[Notes: These are all materials that I used to supplement the lesson The Bedroom (p.20-21) from Oxford Picture Dictionary Content Areas for Kids, and the specific choice of vocabulary in the storybook is influenced by that lesson.  However, I think these materials could be used for any general lesson on describing homes, and so I'm including them here.  If you're using this without the Oxford Picture Dictionary textbook, just omit practice 1 from the lesson plan.  Also, if you'll using this in your own classroom, you'll need to change the lead-in to make it personal for you.]

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)
