In this lesson, students will look at some phrasal verbs. Students will first watch a video and match the image to the phrasal verb, then do a couple of vocabulary exercises. After the vocabulary tasks, they then listen to short conversations, followed by some comprehension tasks. They then learn the rules of forming phrasal verbs and complete a grammar exercise. They wrap up by complete two speaking exercises and revision tasks. (by Edward Alden)
