Presentation: To start the class off I will pass out the following handout PDF Handout. I will read over the captions for the pictures while the students follow along and I will also go over the vocabulary and pronunciation under the useful language category. Then I will pass out this handout to illustrate the food pyramid. I will draw the empty pyramid on the board and have each student name a food item that goes in a category and write it in as the students name it. (15 min. S>T interaction)

Practice: Students will get into pairs and will be given the following fill-in-the-blank grammar exercises to complete PDF Handout 1, PDF Handout 2, PDF Handout 3. I will do the first one of each with the whole class. (15 mins S>S interaction)
