LESSON DESCRIPTION

In this ESL lesson plan for adults and teens, students watch a short cinematic video and do a listening exercise on mounted horseback archery.

The post-viewing section includes activities on prepositions, rewriting sentences, and a quote from the video. The grammar activity features the usage of the conjunction “unless” in second conditional sentences. There is a short trivia quiz about both archery and horseback riding included, as well as a quiz and review section with a bonus activity.
