3 . The following is the lesson plan for teaching English based on TED talks and other videos worth watching.
LESSON OVERVIEW
This lesson plan is based on a short video presenting a man who shares experiences from his unusual journey and masters vocabulary in particular travel phrasal verbs. Students will also have a lot of opportunities to speak as they will share their traveling experiences.
TRAVEL PHRASAL VERBS
The worksheet starts with tasks built around travel phrasal verbs. First, students get six sentences and they have to finish them by choosing a correct answer which will reflect the meaning of a given phrasal verb. Next, students complete questions with the correct forms of some of the phrasal verbs from the previous exercise. After that they need to discuss these questions.
QUOTE & VOCABULARY
Then, students move to the next part of the lesson plan. They have a quote by Anthony Bourdain who claims that "Travel isn't always pretty. It isn't always comfortable.….". They need to discuss it and share their opinion about it. Next, they move to a vocabulary task. After that, students have to match halves to create phrases which come from the video and include words from the previous task.
VIDEO & DISCUSSION
The last part of the lesson plan starts with a short lead-in to the video in the form of a discussion about experiences and challenges we can face on a walking adventure. Then, students watch the video and summarize it by using their own words. Finally, to wrap up the lesson, students discuss the walking journey presented in the video and their own attitude towards such traveling.
