This lesson plan gives teachers a complete 45-minute structure for food and drink vocabulary, ordering, and expressing preferences, staged from warm-up to wrap-up. Each stage lists suggested timing and what happens, so you can teach it as written or adapt it to your class size, level, and available time.
Lesson Overview

| Presentation | 10 min | Introduce food and drink vocabulary, ordering, and expressing preferences using the board, example sentences, and (if available) realia or images. Elicit examples from students before giving the rule, then confirm meaning, form, and pronunciation with concept-checking questions. |

|
| Freer Practice | 10 min | Students use food and drink more freely in a pair or small-group speaking or writing task — e.g. a short dialogue, role-play, or personalised exchange of information — with the teacher monitoring and noting errors for later feedback, not interrupting. |
| Wrap-up & Feedback | 5 min | Review the lesson objective, elicit 2-3 example sentences from students to check retention, give brief feedback on common errors noticed during freer practice, and set a related task (e.g. a LexFizz exercise) for further practice. |
