My House
elementry level

Description

In this part of the lesson, students will learn the different sections of the house and how to say their position in each. At first, I want them to draw the map of their house. Then I brought a toy house with four doll house people. After introducing and teaching different sections of the house and what the dolls are doing, I practice the new words while students have access to the them. The next practices become more challenging as students have to make sentences and say what their family is doing and where they are. As far as there is no electronic screen in the classroom, I have no choice but to use flashcards and other materials to motivate them. I try to review the last lessons in the process of teaching the new lesson so that they may not feel intimidated. It is a multilevel class. As a result, I teach in a way to send help to students who haven't attended outside-school English classes. The students holding far higher level of knowledge are given other materials and practices. As the time of learning is about one hour and half, I try to devote 5 to 6 minutes to taking a break and fill the time of the last minutes of the class by playing a game.
