When I prepared Independence Day of Uzbekistan lesson plan I used 7 wonders of Uzbekistan from Wikipedia Uzbekistan:

“Seven wonders of Uzbekistan”:

1.     Rivers

2.     Mountains

3.     Weather.

4.     Land

5.     Resources

6.     Bread

7.     Buildings.

“Seven wonder of human life”:

1.     Touch

2.     Taste

3.     See

4.     Hear

5.     Feel

7.     Love.

It’s very effective way to improve pupils’ critical thinking skills through discussion about different 7 wonders e.g. “7 wonders of  websites”, “7 wonders of Nature”, “7 wonders of sport”, “7 wonders of my city/town/village”, “ Seven wonders around me”, “ 7 wonders of learning English”. My pupils grade 8 have discussed about “7 wonders of learning English” and they discovered 7 points.

“Seven wonders of learning English”:
