This lesson plan is for a 7th grade beginner English class with 25 students. The 50-minute lesson focuses on teaching students to talk about objects in rooms using the phrases "there is/are" and prepositions like "on", "under", "next to", etc. The lesson includes warming students up by having them talk about objects in the teacher's living room. Students will then complete a chart labeling objects as being in the living room, kitchen or both. Next, they will use prepositions to describe objects in a picture. Finally, students will read sentences about a bedroom and identify them as true or false. The goal is for students to practice describing rooms and objects within them.

• Assessment: their ability to describe a room.
• Teaching approach: Communicative.

the board, what day is it today? Friday, and the number is...26th, good.

today's lesson.
- You know, in my free time I want to relax, watch TV, read a book…and I
do this in my living room. Look at this picture, this is my living room.
- In my living room there is a sofa, there is an armchair, there is a table in
front of the sofa, there is a rug under the table, there is a lamp next to the
armchair and there are two pictures behind the sofa. Very nice, right?

are placed in the living room, others in the kitchen, and other in both of
them. So, write the words in the correct column. Let’s start.

of them? Don’t say it out loud, we’ll check it later.

“both”.
Activity 3 (10’)

9. To check the sentences, I’ll select different students at random so they read
them and the rest listen and check with their own answers.
Activity 4 (9’)
- Now open your books on page 23 please. Look at exercise 1, that girl is
Suzie, and that’s her bedroom. Look at the picture and read the sentences
from 1 to 10 and state if they are true (v) or false (x).

10. Again, to check for the answers, each student will read a different sentence
and the rest must listen to see if they were right or wrong.
