This is a Low PREP (just photocopy and go) reading and writing lesson for a mixed ability beginner or low level Pre Intermediate ESL or Adult Migrant Class. The reading text is about The Great Barrier Reef ,It also includes some paired speaking activities.
This is a flexible lesson that can be used in a variety of ways:
•with a whole class,
• a small group or
• one to one
This reading lesson is based on an Information Text. Speaking and writing tasks are integrated as well as an opportunity to review and practice Present Simple question forms.
Some of the language will be challenging for Beginner students so it's not suitable for complete Beginners (see my lesson My Family and I, if you are looking for something for complete Beginners) but with some scaffolding it will be accessible to most good beginners or low level pre-intermediate students.
There is plenty of opportunity to differentiate learning according to your students’ levels and needs. It may take 1 lesson or could take several lessons depending on your learners and how you present the material. The final writing task has 2 options - a simple guided writing task or a more difficult task that involves writing a semi guided Information Report.

Like all my resources, this lesson is designed specifically for adults. It incorporates language that adults will need to use and situations that are relevant to adult learners.
This resource includes some Australian/UK language and prints to A4 paper. I put a lot of effort into creating and checking my resources. If you happen see an error/typo etc please let me know so that I can correct it. And if you loved the resource a review is much appreciated.
