Lesson Plan

• Describe the main types of accommodation and their key characteristics.
• Explain the star‑rating system and how it relates to facilities and price.
• Analyse the factors that influence a traveller’s choice of accommodation.
• Apply this knowledge by designing a drama set that reflects a specific accommodation type and rating.
• Evaluate how accommodation choices affect the mood and dialogue of a scene.

• Projector and screen
• Printed handouts of accommodation types and star‑rating table
• Whiteboard and markers
• Scenario cards for set‑design activity
• Set‑design props (fabric, signage, mini‑furniture)
• Worksheet/Checklist for evaluating choices

Begin with a quick image‑guess game of different hotel lobbies to spark interest. Ask students what they notice about the décor and what it suggests about the hotel’s quality. State that by the end of the lesson they will be able to identify accommodation types, explain star ratings, and use this knowledge to create an authentic drama set.

1. Do‑now (5'): Quick multiple‑choice quiz on accommodation types (projected).
2. Mini‑lecture (10'): Overview of types and star‑rating system with examples.
3. Group discussion (15'): Analyse the nine factors influencing accommodation choice; each group creates a mind‑map.
4. Set‑design activity (20'): In drama groups, students receive a scenario (e.g., 3‑star city‑centre hotel) and plan the lobby set, selecting décor, props, and guest characters.
5. Gallery walk & peer feedback (10'): Groups display their sketches; peers use a checklist to comment on authenticity.
6. Recap (5'): Teacher highlights key take‑aways and links back to objectives.

Summarise how accommodation type, rating, and influencing factors shape a dramatic setting. Students complete an exit ticket naming one factor they would prioritize when choosing a hotel for a scene. For homework, they write a short dialogue set in the designed lobby, incorporating at least two identified factors.
