The lesson plan is for a 40-minute CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) class for 5th year elementary students about clothes. The main aims are for students to understand a short story about different customs and feel a sense of global citizenship. Students will revise a story they previously read, listen to an audio of the story, and complete comprehension and sequencing activities in pairs. The teacher anticipates some students may struggle with vocabulary and will provide help.
