Lead-in, Vocabulary, Matching
This A2 pre-intermediate lesson on daily technology begins with a 3-2-1 lead-in activity where students write down three devices they use every day, two old devices that are no longer in use, and one question about technology to ask a classmate or teacher. Next, they move to the vocabulary page, where they’ll see pictures of various common devices and guess what each one is. The lesson includes many slides, with answers provided after each picture. After this, students complete a matching task, pairing devices with their functions, with helpful emojis making the activity more accessible and engaging.
Reading, Listening, Writing
In the practice section, which includes reading, listening, and writing activities, students first read two short stories. The first story is about Sarah and her simple day, where students read and answer questions related to devices and technology. The second reading, a longer one, is about John, and students must choose the correct words as they read. Afterward, they move on to the listening page, where they listen to sentences and decide if they’re true or false. The teacher can replay the audio as needed. The final practice activity is writing, where students create five more true or false sentences, read them aloud to their classmates or teacher, and let them decide which ones are correct.
Questions, Homework
The final two slides consist of discussion questions and homework. You can cover as many questions as you like, with topics including smart devices, favorite devices, and how technology helps with homework. There’s also a question about using older technologies like the abacus. The last slide features a homework assignment where students interview a family member or friend about their favorite device and write a short report. The length of the report is flexible, allowing you to adjust or modify the homework as needed.
