Targeted phrases/words: reasons to go or not, question words, etc

Prep:
□ Download and copy a set of Q&A for pairs (they can cut out or you can)
□ Gather 3 white boards, 3 markers and erasers for each group

Daily Objective

This lesson will give students input about places to eat street foods like small restaurants, food stands, and food trucks. By the end of the class, students should be able give their opinion about the best place to eat (at their proficiency level).

Ask the question to see what information they’d want to know about a place to eat before going. This is teaching them the skill to make predictions to be prepare for new situations in the target language.

Give them the first 2 sheets from the “Matching” download. With a partner, they will cut apart the strips and match the questions with their possible answers. Each question may have more than one answer.

Next go over the answers. Let them check their answers and ask any questions. Remind them that today’s objective is to pick a place to eat. Are there other questions that they want/need to know? Help them with the new phrases that they want to add.

Interpersonal Practice

Have them partner up and get out their reviews from the previous lesson. They will practice asking and answering the questions from the prior matching task about each other’s favorite place to eat.

Scenarios + Graphic Organizer

Put them in small groups of 3-4. Give each group 3 white boards, 3 markers and erasers. Have them use their reviews that they wrote in the previous lesson and/or add in the original reviews for more options.

1. Show a scenario for a place to go.
2. As a group, they will pick 2 places to compare. Have them note some basic info (name, cuisine, etc.) and some positive “reasons to go” and negative “reasons to not go” about it that relate to the scenario.
3. After discussing (in Italian), they will pick one place that they agree on. Tell them to circle that one on their board.
4. Now ask the class which is the best place for that scenario.
5. Continue to the next scenario.

If speaking in Italian is a challenge for them, add the clothes pins “Give me it” game.

Outcome Quiz

This is a fun little quiz to see where they should eat based on their preferences. Show them the link and let them take the quiz. Then discuss what they were recommended. Do they like that option?

Time for their opinions. Which place is the best option? Which is the worst? Why? You could have students write this and/or discuss with a partner or small group. You can switch it up by asking would you choose a different one for a… date? with different family members? with other friends? with classmates to study?

If they are using the “Unit Vocabulary Sheet,” give them time to write down what they learned today.

Extension

Create some more detailed scenarios or profiles to change which place would be best.

Have them look for real places on Yelp or Expedia in Italian.
