Workshop 8

Reflection.

Lesson plan is the instructor's road map of what students need to learn and how it will be done effectively during the class time.Then, you design appropriate learning activities and develop strategies to obtain feedback on student learning. Having a carefully constructed lesson plan for each lesson allows you to enter the classroom with more confidence and maximizes your chance of having a meaningful learning experience with your students. Before today's session we didn't know about Six Steps Lessons. We have Pre, While and Post parts in the lesson planning. We learned about Six Steps lesson: warm-up, presentation, practice, application, wrap-up/assessment, follow-up. According to this six steps lesson I prepared a sample lesson ''Lesson2 Sunny days are lovely!''grade 5th.

Lesson title: Sunny days are lovely!

Students profile: grade 5, age 10-11, elementary.

Skills to be emphasized: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Language focus: learn to form adjectives by adding -y at the end nouns, talk about kinds of weather and symbols of forecasting, new vocabulary(fog, cloud, wind, dark, light, ice).

Objectives: SWBAT know: - talk about the kinds of weather and symbols of forecasting; use adjectives with the weather.

Lesson plan

1.Warm-up. Listen and sing a song about the weather.

''Fluency line'' activity. I remind the pupils that they hada task before to watch the weather forecast on TV, they should have noted what weather was expected today in different regions. I ask my pupils to stand in two lines face to face and ask each other questions to find out what the weather is like in different regions.

3.Presentation. Exercise 2a page73. Match the words and pictures. I present new words( ice, fog, rain, snow, wind, cloud, sun) and explain how to make adjectives from nouns by adding the suffix -y at the end of the nouns.

4.Practice. Exercise 2b on page 73. Look and say what kind of day it is.

5. Application. Exercise 2c on page 73. Work in pairs. Ask and answer.

Activity ''Gallery Walk''. Students work in groups. Every group presents their portfolios about the weather in different seasons, they should draw about the weather in spring, summer, autumn, winter.

6. Wrap-up/ assessment. ''Exit ticket'' activity. Pupils should say one word or phrase which they have learned from the lesson by touching their hands with their teacher.

7.Follow-up. Exercise 3c on page 73. Wrote the weather in your place.

I think a good lesson plan is imperative to effective teaching. A productive lesson is not one in which everything goes exactly as planned, but one in which both students and teacher learn from each other.
