Free ‘Weddings’ worksheet

Download the free PDF and Power Point slides below and use the worksheet to help your students learn vocabulary and practise their speaking, reading and writing through a lesson all about weddings. There is enough here for a full lesson plus homework! I used this with a pre-entry group but consisting of a very mixed-level. I prefer longish texts for this which are more difficult towards the end as the stronger students can get on with something challenging to read while I can give extra support to weaker learners with just the first few lines. These students don’t need to read the entire text, just the opening sentences. Here’s my lesson plan:

1. 1. Use the pictures in the first two Power Point slides to clarify the vocabulary orally first before the group try the first matching task (page 1). Drill a few phrases and then get them chatting in groups about weddings in their countries.

1. 1. Refer back to the pictures to discuss weddings in the UK with the group, asking questions like ‘Where are weddings?’ and ‘What does the woman wear?’

1. 1. Display the text from the Power Point slides and read the text aloud for the group before focusing on some sound-spelling combinations, e.g. “What’s the sound for this letter?” while pointing at the first letter in a word. Read the text aloud as a group. The learners read aloud in pairs before reading aloud all together again.

1. 1. The students do the comprehension tasks on page 2.

1. 1. There are some writing tasks on pages 3-5 which culminate in the learners writing about weddings in their own country. They can read these aloud in small groups after they finish.

The videos on my You Tube channel give more detail on how to stage a reading and writing lesson for this level. weddingsDownload weddings power point slidesDownlo
