Description

Join Penny, Zack, Luna, and Jax as they celebrate Friendsgiving together in a simple, heartwarming story designed for beginner readers. Through the story, learners explore themes of friendship, gratitude, and sharing while practicing essential English skills.

The lesson begins with a vocabulary warm-up activity called “What Do You See?”, in which bright visuals introduce key Thanksgiving words such as turkey, pie, corn, family, friends, and happy. These visuals help students build confidence before moving into reading and speaking activities.

Students then practice sentence-building and personal expression through fun writing tasks that use the structures “I like…” and “I don’t like…”. Fill-in-the-blank exercises and short writing prompts help learners express their preferences clearly and simply.

Grammar is reinforced naturally through examples that show how to use “I like…” and “I don’t like…” with both nouns and verbs, helping students connect vocabulary to real communication.

Interactive games keep students engaged while reviewing vocabulary and comprehension. Activities include:

• iSpy Page for visual vocabulary review
• Matching Words to Pictures to support comprehension and pronunciation
• Do You Like It? Reflection Activity with check boxes to extend speaking practice

The lesson also includes an original classroom song, “Happy Thanksgiving Day!” This catchy song uses rhyme, repetition, and rhythm to help students remember vocabulary while celebrating positive feelings of gratitude and friendship. The song can be played directly in the included PowerPoint or as an MP3 track.
