Discussion about Cemeteries
It’s Halloween season, or just another day in your classroom and you need an ESL discussion on cemeteries. Use this example from New Orleans!
There wasn’t much Halloweening during my time in Poland, but All Saints Day was alive and kicking. I had several students even cancel lessons as it’s a day off. Every year, the cemeteries turn into something resembling a street fair. It’s hard to express in words what the cemeteries in Warsaw look like after November 1. Some say it has to do with their utmost respect for their ancestors. Others say it is more about keeping up with the Jones’s. Whatever it is, it’s quite a sight and was great inspiration for an ESL discussion on cemeteries.
There is a place back home that has some interesting cultural differences when it comes to their treatment of the dead. This B1-B2 lesson takes a look at cemetery culture in the old swampy and haunted city of New Orleans down in Louisiana. It’s a great snapshot for an ESL discussion on cemeteries.
My only notes on this one is to pay attention to the warm-up activity as you are given 2 options depending on your group. Choose one or the other or even both. Just be sure they can stomach a conversation on death before going for warm-up activity B.
