Beginning 5 min | (P, G, W) Warm-up Put learners in pairs or groups. Show them the pictures of different geographical objects and ask them to write names for each. If learners do not know some of them, they can skip. Ask learners to compare their answers with the keys. Teach the words they do not know. Show the picture, ask concept-checking questions and drill pronunciation if necessary. Show learners pictures of the Seven nature wonders in the world. Elicit from learners if they have any background knowledge about these places. Ask learners if they are familiar with the idea of the Seven nature wonders in the world | Power Point Presentation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQAY5SzUkA4 |
Middle 10 min 10 min 10 min | (P, W) Pre-listening Learners look at the picture of the Seven nature wonders in the world try to answer the following questions: Where is it located? How many wonders do you know?? Which natural wonder would you like to see? Where can you see it? (I, P, W) Listening Learners watch the video about the national park and write down information which they found interesting or surprising. They should also write down the location, who build it and when. They can watch it with subtitles. Tell learners that it is not important to understand every word. They should understand the overall idea. Learners watch the video again and answer the questions. They can compare their answers with a classmate. You may not play the entire recording, only parts of it. I, P, W) Reading. Learners read the text again and complete the table. Model the first answer. Walk around the class and observe how learners complete the table. If some learners struggle, work with them more individually. If you have time left, group learners together and ask them to compare their table and ask questions. If you do not have time, check answers together with the whole class and then collect their worksheets. Differentiation: you can differentiate by outcome, expecting that less able learners will give short answers not necessarily grammatically correct, while more able learners should give full and clear answers. Learners watch the video again and discuss the questions in groups. Each group takes turns and answers the question. Other groups listen, agree or disagree or add more information if necessary. (W) Discussion - Would you like to visit this place? Why? | Our world map, pictures , video Handout 1 |
