You can do a guessing game. Have each student describe a famous landmark/city/type of business, etc., and the other students have to guess what it is.
We did this to practice the passive voice the other day. They had to describe a famous landmark using the passive. Ex.: "They were made for kings after they died. They are found in Egypt. They were built a long time ago. A lot of innovation was used to make them." |

This is a good lesson for upper intermediate and advanced adult students. It would be a project that takes several days.
Teach stative and dynamic passives and incorporate vocabulary related to architecture.
Also as the date of the project nears review how to do an informative oral presentation using power point.
Have a list of the famous places in your city. In pairs, have your students pick a famous place, research the place, and go out to take photos, visit the place and or collect brochures. Then they prepare an oral presentation (be careful of cut and paste) for the class with a question and answer period afterwards.
Good luck!

With a group of beginners, we practised "there is a(n)" "there are" "there isn �t a(n)" and "there aren �t any" then I gave them a set of 6 pictures of different villages and in small groups they had to guess the picture by asking "Is there ...?" or "Are there ...?" It was simple but effective. |
