Unlock 2 -Unit 1 – Places – LS – Vocabulary 2
The lesson starts with a short warm-up. The teacher shows a picture of a city and asks students where the city is located and what area they can see. Students share ideas with a partner. Next, the teacher introduces the new words: located, area, traffic, lake, woods, and field. Students work in pairs and explain the meanings to each other using simple examples.
After that, students complete short activities such as matching words with pictures and choosing the correct word in a sentence. The teacher walks around the class, listens, and helps when needed. Students then use a sentence builder to make true sentences about their own city, for example about traffic, a lake, or nearby woods. Volunteers read their sentences aloud to the class.
To finish the lesson, students play a fun word scramble game in small groups. For homework, students take a photo of a place in their town, such as a field or a busy area, and write one sentence using one of the new words.
