Language Focus

This ESL Easter lesson plan starts with a general knowledge multiple choice quiz from Reader's Digest covering a large range of subjects, from the Easter bunny, to Easter Island, Palm Sunday and the Easter egg. The answers are given with a full explanation which the students can give as an information share exercise.

The students then have an opportunity to discuss their own traditions and beliefs, as well as find out what they know about the Jewish Passover and the origins of Easter. These subjects are then further uncovered with a reading on each of these topics. Of course, no lesson would be complete without vocabulary, so there are synonyms for the students to match with new words from the text.

The lesson then concludes with a fun listening with your students finding out what Matzah is, and some very creative things that you can do with it.
