TEFL Limited Resources Assignment
Please could someone help me. I've tried this question in my TEFL course and I'm really struggling. To make things worse I have one last attempt and that's it! Thanks so much to those that comment, I really do appreciate the help 
The Question is as follows;
Imagine you are going to teach the vocabulary of kitchen items to a pre-intermediate class of young adults. The classroom has minimal furniture, rows of desks fixed to the floor and a blackboard. All students have pens and paper. There are no textbooks or technical equipment available. The only materials you can use are those which you and your students own or which you have created with your own hands. Printers or photocopiers are not avaiable. Plan a 45 minute lesson.
Please include the following information:
Target language (list the words you will teach)
Assumed knowledge (list vocabulary/structures you expect your students to know)
Anticipated problems
Solutions
Preparations and aids
A step-by-step plan of the entire lesson including the timing of each stage.
Note: This will be a vocabulary lesson as you will be teaching a set of words.
(Please write a minimum of 200 words)
My Answer:
Lesson Plan
Prep & Aids:
Draw kitchen items and stick them around the classroom
(Colour code the walls Red,green,blue,yellow and place 5 pictures on each
cup and glass
Flash Cards with pictures.
Lead in: T-S 5 minutes.
Sit at the back of the class and ask one of the students if they would like some tea.
Walk up to your desk and pretend to make a cup of tea. Then pass them the cup. 'There is your cup'.
Then hold up the cup and say 'cup'. Drill the word cup two or three times. then ask another student would they like a glass of water. Pour them some imaginary water into the glass.
At this stage the students will be watching you and intrigued.
Introduction T-S
walk along the pictures pointing to them and drilling them chorally.
then draw a picture on the board. Let the students stand up and walk around to see the pictures then ask them what is it.
In groups of 4 have each student draw 5 pictures. Assign each student a colour.
After each student has drawn their 5 pictures they must swap with one person in their group and label the pictures.
Presentation:T-S T-S 10 minutes
Group the pictures into three groups
(Divide the board into three columns)
What you eat with
What you cook with
What you use to store or keep food.
Have the students draw a flash card and walk up to the board. They must stick the cards in the correct columns.
Controlled Practice: S-S 5minutes
(Controlled speaking practice)
This game is called go to the kitchen
Ask the students to write the 20 kitchen items on a pieces of paper.
The students must get into pairs (each student has the same 20 items
Each student hold 5 'cards'
Student one> do you have a knife
Student two> no, go to the kitchen OR yes (and they pass it over)
Plenary:
Walk around and check pronunciation
Do a role play. For example, the students are pretending to cook and need various items/ingredients or act out eating a meal in a restaurant.
Vocabulary to be taught:
Spoon, Knife, Fork, Plate, Cup, Bowl, Glass
Table Chairs Sink Fridge Cooker Cupboard
Pot ,Frying Pan ,Dish ,Wooden spoon ,Chopping knife
Teapot Kettle
I believe if this lesson plan was followed it would teach the students the words that I have selected in a fun and engaging manner. It will keep the atmosphere upbeat and enjoyable, stimulating their minds. Perhaps it would be especially good for the students that learn kinaesthetically and visually and offers variety to the every day routine and the teacher isn't always stood at the front lecturing.
I submitted it and this was the feedback I received;

Hi If you go through some of the answered posts on the forum, you will realize that a post must be brief to catch the attention of the volunteers working on the forum. I think your post/query is frighteningly long. Tom

First of all, I think your lesson is very great. However, you should consider about your students (pre-intermediate class of young adults at ages 14 to 21). These words you want to teach are very simple so I am not sure if they can attract your students. Here are some of my suggestions:
- Target language: You should choose some difficult words of a specific topic.
- Assumed knowledg
