The document provides guidance for designing a lesson to teach students to describe places where they would like to live using various adjectives. It includes pre-activity, while-activity, and post-activity sections. The pre-activity involves asking students about their ideal place to live and words to describe places. The while-activity consists of watching videos, showing pictures, reading vocabulary words, and taking notes. The post-activity has exercises matching pictures to words, writing descriptions of places to live, discussing places visited in pairs, and students presenting to the class.
