Thank you for the wonderful lesson plan Silvina! The main reason I 'clicked' on the post is my love for airports, as I miss traveling a lot. I love how you are connecting the pre- and post-listening parts by asking students to check whether some of their own ideas were used in the video, and the task about their favorite place at the end. And the decoding skills tips in the notes for teachers.
Thank you for the great blog you are writing!

Fantastic LP, Silvina. To be honest, I actually find all your LPs pedagogically, aesthetically and cognitively attractive.
I particularly appreciate the content you select to base your lesson on, the variety of activities and choices available to the learner, the scaffolding done through the coherent staging of activities, the realism of the content for learners to connect with and simple yet aesthetically appealing formatting and design of the material.
Hats off to your work. 🎓
