| LESSON OVERVIEW
The main objectives of this worksheet are to:

This is a Vocabulary Lab worksheet. With it, students are introduced to a set of vocabulary on a specific topic and practise it through controlled activities, speaking tasks and games. Learn more about it here.
WARM-UP AND VOCABULARY
This worksheet starts with a warm-up. Students discuss questions about having and using a toolbox. Afterwards, they look at pictures and complete gaps with vocabulary for tools (e.g. thread, saw, pliers). Moving on, students discuss questions about choosing and using the tools from the previous task. Following that, they match more tools (e.g. tape measure, sandpaper, a stepladder) with their photos. Students then look at the photos again and explain what the things are used for. They also give examples.
PRACTISING VOCABULARY FOR TOOLS
In this part of the worksheet, students put tools in order, according to the questions (e.g. Which tool do people lose most often?). They explain their ideas. Afterwards, students look at tools (e.g. drill, extension lead, glue gun) and discuss questions about them and DIY projects. Moving on, students choose DIY projects in photos (e.g. decorative shelves made with wooden boxes) and practise vocabulary for tools. They imagine they are making video tutorials explaining how to do them. Students prepare step-by-step instructions for each project, mentioning which tools they’d use.
HOMEWORK/REVISION
This worksheet also includes an additional task that you can use as homework or revision. In the task, students find and correct mistakes in sentences. The task is available in the teacher’s version of the worksheet. You can print it and hand it out to your students. It’s also included in the e-lesson plan.
