Title: School: Conversation Topic
Body:
From http://freeenglishlessonplans.com
This lesson uses discussion questions to keep students talking about their past experiences at school. There’s some useful language included for students to practice, but the aim of the lesson is also to provide further exposure to the use of comparatives and superlatives by asking students to compare their schools. Another option would be to use the text right below the picture to create a discussion, or utilize the discussion questions provided to target the use of “would” and “used to” for past habits and actions.
