American Culture Workshop (26/6)

Yesterday in American culture class we reviewed prepositions for our language component and studied the geography of the United States.

First, we read a passage describing the geographic features of the United States, and students were asked to circle every preposition they heard from the passage. From the vast number of prepositions circled in the passage, students gleaned the importance of this grammatical feature in writing and reading in English. Do you have any questions about prepositions? Leave them in the comment box below!

Next, we did some map activities to learn about the locations of major cities, tourist attractions, and natural wonders of the United States. Check out the map below to learn more about American geography!

Finally, students made itineraries for the tours they would like to take of the United States, explaining the reasons behind each of the stops on their trips. Most students' tours included sightseeing in New York and San Francisco, and a stop to either Niagara Falls, the Gateway Arch or Yellowstone National Park. Where would you go on your trip to the United States?
