes to sketch the two houses:

Together we worked on the next exercise- a story of a journalist's studio being broken into- and their task was to spot the differences before she left home and when she got back, writing the differences in short sentences. (I thought this was the best way to test their use of prepositions alongwith the vocabulary they just learned).

The Listening Exercise was alot of fun, because it was based on an Arthur's episode that we watched together while they answered the questions:

Their homework for the day was to write about their dream-home (They are permitted to use the internet or dictionaries to help them in their writing).
