What’s In A Name?

a Talking Points Lesson Plan for English Reading & Speaking

This is part of the Talking Points lesson series.

What’s In A Name? – Do names really matter?

Some people really hate the names they were given by their parents…

Why is this so?

Some names seem to be popular for many years. While others go out of style in just a couple of years.

Is it the duty of parents to choose the right name for their children? And how do they do this?

This is a lesson plan all about something very personal to us – our name.

Use this lesson in your class and your students will not stop talking.
