Summary
Students will learn key terms for items and areas within a store, practice asking simple questions to find products, and engage in a role-play activity to simulate a real shopping experience. The lesson combines visual aids, matching exercises, and interactive tasks to build foundational English skills for everyday situations like grocery shopping.
Activities
Students start with a warm-up, discussing food preferences and shopping habits, and describing a picture related to grocery shopping.
Learners match grocery store vocabulary like shopping cart and aisle with their definitions, and then identify these terms and others like price tag while watching a short video. They categorize common food items (apples, milk, bread) into their respective store departments such as produce, dairy, and bakery.
The lesson includes grammar practice on forming simple questions (e.g., "Where is the milk?") and concludes with a fill-in-the-blanks vocabulary exercise and a role-play scenario.
Vocabulary focus
The lesson focuses on essential grocery store vocabulary. Key terms include shopping cart, aisle, shelf, checkout, price tag, self-checkout, receipt, and names of store departments like dairy, bakery, and produce. Students learn to identify and use these words in context to understand and communicate effectively while shopping.
Grammar focus
The grammar focus is on forming simple questions used for asking for help or locating items in a store. Students practice structures like "Where is...?" (e.g., "Where is the milk?") and "Do you have...?" (e.g., "Do you have bread?").
This helps A1 learners build confidence in basic conversational interactions in a shopping context.
