This Month's ESL Lessonplan  Talking Point: Charity
A very topical subject for your students to tackle. Relevant vocabulary is explored and practised through a gap-fill exercise which draws attention to topic-related words with similar meanings. Conversation practice is provided through a series of discussion questions based around the topic. For example: "If you were in charge of international aid operations what type of aid would you send to a disaster zone first of all - food and water, medicine and doctors, blankets and shelters or rescue experts and equipment?"
