The lesson plan aims to have students discuss and write about their beliefs in ghosts based on a Halloween reading. It includes various warm up and activities such as asking students what they know about ghosts, having students make words from "superstition", passing out a true/false exercise and reading comprehension articles about ghosts and Halloween, and filling in gaps of the Halloween text in groups. The lesson concludes by collecting the students' work.
