This is the second part of the lesson My House | ESL/EFL Lesson Plan. It is designed for grade 7 and it focuses on usage of the prepositions of place.

Stage 1

Review the previous lessons. Ask individual students to answer the conversation questions from previous lessons.
Play a game to help them review previous vocabulary (Pictionary). Although I don’t recommend playing a game at the beginning of the lesson, in this situation playing a game for reviewing vocabulary is a good idea.

Stage 2

Introduce the different prepositions by drawing a small sketch to explain. Ask the students to repeat and write down in their notebooks.

Show an example on power point and label the picture to show where the objects are using prepositions.

Stage 3

Provide simple sentences to illustrate how to use prepositions to describe one’s house. Ask the students to write 4 sentences to describe a room in their house.

In my living room:
There is a television on the table.
There is a lamp text to the telephone.
There is a sofa near the television.
There is a window between the table and the clock.
The bookshelf is behind the sofa.

Example 1:
My living room:
In my living room there is a clock on the wall and there is a ball under the table. There are 2 pillows on the sofa and there is a lamp between some flowers and a book. My cat sits next to my sofa.

Example 2:
