This lesson plan aims to teach low-intermediate ESL students about phrasal verbs over two 100-minute periods. In the first period, students will be introduced to phrasal verbs through an online test and discussion. They will then learn about phrasal verb usage from the teacher with the aid of online grammar exercises. In the second period, students will work in groups to analyze a short story, identify the phrasal verbs used, define them, and provide examples. Each group will then present their findings to the class. The goal is for students to improve their understanding of phrasal verbs through interactive online and group activities.
