Lesson 21: Trash to Treasure, Part 1

Say, “In this lesson, we will go to a special kind of shop with Anna. She is looking for a birthday present for Pete. She goes to a shop that sells things people have made from used items.” Ask students if they have ever been to a store that sells used things. Explain that in the U.S., stores like this sell old items that people have repaired or made into works of art. Ashley says that Anna can get a unique, or one-of-a-kind, present for Pete there.
