In this lesson, students develop their conversational skills in the context of going to a fruit and vegetable market. They start by discussing a photo and answering some personalized questions to engage with the topic before learning and practicing topic-related vocabulary and reviewing the singular and plural forms. The students then hear the language in context with two conversations at a market and complete a comprehension task before focusing on the language. The students finish the lesson by taking part in a roleplay to practice and consolidate all the language from the lesson (by Victoria Aitken).
