At the beginning of the lesson, students discuss eight topics in pairs (e.g. art and culture, travelling, science and technology) to find three which they feel similar about. Then, they do a vocabulary task. They need to complete sentences in three sets. The words are provided for each set (e.g. rewarding, accomplishment, eager). They also choose a topic from each of the three sets and tell their partner about it. After that, students look at six lesson topics and predict what they might learn in each and how enthusiastic they would be about participating in the lessons. All the lessons are available on the ESL Brains website, so they can be used with students as a follow-up to this first lesson plan:
