Detailed Description
This printable ESL lesson plan for B1-B2 intermediate students delves into English conditionals, integrated reading exercises, and themes spanning the Amazon Rainforest to Ancient Rome, and from Outer Space to Paris.
The class begins with a group discussion probing students’ understanding of Conditional Tenses and their travel experiences. This leads onto the first part: ‘Journey to the Amazon Rainforest – Zero Conditional,’ where students are introduced to universal laws or scientific facts using the Zero Conditional.
Next, ‘A Trip to Paris – First Conditional’ introduces possible scenarios based on current circumstances. This gets the students to learn the language while dreaming of delightful Parisian pastries!
After this, let’s take students to the cosmos with the ‘Fantasy Journey to Outer Space – Second Conditional’ section, to teach unreal or unlikely scenarios.
Finally, the ‘Historical Journey to Ancient Rome – Third Conditional’ makes students wonder about different outcomes if the circumstances had been different in the past.
Each conditional section comes with examples, important points to remember, and a series of questions involving creative sentence formulation and comprehension tasks.
