Lesson Plan Content:
Emails from other countries guess the place
Choose a country and make up an imaginary email from that place. Continue to say what would be in that email until your partner guesses the country that it comes from, ending your email with a typical name from that country if your partner hasn’t already guessed. If you use the model below to help, you can change it as much as you like (skipping sentences you don’t know how to complete, etc).
