Lesson overview:
This Thanksgiving reading comprehension worksheet gives B1 adults three short texts about the holiday: where it comes from, what families do on the day, and the busiest travel weekend of the year. Students guess five true or false facts before they read and check them after. They decide which text talks about a war, a parade or a record number, and answer six questions about the details. Then they find 12 new words in the texts, such as settlers, proclaimed, host, pardon, rush and volunteer, match them into phrases and use them in sentences about other countries. The sheet ends with two writing tasks: a family holiday in the student's own country, and which Thanksgiving tradition they would like to try. Every task works for self-study. Four A4 pages, answer key included.
