A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Show a simple meal picture and elicit pie, turkey and pumpkin before adding the word feast.
- Have learners mark clues about food separately from clues about feelings or activities.
- Compare how gather and family could appear together in a sentence.
- Check the grid, then have pairs explain what makes a feast different from a regular dinner.
Support and extension
Use an imagined gathering for the extension or invite learners to compare a special meal they know.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
