Mini ESL unit about summer holidays and tropical destinations. It includes 5 reading passages about summer holiday destination (Mauritius, Fiji, Tenerife, Greece, Madagascar). Students will read but also solve vocabulary puzzles and write postcards. Very engaging but also full of content.
►LEARNING OUTCOMES◄
GENERAL: Students will learn plenty of new vocabulary words through engaging and challenging activities. They will work individually, in pairs or in small groups to include variety in lesson dynamics.
SPECIFIC: This mini unit is all about spectacular holiday destination. The 5 articles are about Mauritius, Fiji, Tenerife, Greece and Madacascar. Students will learn about tourist attractions and the beauties of such places. They will engage in 5 different activities to learn new vocabulary words. After that they will write postcards.
I have organized my class into 5 teams around 5 stations, having one article each. Students had between 10 to 15 minutes to complete one task before moving to the next stations. My students have really enjoyed this activity and it turned quite competitive after the first round!
