Ratatouille

I'm sharing an activity for A1/ A2 students to work on the use of some and any in a conversation. Before that, they will identify vocabulary, check general understanding of a video and practice grammar. I used a segment from the fantastic "Ratatouille".

Warm up:

Watch the segments and tick the elements you see:

Hamburgers		Water		Salt
Cream		Oil		Garlic
Mayonnaise		Soup		Tomatoes
Onions		Lettuce		Potatoes

True or false:
