| LESSON OVERVIEW
The main objectives of this lesson are to:
- talk about second-hand fashion from different viewpoints;
- watch a video excerpt about the thrift clothing industry;
- learn and use so, neither and auxiliary verbs to show agreement;
In this lesson, students discuss and explore places to buy second-hand items (e.g. flea market, garage sale, thrift store). They share their perspectives, watch part of a video (to 02:37) about the second-hand clothing business and talk about sustainable fashion. Students work with dialogues, practise the use of structures for agreeing with so, neither and auxiliary verbs, and work in pairs, discussing their experiences.
WARM-UP AND VIDEO
This lesson begins with a warm-up where students look at pictures related to second-hand shopping. They answer questions about what the places have in common and why people buy from them. Afterwards, students match places where you can buy second-hand things (e.g. charity shop, charity shop, thrift store) with their definitions. Moving on, they discuss questions about those local second-hand markets. Then, students watch part of a video about the second-hand clothing business. First, they look at sentences and decide which option is correct. Students then watch the video and check their answers. Following that, they discuss questions about thrifting and sustainable fashion.
GRAMMAR PRACTICE
In this part of the lesson, students read dialogues related to shopping habits and second-hand fashion, paying attention to phrases for agreeing (e.g. I don’t, so did my daughter, neither do I). They then analyse the use of phrases for agreeing with so, neither and auxiliary verbs. Afterwards, students use the correct auxiliary verb to complete dialogues involving shopping experiences and opinions. Then, they choose the correct answer in more dialogues. Moving on, students respond to sentences, using so, neither and auxiliary verbs. They add details using and, so, or but. Next, students take turns reading sentences about second-hand shopping to their partner. They share their experiences and swap roles. Finally, students work in pairs and create sentences from prompts (e.g. My sister has never…). They discuss them and switch roles.
HOMEWORK/REVISION
This lesson also includes an additional task that you can use as homework or revision. In the task, students choose sentences and say whether they are the same or different for them. They add details. 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.
