ESL Thanksgiving Lesson Now Available

I know a lot of you are thinking of Thanksgiving, which is coming up in just a couple of weeks.

• Maybe you’re wondering how you’ll cook your meal this year, now that you’re in a foreign country, one that doesn’t celebrate this American holiday.
  

• Perhaps you’re being pressured by your school to teach a Thanksgiving lesson…even though you’re not American.
  

• Or it could just be that you’ve got yet another week of ESL classes to teach, and once again you have no idea what you’re going to do.

These are fun slides to show and talk about and just kill time on

I feel for ya. I taught in China for five years and each year I did something for Thanksgiving.

• The first year I used a PowerPoint that another teacher made and sent out in email to all the other teachers.
  

• The second year I’d somehow lost that and…well, I think I just showed Friends videos and googled some Thanksgiving pictures to talk about.
  

• My third year I was in a training center, and I think we may well have gotten off light that year – no lesson required. Yes!
  

• The fourth year saw a bit more uppity-ness in management, and I’m pretty sure I made some of those hand/finger turkeys…you know, like you may have done in first grade.
  

• My fifth and final year I think I showed the Friends video once again and passed out a Thanksgiving word search.
  

So really, when you think about it, there’s not a whole lot that has to go into it.  Oh, there can be though, and that’s why you’ll be thrilled with my 44-slide Thanksgiving PowerPoint. 

There are dozens of slides just like this in the ESL Thanksgiving PowerPoint

I put this thing together just in the past couple of weeks, and it gets back to that Thanksgiving PPT that the teacher sent out that first year.

I’ve got images of food, a bit of history on the holiday, and quite a few miscellaneous Thanksgiving terms like Harvest, Hunting, and…Hat:

Your students will like this PowerPoint, and guess what – I’ve included the links to the Friends videos (and a few more)!
