Who Lives Here? (1) - June 24, 2019
Paid LessonLesson Collection #3 - Lesson 8a
The purpose of this lesson is to get students involved in imagining or speculating about the trash bag owners, i.e., how many people live in this apartment / house, how old they are, what their names are, what their hobbies are, what jobs they have, what kind of things they like or don't like, what kind of personalities they might have. There are no right or wrong answers, merely hints to guide students' imagination.
Vocabulary development -- there are dozens of common, everyday household items illustrated on this worksheet. See how many students can identify them in English. This is also useful for working with speculative opinions, "I think the person who lives here is a young male because... ".
The answer to Who Lives Here #1 is probably a young, working couple.
Some of the items in the trash are:
a parking ticket
an unfinished crossword puzzle
an empty bottle of sleeping pills
a book titled Popular Children's Names -and-
a bottle of hot tub cleaner
Students can also practice the following phrases:
might be, could be and must be as well as
might have, could have and must have.
There are four delightfully illustrated worksheets in this series. They are:
Who Lives Here? (2) (See Lesson 08b below)
Who Lives Here? (3) (See Lesson 08c below) -and-
Who Lives Here? (4) (See Lesson 08d below).
What Makes Our Lessons Different?
Teachers Save Time
Reduce lesson planning and gain freedom in the classroom. With all students busy, the teacher can casually roam around the classroom and offer assistance wherever needed.
Students Learn by Doing
Minutes after beginning each lesson, classes often become noisy. At times, very noisy. Why? Students, in pairs or small groups, actively engage in completing the lesson task. They use English to learn English.
Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing
Oral communication is important. Listening and speaking have priority in our lessons; students need to carefully listen to each other. Reading is also important for the success of the lessons. The amount of writing required varies.
Fun for Teachers & Students
We believe students learn better when having fun. Our lessons range from silly to serious but each has a solid task-specific educational goal including grammar usage, vocabulary building and fluency improvement to name a few.
