This ESL lesson combines vocabulary related to traveling necessities and an overview of countable and uncountable nouns.
Warm-up discussion
A list of traveling items is presented for the student to decide which ones are essential/non-essential in their opinion. Then, another list of item groups is presented (clothes, cosmetics, documents, and devices) for the student to decide which ones they would take when going on a summer vacation.
The student then decides which statements are related to hand luggage/check-in luggage.
Grammar: Countable vs. uncountable nouns
The student is given two lists of traveling necessities and should decide which of those are countable/uncountable nouns and which rules apply to which group of nouns.
After that, the rules of use of countable and uncountable nouns are explained, as well as the use of a/an, some, and any, which are then used to fill in the gaps.
The use of much and many is also explained. These two are then used to complete a conversation.
