This lesson plan aims to teach 19 beginner level students about aromatic plants and their uses through reading and speaking activities. Students will be divided into groups to read about rosemary, thyme, lavender and mint and complete a chart with each plant's name, uses, characteristics and growth method. Each group will then design a poster explaining their plant and share it with the class. The 45 minute lesson incorporates a greeting, presentation of plant names, two reading and information sharing activities, and an assessment of student understanding through observation and listening during group work.
