Lesson Planning: Assignment 3
Prepare a lesson plan that outlines 1 hour of teaching for an advanced-level, multilingual class of 10 adult students. Plan activities that involve collaborative learning and creativity.
The lesson plan must include:
-
a lesson theme
-
at least one grammar point that will be highlighted
-
at least 4 different teaching methods (click on "catalogue" tab for ideas)
-
links to any texts, images, songs, videos or other materials used (or include them on page 2 of the lesson plan)
LESSON THEME
Exploring action through Film
Why?
Being an advanced class, the class should have good command over the English Language, and be able to start generating content, especially creative content, in English.
Lesson Goals:
Successfully describe in detail and the correct sequence what in events the class watched in video
Possess and expand their vocabulary to describe actions, emotions, and reactions,
Be able to produce as a group, their own version of a "Mr. Bean" video script, in English.
Additional Resources
GRAMMAR POINT
Practice with Sequence. Allowing students to describe things in sequence gives lots of room to play around with verb tenses, and sequence verbs. Example:
"First, Mr. Bean went to the dentist."
"Next, Mr. Bean sat in the chair"
"After that, Mr. Bean is cleaning his jacket"
"Finally, Mr. Bean will hide the needle"
"Lastly, Mr. Bean will hurt the dentist"
Ideally learning to use the verbs they already know, to describe actions, and the order in which they take place. Students can practice using Past, Present Participle, and Future tense of verbs.
LESSON PLAN
First 5mins:
Get the class situated, and start off watching the video.
Second 15mins:
A combination of the Chaos Theory and the Community Language Learning approach. Ask the students to describe the actions they saw in the film, scene by scene, to the entire class. Use the sentences the students come up with to build a rudimentary script, similar to the one listed above under Grammar Point.
Third 20mins:
Break the students up into two groups (5 each), and have each group write their own short "Mr. Bean" type film script. The class being multilingual, will further force the students to communicate their ideas in English. Encourage the students to use what they have in their Personal Phrase Book, or their Universal Language Generator.
Fourth 15mins:
Once the groups are finished, have each one come up and act out their script. The actual acting should only take a minute or two, but while they are acting our their script, have the other group that's not presenting do something similar to what they did with the original video. Write down, scene by scene, what the other group is doing. The actor group may have to perform once or twice, so the writing students can write down everything they need to. Once this is finished, have the acting group read out their script, and compare them with what the writing group wrote down, and laugh about the differences. At the half way point, swap the groups roles, and repeat.
Fifth 5mins:
Review the terms of sequence, and have the students add them to their Universal Language Generator, perhaps in their own column, so they can better describe events to others.
