We started the lesson with a guessing activity. The pupils looked at the poster and answered questions like,
- Where do you go when you want to see a film? Is there a cinema in our town?
- Where do you go when you want to play with your friends, ride a bike or swing?
- Where do you go when you want to buy some bread? Is there a bakery near your house?
Then, I informed them that we would switch to the station rotation activity and reminded them what it includes.
In teams, the pupils sat down at different desks with tasks. I informed them that they had to finish their task before moving to the next station clockwise:
- Online Spelling Game: Play an online game to check the spelling of different places.
- Building Description: Read descriptions and stick different buildings where they belong on a map.
- Place Guessing Game: Play an online game to guess the correct place based on clues.
- Dialogue Practice: Order the dialogue and act out a situation in the street to practice giving directions.
- Neighbourhood Design: Design a perfect neighbourhood in 3D or as a physical poster.
Finally, I asked my pupils to use small pieces of paper and write something they liked on one side, with a heart or a plus, and something they would change or improve on the other side.
As a follow-up, I asked them to complete the tasks in their books related to places in the town.
