teaching aims

to help students learn about theme parks.
teaching procedures
i. warming up
warming up by discussing
good morning, class. today we are going to visit theme parks. but first what do you think a theme park is? with a classmate discuss what you might do in a theme park.
  
(for reference: a large christmas party is being prepared at our theme park. visitors will find a dancing carnival, a european wedding, military band performances, classical christmas plays and christmas parades in the theme park. the 108-meter-tall eiffel tower will be lit up during the holidays with four types of lights.)
warming up by watching and listening
hi, every one. today we are going to visit theme parks. look at the screen and listen to me telling you about them.
 
this is the universal's islands of adventure which was opened in 1999, making universal orlando the nation's second multi-gate theme park resort (after walt disney world). ioa was universal's first non-studio theme park, and was intended to pay tribute to characters from books, comics, cartoons and legend, rather than movies.
 
of course, that hasn't stopped universal and other studios from making films about almost every character represented in ioa over the past few years, rendering the park thematically indistinguishable from its sister, universal studios florida.
warming up telling experiences
nice to see you again, boys and girls. as you have all travelled somewhere before i shall ask two of you at random to tell the class about their travel experiences.
(for reference: visiting disney world was a childhood dream of mine, and i was able to realise it last year. i plan to keep going back, even given the overt commercialism. it is not a place i could live in, but it definitely has magic.
 
one of the best parts was that i was able to interact with most of the disney characters, even though their appearance and mannerisms varied from the disney comic books i read. a few select pictures are included here, but my recommendation if you're taking a kid is to make sure they get some time with the characters. i can't think of anything cooler. )
ii. pre-reading
looking and saying
work in pairs. look at the photos and theme parks and predict the contents of the text. when you are ready, join another pair and compare your predictions and the clues that helped you to make the predictions.
(for reference: from the photos and title i guess that the text tells about theme parks where you can joy yourselves and have fun with various activities…
