Another lesson plan today ! Well, don't be too enthusiastic, I don't have that many to share !!
Today is a lesson plan I did last year when I was teaching in High School. I liked teaching in High School because the range of possible subects is much wider than in secondary school. But I LOOOOVE teaching in secondary school level. The kids are simply great.
Anyway.
This lesson plan is about advertisement. I chose one particularly ad, which I found really funny and surprising.
This lesson plan not in conformity to the European Framework of Language Teaching since I was not as well trained last year as I am today.

Ads are great to study with the pupils because they are short, often well-made and the level of English is usually adapted to teenagers. Choose funny ads, your pupils will love them. Go a bit beyond the first level of comprehension and make them talk about the way the ad is made and for which purpose. Try to make them aware of the power of advertisement (spoof ads are good for that).

Here is the lesson plan: ad_lesson_plan_-_missteacher.pdf
