Prepare a lesson plan that outlines 1 hour of teaching for an intermediate-level, multilingual class of 20 teenage students. Prepare activities that allow students to develop all four skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Use at least one activity that allows the students to express their creativity.
|
|
|
|
The lesson plan must include:
|
|
|
|
- a lesson theme
|
|
|
|
- a list of all vocabulary that will be taught (8-10 phrases)
|
|
|
|
- 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)
|
|
|
|

FEEDBACK
|
|
|
|
Great work! The theme is ideal for the class - teenagers are usually interested in tech. The activities you chose are centered on the theme and progress very well, one to the next. You're showing you have a good grasp of how to combine teaching methods. Suggestion: (1) The first activity and grammar point may be quite easy for intermediates. You could make it more challenging by focusing on the simple past tense, e.g. in the good news/bad news exercise, have the students create a story in the simple past: "The good news was, I could play games with my friends."

|
# LESSON THEME
|
|
|
|
Technology
|
|
|
|
Why? Very likely the class of teenagers are familiar with various bits of technology already, and employee several facets of it in their day to day lives. Being able to relate words to what they already know, should help in retention and helping them see the practical value of it.

|
|
|

|
# GRAMMAR POINT
|
|
|
|
Focus in on "I like to watch cat videos on Youtube", specifically in the structure:
|
|
|
|
- I like to + VERB + OBJECT + PLACE
|
|
|
|
It applies to any variety of things they might like to do, but in theme with the lesson, focus specifically on the use of the structure in/on technology.
|
|
|
|
- "I like to play games on my Xbox"
|
|
|
|
- "I like to scroll posts on TikTok"
|
|
|
|
- "I like to watch cooking shows on Youtube"
|
|
|
|
After the structure is understood, encourage students to write a few of their own for ~5mins, and then call on various ones to share one or two. After that, let them all share them with each other.
|
|
|
|
# LESSON PLAN
|
|
|
|
1st 15mins:
|
|
|
|
Starting off with the Audio-Lingual Method, getting the students to hear and say the phrases exactly as I say them. Being intermediate, they should already know the words for basic objects like computer, phone, online, etc. We can build on that foundation, by incorporating these words into phrases with actions & verbs in them. Being multilingual, offering a translation in each students mother tongue isn't really practical, so instead, pictures (or better yet, actual objects that are likely already in the room) would probably be the best way moving forward.
|
|
|
|
2nd 20mins:
|
|
|
|
Good News Bad News method, using the phrases above. The teacher can go through a quick demo with the class, maybe four sentences as follows:
|
|
|
|
"The good news, is I can play games with my friends"
|
|
|
|
"The bad news, is my computer crashed"
|
|
|
|
"The good news, is I restarted my computer"
|
|
|
|
"The bad news, is my friends all fell asleep"
|
|
|
|
After 5/10mins of explanation, have the students write their own stories, expressing their own lives or writing creatively. They only need a few sentences, using words and phrases we learned today combined with things they already know, and then share them with everyone else in the class, and listen to their stories too.
|
|
|
|
3rd 20mins:
|
|
|
|
Have students return to their seats, and then use a Reverse Précis Method, themed around technology. Let them take their "Good News, Bad News" sentences, and have them turn them into a ~300 word paragraph, that they would post on social media about their experience. If time allows, let a few students read theirs to the class, and let the rest of the class critique it.
|
|
|
|
4th 5mins:
|
|
|
|
Bring everyone back to their seats again, and have them write the phrases their "Universal Language Generator". Being intermediate students, I should hope they have one by now.
