**Body (30 minutes):**
1. **Introduce Vocabulary (10 minutes):**

- Write the name of each place on the board as it is identified.
2. **Group Discussion (5 minutes):**
- For each place, ask students to share a sentence about it.

3. **Interactive Activity (10 minutes):**

- Call on students to come up and fill in the blanks with the correct place names.
**Conclusion (10 minutes):**
