The Nurse's Office Vocabulary

(TESOL Materials--School Vocabulary)

* Slideshow: slides, pub

* Coloring Sheet: docs, pub

I used Gemini Storybook to create the story that is on the slideshow.  However at the time I created this lesson, I was having problems with Gemini Storybook in my personal account.  So I created the storybook with my work account.  I am unable to share stuff created from my work account, but I copied and pasted the images from that account onto the slideshow.  (Unfortunately Gemini Storybook seems to sometimes glitch from time to time.  I'll have several days at a time when it is unusable, and then it will start working again.)

Everyday Clothes Vocabulary

(TESOL Materials--Clothing Vocabulary)

* Lin's Day of Clothes Storybook--Created from this chat here  (Made using Google Gemini Storybook).  [If you look at the chat, you'll notice I messed up the prompt slightly--I said it was the topic of people at work.  This was because of copying and pasting the same prompt from another lesson, and forgetting to change the name of the topic. Thus clothing vocabulary is mixed in with work situations.  But I think it still works.]

Lead-in:

Put on slideshow.  Show picture of me in my bedroom.  Get students to identify people and objects in the classroom, and try to elicit where it is.  (bedroom):

Concept Checking questions: Do we eat in the bedroom?  Do we shower in the bedroom?  What do we do in the bedroom?

Have students identify other objects in picture if not already. (bed, closet, book, picture).

Ask students what else is in a bedroom.

Model text:

Use the Google Gemini Storybook to present/elicit the objects in a bedroom.

Clarification:

Use slideshow to clarify vocabulary.  Present pictures, elicit vocabulary words from students.  Confirm the words.  Then do oral drilling of pronunciation.

Try to elicit additional information about the objects (e.g. color), and try to drill some of the vocabulary in sentences.

Practice 1

Display pages 20-21 of Oxford Picture Dictionary on the projector.  Ask students what things they can see.  Elicit from students the objects in the picture.  Ask additional questions to try to enlarge responses where appropriate.

Give to students a copy of p.20-21.  Have students circle objects in the picture.

Practice 2:

Give out cards to students.  Teacher calls out the card name, and the students have to find the appropriate card.  Possibly get students to come to the front and call out the card.

If there is additional time, do one of the following activities:

• Use the printed flashcards to play “What’s missing?”

• Have students do coloring sheet

• Play hot potato (see here)
