They will also look at holiday jobs and read about holiday trends in the UK. Finally, students will plan their ideal school holiday in groups.

A Midsummer Night's Dream for kids
In this lesson plan, which can be delivered as a 45-minute lesson or as shorter segments over three lessons, learners will be introduced to the Shakespeare play A Midsummer Night's Dream through a short animated video. They will complete comprehension activities and then think about and discuss the ideas of 'dreams' and 'magic' from the play, with the teacher's guidance.
