Assessment Application: none

Oxford Picture Dictionary, class set,
Fruit Wordsearch, class set,
Vegetables crossword, class set, and
Listening and Dictation worksheet, class set.

Objective: Students will name at least 15 fruits and 15 vegetables.

Key Vocabulary: apples, bananas, blueberries, cantaloupe, cherries, grapes, lemons, limes,
mangoes, oranges, peaches, pears, pineapple, strawberries, watermelon, asparagus, broccoli,
carrots, cauliflower, celery, corn, eggplant, green pepper, lettuce, onions, peas, potatoes,
radishes, tomatoes, yams

Warm-up: Hold up a picture card of a fruit, a real piece of fruit, or point to a picture of a fruit.
Say the name of the fruit and have students repeat it. Ask, Do you like apples? (or whatever
fruit it is). Repeat this with a few of the cards to introduce the subject matter. Ask them to name
some fruit and vegetables. Discuss students favorites, regional types, etc.

Introduction: State the Objective: Today you are going to learn the names of some fruits and
vegetables and the sections in a grocery store.

Presentation: Note: There are many more fruits and vegetables listed in the OPD. If you want to
extend the lessons, you can teach all the words.
Another note: Tomatoes are listed as vegetables in this lesson. Although technically theyre a
fruit, youll see them as a fruit or a vegetable depending on the dictionary you use. Even Oxford
defines tomatoes as a vegetable in the Picture Dictionary but a fruit in its American Wordpower
Dictionary.

Have students turn to p. 50 - 51 in the Oxford Picture Dictionary. Read the vocabulary words
aloud and have students repeat them.

For your reference the words are: P. 50 (alphabetically)


4 apples 3 bananas 19 blueberries 15 cantaloupe

many times as it takes for them to get the correct answer.
