Step-by-Step Lesson Plan: Shopping for Everyday Items
Level: Pre-intermediate
Objective: By the end of the lesson, students will be able to ask for, find the price for, and purchase everyday food and clothing items.
Materials Needed:
- Flashcards or images of various food and clothing items
- A whiteboard or chart paper
- Role-play cards with dialogues
Warm-up (Engage): 10 minutes
1. Begin the lesson by showing flashcards or images of different food and clothing items.
2. Ask students to name each item and help with the pronunciation if necessary.
3. Encourage students to share their thoughts on where they usually buy these items and what kind of phrases they might need in a shopping situation.
Presentation (Study): 20 minutes
1. Introduce the "boomerang pattern" to the students (ESA format):
- Engage: Warm-up discussion about shopping
- Study: Explain and practice language related to shopping
- Activate: Role-plays and real-life shopping activities
2. Study Phase:
a. Write the following phrases on the board: "Excuse me, how much is this?" and "Can I try it on?"
b. Clarify the meaning and the structure of each phrase, including the pronunciation.
c. Model and drill the phrases with the whole class, paying attention to correct intonation and stress.
3. Vocabulary Practice:
a. Divide the class into small groups.
b. Distribute flashcards or images to each group.
c. Ask each group to create dialogues using the phrases learned, focusing on asking for prices and checking clothing sizes.
d. Monitor and provide support as needed.
Practice (Activate): 25 minutes
1. Role-playing:
a. Provide each student with a role-play card that includes a shopping scenario, such as buying clothes or grocery shopping.
b. In pairs, students take turns playing the customer and the shopkeeper, using the phrases learned.
c. Encourage students to use additional language like "I'd like to buy..." or "Do you have any other colors/sizes?"
2. Real-Life Shopping Activities:
a. Divide the class into groups of three.
b. Assign one student as the shopkeeper and the other two as customers.
c. Each customer brings an actual item to "sell" or a picture of it and negotiate with the shopkeeper.
d. Students take turns using the target language in a realistic shopping interaction.
e. The groups rotate roles so that all students have the chance to practice.
Wrap-up (Evaluate): 5 minutes
1. Conduct a brief review of the important phrases and structures covered in the lesson.
2. Ask students to share their most challenging or interesting shopping experience and encourage them to share what they've learned.
3. Provide positive reinforcement and address any lingering questions or concerns.
Extension Activity (optional):
Assign homework that involves creating a dialogue for a specific shopping situation, like buying a gift or ordering food at a restaurant. Students can then present their dialogues during the next class.
Lesson Title: Shopping for Everyday Items
Stage 1: Engage
Objective: To elicit students' prior knowledge and create interest in the topic.
1. Start the lesson by showing pictures of different food and clothing items.
2. Engage in a brief whole-class discussion about shopping experiences and the importance of knowing how to ask for and purchase everyday items.
Stage 2: Study
Objective: To introduce and practice the language commonly used for shopping.
1. Teach vocabulary:
- Present and practice vocabulary related to food items (e.g., bread, milk, cheese) and clothing items (e.g., shirt, trousers, shoes).
- Use flashcards, real objects, or visuals to reinforce understanding.
2. Teach language functions:
- Introduce and practice language functions related to asking for and finding the price of items, such as "How much is...?" and "Where can I find...?"
3. Model dialogues:
- Provide model dialogues using the target language.
- Demonstrate how to ask for an item, find the price, and complete a purchase transaction.
Stage 3: Activate
Objective: To provide opportunities for students to practice the target language in authentic situations.
1. Task 1: Asking for and Finding Prices
- Divide the class into pairs.
- Distribute worksheets or cards with images of food and clothing items.
- In their pairs, students take turns asking each other for the prices of the items and responding accordingly.
- Monitor the pairs and provide feedback as necessary.
2. Task 2: Role-Play Shopping Scenario
- Group students into small groups of 3-4.
- Assign each group a role-play scenario where they need to shop for specific items.
- Encourage students to use the target language, including asking for prices, negotiating, and making payments.
- Rotate different scenarios among the groups to ensure variety and active participation.
Stage 4: Boomerang
Objective: To consolidate learning and provide opportunities for further language practice.
1. Task 1: Dialogue Reconstruction
- Provide students with a dialogue that includes language used during the shopping activities.
- Ask students to work individually or in pairs to reconstruct the dialogue, placing the sentences in the correct order.
- Review the reconstruction as a class and address any questions or uncertainties.
2. Task 2: Role Reversal
- Have students switch roles, where the buyers become the sellers and vice versa.
- Students can create their own dialogues and practice conversing as sellers, using the target language and vocabulary.
Stage 5: Conclusion
Objective: To reflect on the learning experience and provide closure.
1. Conduct a brief class discussion on the importance of using appropriate language when shopping.
2. Summarize the key language functions and vocabulary covered in the lesson.
3. Provide students with additional resources (e.g., handouts, online resources) for independent practice.
By following this ESA (Engage-Study-Activate) boomerang pattern lesson plan, pre-intermediate students will have ample opportunities to practice language commonly used for shopping and gain confidence in asking for, finding the price of, and purchasing everyday food and clothing items.
