Travel Brochures: Highlighting the Setting of a Story
- Resources & Preparation
- Instructional Plan
- Related Resources
Imagine the images and detailed descriptions of the places depicted in a book you've read recently—whether a far-away land, a historical location, or a city just like the one you live in. Settings transport readers to these places, inviting them to consider what it would be like to visit these locations personally. This lesson plan takes that imaginary tourism one step further by asking students to create a travel brochure for locations in texts that they have read. The activity requires students to think about and collect the details mentioned in the text that should be highlighted and conduct additional research on the location as they design their own brochures. This lesson plan uses Al Capone Does My Shirts by Gennifer Choldenko as the example; however, any text in any genre would work well.
Featured Resources
Travel Brochure Rubric : Use this rubric to evaluate the organization, ideas, conventions, and graphics of travel brochures students have created. Recording the Setting Bookmark : Students use this reproducible sheet, which can be cut into bookmarks, to record details about a story's setting as the read. Printing Press : Use this online tool to create a newspaper, brochure, booklet, or flyer. Students choose a layout, add content, and then print out their work.
From Theory to Practice
Often, students end a unit of study by writing a traditional research paper. While this is a good way for students to summarize what they have learned, it may not be the most interesting. Beyond that, it frequently results in summary and rote repetition rather than deep critical thinking. In this lesson plan, students go through the research process, but will take that information and turn it into a travel brochure. In her English Journal article, Janet Northrup says, "Unlike a research paper that usually has two readers, the teacher and the student, a pamphlet encourages ownership of a topic, a topic which each student knows will be shared with (and taught to) others. Also, class members develop research skills. They learn how to find information, develop a sense of voice and audience, write an arguable thesis statement, select relevant facts, create an interesting layout, and edit carefully." This project will meet the needs of both students and the teacher. Further Reading

- Test the Printing Press on your computers to familiarize yourself with the tools and ensure that you have the Flash plug-in installed. You can download the plug-in from the technical support page.
Student Objectives
Students will
- learn what makes a good travel brochure by examining commercial brochures.
- think critically about text details from a text they have read.
- create a travel brochure that incorporates research skills and text details.
Session One
- Where did they go?
- How did their families decide to go to these places?
- What kinds of brochures, travel guides, books, and/or advertisements did their families explore before traveling?
- If students have experience with travel guides and travel brochures, invite them to share what they remember about them.
- Explain that the class is going to create travel brochure about one of the texts that students have read, focusing primarily on the setting of the story.
- Display a variety of travel brochures. Provide time for students to look through the brochures, in groups, pairs or individually. Ask them to pay attention to layout, the highlighted features, illustrations, and the style of the included text.
- Are there maps? photos? diagrams? other illustrations?
- What kind of language and vocabulary is used?
- How is text presented? paragraphs? bulleted lists?
- Are there specific places highlighted? What kind?
- Ask the students if they would like to visit any of the places in the brochures. If the students answer affirmatively, ask them to share what in the brochures made them want to visit. If students answer negatively, ask them to share why they would not like to visit that locale.
- Have students brainstorm what make an effective travel brochure. Record their responses on the board or on chart paper. Some answers may be the pictures, the supporting text, the quotes from visitors, and so forth.
- Explain that while the pictures and photos are added bonuses on travel brochures, the text plays an important role in persuading people to visit a certain place.
- Review persuasive writing with students: In a persuasive writing piece, students begin by determining their goal or thesis. They then identify three reasons to support their argument, and three facts or examples to validate each reason. The Persuasion Map Planning Sheet makes a good visual for the students.
- Brainstorm the kinds of information students need to include in their travel brochure. Record this information on the board. You can also refer to the Things to Include in a Travel Brochure handout.
- Show the students the Travel Brochure Rubric so they know the requirements for the project.
- Once students know the expectations for the assignment, ask them to choose a text for their brochures. Try not to have too many students using the same text. This lesson plan uses Al Capone Does My Shirts by Gennifer Choldenko as the example.
Session Two
- When all of the students have selected a text for the project, invite them to revisit the text to look for examples and passages about the setting.
- Demonstrate how to use the Recording the Setting Bookmark to note the examples from the text. Display the example bookmark and discuss the details that are included.
- Pass out copies of the Recording the Setting Bookmark for students to use.
- Give students the rest of the session to collect details from their books.
- As students examine their texts for examples, circulate through the room. This is a good time to take observational notes or ask students questions as they are working.
Session Three
- Once students have found examples from their text about the setting, explain that it’s time for them to conduct research on the setting using the Internet, reference materials, magazines, newspapers, etc. Students can visit Notes from the Road and Travel & Cultures for information on many areas of the world. If the students are using a Science Fiction or Fantasy text, they may have a more difficult time with the research. In that case, they should rely more on their findings in the text.
- Invite students to record their research findings on the Things to Include in a Travel Brochure handout. Share with them the example research notes .
- As students are researching, help as needed.
- Briefly demonstrate the Printing Press for students. Show the students how they can use the tool to create their finished product. Place students’ emphasis on thinking about the content for the brochures and flyers, as the Printing Press will make the process of making the final product a simpler one.
- You can also share with the students an example setting brochure of a book that the class has read so they can see what they can include in their own brochures.
Session Four
- After students have gathered clues from their texts as well as completed research on their setting, they are ready to begin working on creating their travel brochures, highlighting the setting of a text using the Printing Press .
- Assist students as needed.
- Remind students that they cannot save their work on the Printing Press so they will need to work diligently on their project.
Session Five
- Once all of the students have completed their brochures using the Printing Press , allow time for the students to share their brochures with the rest of the class.
- Assess the students work using the rubric .
- Instead of making a travel brochure about their setting, students could design a postcard highlighting one of the locations mentioned in their text. Students can publish this postcard using the Postcard Creator .
- Pairing the brochures with the text they accompany would make a good classroom or library display.
Student Assessment / Reflections
- For formal assessment, use the rubric . Additionally, you can ask students to freewrite on the following reflective question: After completing this activity, what role do you think the setting plays in a text? Will you pay more attention to the setting now that you have completed this activity?
- Informal assessment can come from observations, interviews, and examination of the students' bookmarks and notes.
- Lesson Plans
- Calendar Activities
- Student Interactives
- Professional Library
Students read a section from On the Road that deals with cross-country travel and reflects Kerouac's unique writing style. Students then attempt to write a narrative using Kerouac's stream-of-consciousness style.
The interactive Printing Press is designed to assist students in creating newspapers, brochures, and flyers.

If you need some fresh, new ideas for the ESL travel and holiday unit that you can find in most textbooks, then you’re in the right place. We’ll share our top ideas for games and activities, along with travel vocabulary, worksheets and lesson plans. Let’s get to it!
ESL holiday and travel-themed activities
Let’s get into everything you need to know for an ESL holiday lesson. Keep on reading!
ESL Travel and Holiday Activities
#1: plan a trip.
Have your students plan a dream vacation in English! Instead of researching in their first language, use Google in English. In order to practice writing, keep notes only in English. Here’s an example of how you might plan your trip using English. You can have your students add as little, or as much detail as you’d like. However, the point of the activity is to practice writing in point form which is useful when writing outlines for tests or essays.
Day 1: Monday, January 1
Day 2: Tuesday, January 2
Stay Hotel ABC Tour Stanley Park Eat Pub XYZ dinner
Day 3: Wednesday, January 3
Check out Hotel ABC Rent car Budget 123 Drive Whistler Rent skis shop ABC Go Skiing Lunch ski lodge Check in Hotel ABC Whistler Bed early
Procedure for one of my favourite ESL travel activities:
- Give students time to do some Internet research about a place they want to go. It’s helpful to specify the number of days. I generally make a rule that they must do this research in English. Suggest some helpful websites where they might like to start (Trip Advisor, Air BnB, etc.).
- Students can make a day-by-day itinerary of what they’re trip is going to look like.
- They can share about their trip with the class or turn it in for a graded assignment.

#2: A-Z Alphabet Game
If you know that your students already know a fair bit about holiday and travel, you may want to try this quick warm-up game. Or, you could consider using it as a review game at the end of a class.
The way it works is that students, in pairs or small groups write down the alphabet on a piece of paper. Then, they have to think of one travel related word for each letter. It doesn’t have to be done in order. For example:
P: Passport
The winner is the team with the most completed letters at the end of the allotted time. Do you want to find out more? Check this out: A-Z Alphabet Game ESL .
#3: Travel Word Association
This is nice ESL activity to do if you know that your students have studied about travel and holidays before. They can shout out vocabulary words related to this and you can make a mind map or sorts on the board. Group similar things together. For example, articles of clothing.
Find out more about this quick ESL warmer right here: ESL Vocabulary Word Association.

#4: Postcards
If you can get your hands on some cheap postcards or have some laying around your house or teacher’s office, try out this fun writing activity. It may just be the novelty factor, but students seem to love it. This activity is ideal for working on common greetings, the past tense (more ideas here: ESL past tense games ), and using descriptive words, as well as using synonyms to avoid repetition.
Distribute the postcards to the students. You can do one per student, or put the students into pairs. They have to look at the picture on the front of the postcard and imagine that they went on this vacation. Then, they can write about their trip to a friend or family member.
Next, the students trade postcards with another student or group. After reading them, they can write a response back of at least a few sentences. Finally, you may want to display them around the class as they’re colourful and fun and other students may enjoy reading them!
- Give each student or pair a postcard. They look at the picture and imagine what they did on that vacation, and then pretend that they’re writing to a friend or family member.
- Exchange postcards and another student or group have to write a response to what they read.
- Display the postcards around your classroom (optional).
#5: Travel or Holiday Videos
I’m ALL about using videos with my ESL/EFL students. They’re fun, engaging and a nice way to grab student’s attention and introduce a topic. Of course, you can base an entire class around one too if you design the activities well.
If you want to find out more about using them in your classes and some activities and games to do with them, you’ll want to check this out: Using Videos for Teaching English .
#6: Dictogloss
This is a challenging activity that works on listening and writing skills. Find a short story related to holiday or travel. It could even be a description of your own vacation that you took recently.
Then, you read out the story to your students in a way that is a bit challenging for them to catch every word. Students have to take notes and then try to reconstruct what they heard based on their notes in small groups. You can read it again so that students have a chance to make some additions or corrections. Finally, students compare their version with the original.
Do you want to try it out with your students? You can learn more about one of the best ESL travel activities here: ESL Dictogloss Activity .
#7: Holidays ESL Lesson Plan
It’s easy to plan an ESL lesson about any topic, including holidays. Check out this video for the steps to follow:
#8: Yes/No Questions and Answers
If you think about it, holidays and travel lend themselves to a ton of yes/no questions. For example:
- Did you fly or drive?
- Did you eat some delicious things?
- Was the food good?
- Did you have nice weather?
If you want to see some activities or games to work on these kinds of questions, you’ll want to check this out: Yes/No Activities and Games.
- 278 Pages - 07/12/2020 (Publication Date)
#9: ESL Food Activities and Games
I’m not sure if it’s the same for you, but when I travel, it’s ALL about the food. I want to try all the delicious things where I’m staying! The good news is that I have a ton of fun, interactive games and activities for food. You can easily adapt most of them to focus on holidays.
You can find out more details here: ESL Food Activities.
#10: ESL Surveys
I love to use surveys in my classes because they lend themselves to just about any topic. In the case of travel, they’re ideal for working on the present perfect and simple past together.
For example:
Have you ever travelled to another country?
Where did you go?
If you want to know more about how to design and use surveys in your classes for an ESL travel lesson, then you’ll want to check this out: Surveys for ESL Students.
ESL Travel Games and Activities
I also love to use ESL surveys to get students to express an opinion in English.
#11: Present Perfect Activities Related to Travel
The present perfect is often used to talk about vacations, travel and holidays. For example:
- Have you ever been to another country?
- Have you travelled to ______ before?
In order to incorporate this grammatical construction into some of your lesson, you’ll want to check this out: Present Perfect ESL Activities.
#12: Brochure Scanning
This is an excellent travel activity! You’ll have to get your hands on some travel brochures first. The way it works is that students get tons of practice with a reading sub-skill (scanning) because they have to look quickly through the brochures to find specific bits of information. For example, cost or number or days.
Do you want to try out this reading activity? You can find out all the details here: Brochure Scanning Reading Activity for ESL .
#13: Odd One Out ESL Warmer
This is a quick English warm-up activity that you can try out with your students. The way it works is that you write words, in groups of 4 on the board. 3 are similar and 1 is the odd one out. Students have to choose this one and say why it doesn’t fit. For example:
Bathing suit, sunglasses, boots, flip-flops
Answers: Boots because it’s not for a beach vacation. I accept many different answers as long as students support it well.
You can learn more about this ESL warm-up here: Odd One Out for ESL .
- 87 Pages - 10/24/2019 (Publication Date)
#14: Would you Rather?
I’m sure you’ve done this before with friends. You have to choose between two negative things, or two positive things. For example, how you want to die, or what you want to eat. In this case, students could choose between two types of vacation. For example:
Would you rather have a beach or forest vacation?
Would you rather stay in a big hotel, or an AirBNB?
Learn more about this nice activity for an ESL travel lesson here: ESL Would You Rather?
- 81 Pages - 06/22/2021 (Publication Date)
#15: Task Based Activity: Dream Vacation
I love to incorporate this style of teaching into my holiday lessons. It allows students more freedom to choose what they want to learn about and also builds opportunities for some serious teamwork.
In this case, I’ll have students work in groups of 2-3 to plan a dream vacation. They can do some research to find out all the details including how to get there, food, budget, where to stay, etc. Then, they either have to write a report and hand it in to me and/or do a short presentation to the class.
Need some more ideas for this style of a lesson? Check this out: Task-Based Learning .
#16: Travel Themed Charades
I love to play charades with my students. The way it works is that you can think of some travel-related phrases. For example:
- Flying on a plane
- Sleeping on a bus
- Eating noodles
- Buying souvenirs
Then, students have to act this out and their teammates have to guess what the phrase is. More details here: ESL Charades.
#17: Postcards ESL Writing Activity
If you have some old blank postcards laying around or can get your hands on a stack of them for cheap, consider trying out this fun English writing activity. Find out all the details you need to know right here:
Postcard Writing Activity for ESL .
Travel and Holidays ESL
#18: Eliciting in an ESL Travel Lesson
Unless your students are absolute beginners, then it’s likely that they already know a good amount of travel and holiday vocabulary. That’s often why I like to start off my ESL traveling lesson by using some eliciting techniques. There are two main reasons for this.
The first reason is that it’s possible to find out what the students already know about this topic to avoid wasting class time covering these things. The second is that it helps students activate their prior knowledge about travel/holidays to make the new things they learn more memorable. Learn how to do this tactic for an ESL holiday lesson here:
ESL Eliciting Advice .
#19: Travel Listening Lesson
A nice way to talk about any topic is through a listening lesson. In this case, find a conversation between two people talking about an upcoming vacation plan. Or, someone talking about a favourite vacation from the past (it could even be you). Then, design an entire listening lesson around that. Find out how here:
#20: Idiom ESL Traveling Activity
There are lots of idioms related to holidays, travel and transportation. Here are just a few of them:
- All hands on deck
- To send flying
- Bump in the road
- Off the rails
- Train wreck
- Asleep at the wheel
- Fall off the wagon
- Hit the road
One of the best ways to make these idioms super memorable is to do this fun activity. Afterwards, your students will never forget! Learn more about this ESL activity:
Idiom Activity for Language Learners .
#21: Concentration ESL Traveling Vocabulary
One of the best ways to review new words during an ESL holiday or travel lesson is to play this memory game. Depending on the level of the students, make some matching pairs of cards with the following:
- Word/picture
- Word/definition
- Word/clue about the word
Then in small groups, students play the game to find the matches. Find out all the details about how to set it up and play:
ESL Concentration Game .
#22: Speaking Fluency Activity
To use this activity with a unit on holidays or travel, have students talk about a past, or upcoming vacation.
#23: Me Too!
Students have to make a true statement about themselves related to holidays and travelling. For example:
- I’ve been to Japan.
- I hate the beach.
- My family goes on a big vacation every summer.
If other students can agree, they stand up and say, “Me too!”
Travel and Holiday Vocabulary
Here are some of the most common vocabulary words that you may want to teach your students related to traveling for an ESL holiday lesson.
- bathing suit
- boarding pass
- vaccination
- The months of the year in English

This English lesson plan helps reinforce vocabulary related to traveling by asking students to plan trips and excursions based on the profile of different groups of travelers. It is helpful to use local newspapers, especially newspapers that provide local events, to give students ideas of real places to visit. Most large cities have specialty newspapers that focus on local events and attractions available for free throughout the city.
Instructions for Teachers
The lesson begins with students deciding which types of groups are going to take a trip. Based on which group of travelers are going, students then use resources to plan out a short stay in a specific city or area of the country. Of course, you can choose to have students focus on distant locations. If you are teaching English in another country, it's probably best to vary this and focus on traveling abroad to allow the use of English place names.
Lesson Aims: Completing a small group task using the internet and other resources available in English, describing a travel destination and itinerary in detail
Activity: Planning a short trip to a specific location based on different traveler types
Level: Intermediate
Lesson Plan
As a class, discuss what types of locations, travel plans, etc. might be suitable for these different types of travelers:
- A married couple on a honeymoon
- Two friends who are attending college
- Two business people
As a class, discuss which resources students can use to make travel plans. There are many travel websites online that offer all the necessary tools for scheduling a trip. If available, use a projector and walk through the process of finding round trip flight tickets and hotels on a travel site.
Using the worksheet below, break students up into pairs or small groups (maximum of 4) assigning a pair of travelers to each group. Have students come up with detailed plans for each travel group. After each group has finished, have them present their travel plans to the entire class.
Variation: To extend this activity, ask students to create a presentation using PowerPoint or another similar software application. Students should find photos and write up bullet points for each of the activities to include in the presentation .
Plan a Trip to ___________ for the Following Travel Groups:
Honeymooners
Mary and Tim have just married and are in the mood for a great honeymoon to celebrate their eternal love for each other. Make sure to include lots of romantic options and some excellent meals to mark this happy event.
College Friends
Alan and Jeff are attending college together and are looking to have a wild week of fun and adventure. They love going to clubs and partying hard, but they don't have a lot of money to eat at fine restaurants.
Cultured Couples
The Andersons and the Smiths are married couples that have been friends for years. Their children are grown up and have their own families. Now, they enjoy traveling together and place a great deal of emphasis on visiting sights of cultural significance. They also love going to concerts and eating fine food.
Business People
These business people are interested in opening up a new company at your chosen location. They need to find out about the area, meet local business people, and discuss their proposal with local government.
Family with Children
The McCarthur family has three children aged 2, 5, and 10. They love spending time outdoors and have a limited budget for eating out. They aren't interested in entertainment, but the parents like to take the children to important museums to help with their cultural education.
Peter and Dan
Peter and Dan married a few years ago. They love to explore gay hot spots in cities they travel to, as well as do traditional sight-seeing tours. They are also gourmets who spend up to $500 on good meals, so they'd like to go to at least one top rated restaurant.

LESSON OVERVIEW
This free ESL lesson plan on travel has been designed for adults and young adults at an intermediate (B1/B2) to advanced (C1/C2) level and should last around 45 to 60 minutes for one student.
Whether it’s exploring new places, or relaxing in familiar ones, everyone loves travelling. In fact, many people learning English are doing so for that exact reason. In the past, travelling to exotic locations was only for the super-rich. Now, with the expansion of budget airlines and cheap packages, the world is a lot more accessible to a lot more people. In this ESL lesson plan on travel, students will have the opportunity to discuss and express their opinions on issues such as how much they like travelling, the best places they have visited and different forms of travel.
This lesson plan could also be used with your students to debate these issues for World Tourism Day , which takes place in September. For more lesson plans on international days and important holidays, see the calendar of world days to plan your classes for these special occasions.
For advice on how to use this English lesson plan and other lesson plans on this site, see the guide for ESL teachers .
PRE-CLASS ACTIVITIES
Reading activity Before the English class, send the following article to the students and ask them to read it while making a list of any new vocabulary or phrases they find (explain any the students don’t understand in the class):
World of Wanderlust | The Top 25 Best Destinations in the World
The article provides descriptions of some of the most visited tourist destinations in the world. At the start of the class, hold a brief discussion about what the students thought about the article. Have the students visited any of these places? If so, what did they think about them? Which of the places on the list would they most like to visit and why? Can they think of any of the destinations that should not be on the list? Which other destinations should be on a list of the best destinations in the world?
Video activity To save time in class for the conversation activities, the English teacher can ask the students to watch the video below and answer the listening questions in Section 3 of the lesson plan at home. There are intermediate listening questions and advanced listening questions so teachers can decide which would be more appropriate for their students. Check the answers in the class.
The video for this class is called “The Point of Travel” by The School of Life which views travel as a kind of therapy that can help us with our emotional state of mind.

The focus in the class is on conversation in order to help improve students’ fluency and confidence when speaking in English as well as boosting their vocabulary.
This lesson opens with a short discussion about the article the students read before the class. Next, the students can give their opinion on the quote at the beginning of the lesson plan – what they think the quote means and if they agree with it. This is followed by an initial discussion on the topic including the benefits of travel, the student’s favourite holiday/vacation and the best places to spend a holiday/vacation in their country.
After this, students will learn some vocabulary connected with travel such as backpacking , off the beaten path/track and bucket list . This vocabulary has been chosen to boost the students’ knowledge of less common vocabulary that could be useful for preparing for English exams like IELTS or TOEFL. The vocabulary is accompanied by a cloze activity and a speaking activity to test the students’ comprehension of these words. This may also be a good time to explain the difference between travel, trip and journey , as these words are often confused by students
If the students didn’t watch the video before the class, they can watch it after the vocabulary section and answer the listening questions. Before checking the answers, ask the students to give a brief summary of the video and what they thought about the content.
Finally, there is a more in-depth conversation about travel. In this speaking activity, students will talk about issues such as the different types of holiday/vacation people like to go on, how much they like to plan for a trip and the attraction of solo travel.
After the class, students will write about their opinion of travel. This could be a short paragraph or a longer piece of writing depending on what level the student is at. The writing activity is designed to allow students to practise and improve their grammar with the feedback from their teacher. For students who intend to take an international English exam such as IELTS or TOEFL, there is an alternative essay question to practise their essay-writing skills.

Teaching Ideas for Brochure-Making With a Rubric
Planning stage of a brochure.
Brochures are a versatile project that can be used in a variety of classroom, such as language arts, social studies, science, math, health, drama, etc. If students can fold a piece of paper in thirds and concisely write their information on it with art, they can make a brochure. It can be completed on the computer or without the aid of the computer. Elementary students can make them as well as high school students.
Materials Needed : Have the following available: paper, colored pencils, markers, photos, artwork, a computer, color printer and access to the Internet. Students can make the brochure without a computer, too. It can all be completed by hand or partially completed by hand and computer.
Students Brainstorm and Plan Brochure
Step 2 : Make a draft of the six panels. There are three panels on each side of the paper. It can be folded many ways, but the six panels need to be planned out on a piece of notebook paper.
Other Five Panels: Display information with subtitles, pictures, clip art, and designs.
Note : Many younger students want to place too much text or too many pictures on each panel. They key is to have no more than three sub-topics per panel. One or two is usually the best. Also, students need to work on writing concisely so that there is some white space (area without text or pictures) on each panel.
Constructing the Brochure
If students are not using the computer, they need to neatly write their information on each panel and glue photos or clip art to the brochure.
Assessing the Brochure with a Rubric
The brochure can be assessed using a rubric . Again, key criteria could be accuracy, neatness, creativity and colorful.
This is just one example of a rubric. There are many on this free website .

This looks like a great lp. I plan on doing it this week with my 8th gr. RR class. Thanks
I hope it works out. What is RR?
It’s very useful for me. Thanks.
Sorry, but Odessa is aside from the Crimea and linked with it by a ferry.
Thanks. I’ve updated the lesson plans.
Thanks, it worked out perfectly. But it took more than a 2h class to finish it.
This plan is great!! Went down a treat. Had a lot of fun. Thanks.
WoW! very useful for me. Thank You so MUCH!!!!
Great lesson plan, thank you.
Great lesson plan. helpful
thanks alot
I have written the sentences.
This plan looks interesting. Will I teach it to two students in approx. 60 minutes? Thank you in advance for your replying.
You’ll be able to cover half of it in an hour. If I were you, I’d pick the most interesting parts. Also, the world has changed since 2012 so some of the information is outdated.
Where is the 2010 list of most visited countries? I can’t find it.
2010 Tourism Ranking: France (76.8m), US, China, Spain, Italy, UK, Turkey, Germany, Malaysia, Mexico (22.4m)
The discussion questions are a good idea. I’ll make use of them thanks!

Use of verbs ‘have had’ and its grammatical explanation, like in this sentence ‘I’ve had this before ‘ and in some other instances. I need your help to give a clear idea to my students as well.

What are your travelling tips? (modal verbs)
Grammar - modal verbs
LESSON OVERVIEW
Thanks to this worksheet, students will discover and practise modal verbs ( can, have to, should ) , watch a video and discuss different travelling tips and rules .
The worksheet starts with a warm‐up activity. Students get three photos and have to think of four words connected with them. Then, using the words they’ve come up with, they describe the photos . After that, they get two questions about travelling and their preference when it comes to spending holidays.
VIDEO & MODAL VERBS
First, students watch the first part of the video and say what it is about. That first part includes three tips for travelling cheap and based on them we created three short texts with tips. Student read the tips and choose correct words to complete the rules for using modal verbs ( can, have to, should ). It is a typical discovery technique . Next, they practise the modal verbs by doing one more task. What’s more, before watching the second part of the video, students discuss how they can save some money in given areas when travelling and use modal verbs: can/can’t, have to/don’t have to, should/shouldn’t . Then, the watch the second part and mark which things the speaker talks about.
The speaking part of this worksheet consists of two activities . First, students complete a few questions with the words that come from the video (e.g. destination, spots, locals , etc.) and then, discuss them. In the next activity, they choose a topic and give tips and rules by completing the sentences with the modal verbs. There are six topics to choose from.

Thank you, it’s so nice to hear that 🙂
This is a really great lesson especially for lower levels. Everyone loves talking about holidays and holiday plans and so it’s a great way to get them talking. A real plus is the grammar element which doesn’t frighten grammar shy learners as you can really get them to use the modal very. An excellent lesson-more like this please 🙂
Whoops I can’t edit- I of course meant modal verbs!!!
Thank you so much for such positive feedback! The most important thing is that students are eager to talk and practise grammar structures in speaking 🙂
