At Lunch
Unit Description:
In this unit, students learn basic vocabulary for food, food count words and money. Students learn to give information about food
and describe their food likes and dislikes. Students also learn to ask and answer questions to buy and sell something. Students learn
to correctly use the plural form of nouns by adding an -s and the demonstratives this, that, those and these. Students will learn to
use the dollar sign, cent symbol and decimal point to show numerical amounts. In this unit, students will write short narrative or
informational texts as well as give short oral presentations and exchanges to describe food, their food likes and dislikes and to buy
and sell something.
