Sample Lesson Plan – Secondary Level

(2) Presentation

Activities

Multilevel activities:
Think-Pair-Share: Students begin by writing down some reasons why they like and/ or dislike each of the four seasons including reasons why, descriptions of activities they like to do during those seasons, etc. Students then work with a partner to orally discuss what they wrote down. The teacher instructs them to take notes while talking to their partner since they are going to present this information by paraphrasing what their partner has shared with them. Each student then informally presents some of their partner’s preferences to the rest of the class.


Four Skills:

• 
  Listening: Students listen to their partners in pair discussions. They also listen to the informal student presentations given in class.
  
• 
  Speaking: Students converse with partners and then present information to the class.
  
• 
  Reading: Students look at the visual aids presented by the teacher during the warm-up.
  
• 
  Writing: Students write down their personal preferences and then take notes during pair discussions.
  

(3) Practice
1. Students are encouraged to paraphrase the information their partners share with them during the pair discussions to check their comprehension before presenting to the rest of the class. Prior to this, the teacher reviews the learning strategy of paraphrasing.
2. Students practice using English for both personal expression and for sharing the views of others.


(4) Evaluation
1. Students are able to write down some of their likes and dislikes in English.
2. Students are able to work with a partner and able to accurately share and paraphrase information which their partner communicated to them.


(5) Expansion/ Extension
