London ist der Kern einer Unterrichtsreihe, der im Buch der 7. Klasse der Realschule vorgegeben ist. Das Buch wird in der Unterrichtseinheit über Londons Sehenswürdigkeiten nicht zum Einsatz kommen, da es dafür zu wenige Informationen enthält. Das Thema „Sights in London“ bietet sich darüber hinaus sehr gut für das Üben von Präsentationen an, da es in London viele verschiedene und vor allem interessante Sehenswürdigkeiten gibt. Das Thema wird durch den Reisebericht am Anfang der Stunde für die Schüler und Schülerinnen interessant gestaltet. Nachdem der Text vorgelesen wurde, sind die Schüler und Schülerinnen neugierig geworden und beschäftigen sich anschließend in ihren Kleingruppen intensiver mit ihren Sehenswürdigkeiten.
Da London sehr viele Sehenswürdigkeiten bietet, wird die heutige Stunde in Kleingruppen bzw. in Partnergruppen eingeteilt. Jede Schülergruppe soll sich mit zwei bis drei Sehenswürdigkeiten Londons beschäftigen und diese anschließend präsentieren. Die Einteilungs und Präsentationsphase wird so aufgebaut sein, dass anhand eines Stadtplans von London jede Sehenswürdigkeit der Reihe nach, in einer Art „Sightseeing- Tour through London“, eingeteilt und vorgestellt wird.
Jede Gruppe gestaltet ein kleines Plakat (Muster s. Anhang) zu ihren Sehenswürdigkeiten. Die Schüler und Schülerinnen, die der Präsentation zuhören, bearbeiten eine „while listening“- Aufgabe (s. Anhang). Bevor die SuS mit der Arbeit beginnen, wird ihnen eine Musterpräsentation vorgestellt.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
1. Conceptual Considerations: This chapter outlines the pedagogical rationale behind the lesson plan. The teacher aims to leverage their personal experience in London to spark student interest, acknowledging the likely lack of prior knowledge about the city amongst the students. The focus will be on well-known landmarks, preparing students for potential future visits and fulfilling the curriculum's requirements for regional studies. The lesson utilizes group work and presentations, choosing to forgo the class textbook due to its insufficient information on London's sights. The chapter emphasizes the engaging nature of the topic and its suitability for practicing presentations. A student-led presentation will introduce the lesson, motivating students to then further investigate their chosen landmarks in groups. A specific structure for group work, including poster creation and a “while-listening” activity, is already conceived.
2. Subject Matter Analysis: This section analyzes the materials used in the lesson. The introductory text "a great trip" is deemed age-appropriate, employing simple vocabulary and grammar. The text uses basic nouns (dream, city, time, etc.), verbs (believe, come, be, etc.), and adjectives (good, beautiful, etc.). The chapter analyzes the simplicity of the text, ensuring comprehension even if individual words are unknown. Grammatical structures used (simple present, simple past, and present progressive) are assumed to be familiar to the students. The analysis then extends to the worksheets for group work, emphasizing their similar structure and length, along with the incorporation of visuals to aid comprehension. The inclusion of the Underground line information is acknowledged as less critical than other details but is retained for its relevance to the "sightseeing tour" format of the presentations.
2.2 Difficulty Analysis: This section anticipates potential challenges students might encounter. The chapter discusses mitigating these difficulties by providing a model presentation before the group work, offering guidance on structure and presentation skills, and using visual aids such as wall posters with helpful tips. The worksheets are designed for clarity. The teacher plans to address individual group questions. Lexical difficulties are expected to be minimal due to the simple language used. Phonological support will be given during the presentation preparation phase, with pronunciation practice and correction as needed. Orthographic difficulties are addressed by the use of student-created posters displaying landmark names and by listing the names on the listener's worksheets.
3. Didactic-Methodological Analysis: This chapter briefly touches on the importance of English as a global language and the lesson’s aim in developing communicative competence among students, fostering their language and comprehension skills.
