Instruction: >
 * Anticipatory Set: ** Ask students if they have ever been on a vacation. Ask how they got to the place they were going. If any flew on an airplane or rode on a train or bus, have them expand.
 * **Strategies**: Use the flash cards online to introduce the new vocabulary to the students. Show the word and have students repeat the word. Then flip the card and have students say the word while looking at the picture. Do this with all the cards, then go back and show the picture side of each card (cover the word) and have students name the different vocabulary words. Expand on the ones that need explanation (bus stop, train station, airport, kiosk). Ask students for any questions about the new vocabulary. [|Vocabulary Cards]

>
 * **Guided Practice**: Have students make a chart to organize different vocabulary (new and old) into the categories “Wings, Wheels, and Rails.” They should organize the plane, bus (taxi and car), and train vocabulary words into each section. Give them time to create their own, then make a large chart on the board and have the students fill it in.

**Assessment**: Students will use their new vocabulary and write a couple sentences about an imaginary trip by plane, bus, or train.

**Extension**: Students can play a memory game using the vocabulary cards and pictures from the lesson. They can also play charades, “catch phrase” (describing the words no actions), or pictionary with the new vocabulary.
