In this lesson, students explore common problems that can occur in restaurants and learn how to complain politely and respond appropriately using functional English. Working individually or in pairs, they create a comic strip that presents a restaurant problem, the customer's complaint, and a suitable solution. Through role-play, dialogue writing, and visual storytelling, students practice real-life communication skills while developing creativity and language accuracy.

Nastavnička priprema

The lesson begins with a discussion about experiences in restaurants. Students brainstorm possible problems that customers might encounter and share examples from their own experiences. The teacher introduces common restaurant situations and reviews useful expressions for making complaints, apologising, and offering solutions. Students practice the expressions through short oral exchanges and mini role-plays.

Students choose one of the suggested restaurant problems or invent their own scenario. They identify the characters involved, such as a customer, waiter, or manager, and plan how the problem will develop. Students outline the sequence of events, including the complaint and the final solution.

Students create a comic strip consisting of four to six panels. They use speech bubbles to write a dialogue that clearly presents the situation, the complaint, the response, and the solution. The teacher encourages students to use the functional language provided and to make their comics creative and engaging. Students may create their comics on paper or using a digital comic creation tool.

Students present their comics to the class or exchange them with classmates for peer review. While reading or listening, classmates identify the problem, evaluate the solution, and discuss the effectiveness of the communication.

The completed comics are assessed using the provided rubric, focusing on content, language, dialogue, creativity, and visual presentation. Students reflect on the language they used and discuss which expressions were most useful for handling restaurant problems politely and effectively.
