A2 ESL lesson "Where Is It?" — prepositions of place and town vocabulary with a Sherlock mystery

Places in Town Vocabulary

Students are introduced to places in town (e.g. bakery, train station, hospital) through visuals, matching tasks and contextual definitions. The lesson unfolds as a story featuring Sherlock Holmes and his cat Morty, engaging learners in city-related vocabulary while solving a mystery.

Prepositions of Place: Exercises in Context

The grammar focus is on prepositions of place (e.g. on, in, under, between). Learners see them in visual context and complete image-based tasks and gap-fill exercises. A short narrative continues, reinforcing the prepositions through storytelling and location clues.

Speaking and Writing: Describing Where Things Are

Students practise describing where things and people are, comparing places around them, and talking about their own city. Writing activities guide them to use correct prepositions and town vocabulary in full sentences.

Interactive Homework: Video and Error Correction

The lesson concludes with a TED-Ed video about Sherlock Holmes, grammar revision with preposition error correction, and a creative task: imagine and explain important places in a new town.
