The Lesson Plan
Introduce the lesson:
This lesson builds on the lesson “Advertising.” As a class,
have the students brainstorm ways that advertisements make it to their
hands.

advertisements. Examples are: movies, hospitals, bus stops, etc. As
a class, have the students repeat the words that are written on the
board.
Practice the lesson:
Distribute advertisements that were gathered for this lesson. Students
will individually create lists of words contained in the advertisements
that are unfamiliar to them. After students complete their lists, the
individual lists of the words should be compiled and written on the
chalkboard. Students should note the words that are repeated.
Assess the lesson:
Oral assessment will be made as teacher calls upon individual students
to repeat selected words and phrases. .
Apply the lesson to the real world:
Students will gain an awareness of advertisements as a source of job
hunting, buying a house, etc.
