GRADE LEVEL:	SHS 1
SKILLS:	Listening, speaking, reading, writing
TIME:	One class
MATERIALS:	Worksheets, flashcards
OBJECTIVES:	To encourage imaginative responses to questions, to consider foreign places individually, to encourage reading aloud and general speaking skills, to introduce the fairly alien concept of foreign travel

PROCEDURE:

The lesson is split into various activities surrounding the topic of foreign travel. These can be done in any order but if you want to use the attached worksheet I find the following order works best.
Start with a little introduction to foreign travel, show off a little bit! We are all well traveled and 99% of your students won’t have left Japan so spark their interest, they will enjoy the lesson more and so will you.
Start with the dictation on the worksheet. I won’t insult you with telling you which words go where! I am sure you can guess!
Get your students to do the second activity in pairs. Show the flash cards when you are going through the answers.
Ask the class the two questions on the worksheet and let them think about it for a few minutes. Ask a few students their answers. You probably won’t have time for everyone. If they don’t have an answer written down I would move on straight away.
If you have time, get the students to practice the dialogue in pairs, I try and avoid chorus reading if possible but one of my schools insists on it. You have a dialogue you can chorus read with if you have to.
