A2 ESL lesson — Let's get to know each other: Present Simple and personality vocabulary
VOCABULARY AND STORY
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.
GRAMMAR AND DISCUSSION
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
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.
