A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Give learners page 1 and keep the suggested answers on page 2. Preview gratitude, harvest and feast and explain that each bank item is used once.

  1. Distinguish the actions gather and celebrate from meal nouns, and complete cranberry sauce using the plural cranberries.
  2. Check pumpkin pie and family meal, preserving the worksheet's United States context for November.
  3. Discuss celebratory food or an imagined shared meal; the gratitude question may be answered generally or passed.

Support and extension

Provide noun/verb groups and collocations. Extend with a short meal description. Review the complete bank when considering plausible alternatives such as dinner and feast.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
