(teacher acting out bad habits / students acting out bad habits) - There is a lot of target language so giving the students a night to preview the bad habit vocabulary beforehand is a good idea.
(Preview homework could be numbering the bad habit vocabulary pictures) - Put emphasis on how the verb form is changing in the different sample sentence structures the lesson practices.

HI there! I’ve just subscribed, and this is the first lesson plan I’ve had a look at. It looks great, but I can’t use it because it has “farting” in it. Whilst I am definitely NOT a prude, many of my students would not feel comfortable talking about this subject with me. Of course, this is only MY opinion. Thanks.
Hi there Frances, first thanks for the feedback. I totally understand every classroom environment is different. I have a suggestion to fix it for you. What if I emailed you a version with the “farting” example of bad habit removed? Is there any other terms that are questionable for you?
All Done Frances.. Quick and Easy 🙂
