Grade 2 My Favorite Foods and Drinks Lesson Plan

Learning Objectives

• Students will be able to name 12 common foods and drinks.
• Students will be able to ask and answer "Do you like...?" questions.
• Students will be able to say what they like and don't like using "I like..." and "I don't like..."
• Students will be able to report a classmate's food and drink preferences to the class.

Lesson Procedure

• Read through the full sequence before class and gather the materials listed (PowerPoint, Flashcards, one worksheet per student, and the Speaking Activity handout). Follow the timed stages in order: Warm-Up, Presentation, Guided Practice, Independent Practice, Production, and Wrap-Up. Each stage includes the exact language to model for students, not just a general description, so a teacher who is less confident with classroom English can follow it closely. Adjust timing to fit your own class length; the Teacher Notes section gives a ready-made two-day split.

Assessment

Use the My Favorite Foods and Drinks Quiz as a short formal check either at the end of this lesson or the start of the next one. To assess the Speaking Activity itself, use the My Favorite Foods and Drinks Grading Rubric while circulating during Production, or collect the Speaking Activity handouts afterward as a quick completion check.

Differentiation

SUPPORT: Keep a word bank with pictures visible on the board throughout the lesson. Let students point to flashcards instead of speaking at first, and accept single-word answers ("rice") before requiring the full sentence.
ON-LEVEL: Students use the full question-and-answer pattern independently during guided and independent practice.
CHALLENGE: Ask students to give a reason ("I like mango because it is sweet") or to ask a follow-up question ("What about you?") during the Speaking Activity.

Classroom Activity Ideas

• Turn the Wrap-Up chant into a quick class vote: call out each of the 12 words and have students stand up if they like it, stay seated if they don't. Count the standing students out loud for a couple of words ("Twelve students like mango!") to add a light data/counting element without needing any extra materials.

Teacher Tips

Model your own real likes and dislikes during the Presentation stage rather than inventing random examples. Students pay closer attention when the question is genuinely about their teacher, and it gives you a natural reason to use "No, I don't" as well as "Yes, I do" before asking students to do the same.
