This document provides an outline for a lesson plan on bees and bee products for teaching English as a foreign language to elementary school students. The objectives are to promote communication skills, teach vocabulary related to bees and honey, and raise awareness about climate change and environmental protection. The lesson introduces vocabulary words like "honey", "pollen", and "beehive" through flashcard games and activities practicing present continuous tense. Later activities have students dramatizing bee behaviors and producing short written texts on climate change impacts. Assessment includes checks of vocabulary and structure knowledge, participation in activities, and use of learning materials produced.
