Why this lesson works
The lesson follows a clear progression: Vote in a Would You Rather? theme-park warm-up, describe rides and stalls using 'There is a...', write about a theme park day and design a dream park. Teachers can open the materials and start immediately, while students move from supported vocabulary practice to purposeful spoken English.
