What's in My Neighborhood?

Lesson Plan - Get It!

Audio:

In the last Related Lesson of our My Neighborhood series, found in the right-hand sidebar, you began studying your neighborhood by determining what type of neighborhood you live in.

• Do you live in a city, a town, or the country?
• How do you know?

In this lesson, you will learn about some of the things you might find in a neighborhood, then describe some of the things found in your neighborhood.

To learn about some of the places found in a neighborhood, watch What's in Your Town? - Town Vocabulary By ELF Learning. The video will show many places that can be found in a neighborhood.

After each location is shown, pause the video and answer the following questions:

• What happens at this location?
• Can this location be found in my neighborhood?

When you are finished watching the video, discuss the following questions:

• Can you think of any places from your neighborhood that were not featured in the video?
• What locations shown in the video are not a part of your neighborhood?
• At the beginning of the lesson, you were asked to name your three favorite places in your neighborhood. Were any of these three locations shown in the video?

Each neighborhood has unique places. Sometimes, a place found in one neighborhood may not be found in another neighborhood. For example, your neighborhood might not have a coffee shop, whereas many other neighborhoods do.
