The lesson plan aims to teach 6th grade students about healthy habits and food. It will begin with an energizing song and calendar activity. Students will then look at pictures of food and describe them to practice listening skills. They will complete a survey and textbook exercises to discuss their own habits and create a text about a healthy life. Students will work in pairs, describing food cards to their peers who try to guess the items, practicing speaking and listening. For homework, students will decode an exercise about food. The lesson emphasizes vocabulary, present simple tense, adverbs of frequency, and functions like food preferences to build language skills while increasing cultural awareness of health.
