Lesson Idea: Dream House

Hello visitors, in this post you will find an idea for teaching 'there is / there are' as well as the rooms of a house.

Firstly, you will have to show the following video from the TV show MTV Cribs, where people show and describe their awesome houses.



After that you will elicit the grammar structure there is / there are and the vocabulary you want to present by pausing the video in order to show such vocabulary. At this stage, is very important to use the negative forms and the interrogative forms as well. If necessary, write on the board some examples of them.

After that, by using cardboards, ask them to draw their dream house. In this process you can help them to get ideas, although some of them will have a very clear idea of what they want. Let them know that they have to use the grammar point taught and the target vocabulary.

In the end, have them presenting their job in front of the class. Pay close attention to how they use there is / there are or the rooms of the house in order to give effective feedback.
