What students are going to cover
In this lesson, students will explore what happens when people who prefer simple food judge a professional cooking competition, using the comedy video If Regular People were Cooking Show Judges as the input. They build ten words for TV and cooking vocabulary, from panel to medium-rare, in a ten-item matching task and a ten-item sentence completion. Students then check the video with five true-or-false statements and five short-answer questions about the steak, the ketchup and the dinosaur-shaped fries. The grammar stage presents the 2nd Conditional rule with ten controlled-practice sentences and two pair-speaking questions. The homework contains four sentence transformations, a five-item vocabulary gap-fill and a short podcast challenge, Why Smart People Love Reality TV, with four multiple-choice questions, five-term matching and three 2nd Conditional discussion prompts. The package includes student and teacher versions, an interactive worksheet, a 20-slide deck, 25 flashcards and 24 speaking cards. By the end of the lesson, learners will be able to describe a cooking show using ten topic words, answer detail questions about a short video, and form 2nd Conditional questions and answers about imaginary situations.
