Beginning Learners:
Out and About: During the first lesson you took pictures of some of the major people and things in your neighborhood. This time, look more closely and take pictures of some of the things you didn’t see before. If necessary, go a little further from home to see new things.
Back home: Use Look and Listen and Do to learn new vocabulary. Combine the new words with some descriptive words (colors, size) and with expressions like “there is, or there are” to describe what is in the pictures.
Possible vocabulary:
| Apartment | Garage | Garden shed | Barn |
| Outhouse | Kitchen house | Porch | Community well |
| Common/green/park | Neighbor | Live | See |
| Have | Big | Small | “there is” |
| Fence/wall (between properties) | Colors – white, dark, black, blue, red, yellow | ||
Intermediate Learners:
Get your Language Helper (LH) to describe the neighborhood: what it looks like and what certain buildings or spaces are used for. You are aiming for a simple description you can understand. You may have to start with a walk around the neighborhood, with your LH describing in sentences what he or she sees. If you can get a recording of that while walking around town, great. Otherwise, take pictures and ask the LH to describe the pictures when you are at home. Take note of any new words you hear in the description.
