Unit 4 of Outlook covers Artistic Interests — entertainment, film, and hobbies — paired with adverbs of frequency and Wh- questions. Below are all 7 free, ready-to-teach lesson plans covering the full unit, ending with a checkpoint reviewing Units 3 and 4 together.
All seven are free to download, aligned with the Common Core Standards-Based Approach.
What’s Included
Lesson 1: Conversation — Expressing Likes/Dislikes, Inviting, Making Plans
Everyday social language for talking about entertainment preferences and making plans with others.
Lesson 2: Grammar — Adverbs of Frequency & Wh- Questions
Two structures that work naturally together when describing habits and asking about them.
Lesson 3: Vocabulary — Entertainment Words & Collocations
The vocabulary bank for talking about films, music, and free-time activities.
Lesson 4: Skills — Reading (“Harry Potter”) & Listening
A reading passage built around a genuinely engaging, recognizable topic for this age group.
Lesson 5: Skills — Speaking & Writing (Film Review: “Titanic”)
Students move from discussing a film aloud to writing a short structured review of it.
Lesson 6: Fun Page — Song: “Too Much Entertainment”
A song-based lesson that keeps engagement high while reinforcing the unit’s vocabulary.
Lesson 7: Checkpoint — Review of Units 3 & 4
A combined review lesson consolidating both Shopping Habits and Artistic Interests before moving on.
A combined checkpoint
Unlike Unit 2’s standalone review, this checkpoint deliberately covers two units at once — a useful moment to check retention across a wider stretch of material, not just what was taught most recently.
How to Use These in Class
Let the film review build on real discussion first
Give students genuine speaking time discussing “Titanic” (or a film they actually know) before Lesson 5’s writing task — students write more confidently once they’ve already said their opinions aloud.
Use the checkpoint to catch quieter gaps
Since this review spans two units, it’s a good moment to notice whether earlier material (comparatives, shopping vocabulary) has actually stuck, not just this unit’s content.
Wh- questions pair naturally with entertainment topics
Practicing Wh- questions (“What kind of music do you like?” “Why do you like it?”) directly on entertainment topics makes the grammar feel purposeful rather than a separate drill.
