Teaching Practice 3
Elementary level

Description

In this lesson, students will review and practice forming simple questions about their daily routines to learn about each other. Through this they will also practice answering in the affirmative and negative form and form their own questions and answers. They will build up fluency and use/review some vocabulary they have learned in former lessons.

Materials

Main Aims

  • To provide fluency and accuracy while forming questions in the context of students' daily routines.

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide practice and review about already learned vocabulary about daily routines and to build up confidence.

Procedure

Lead-in (3-4 minutes) • Keeping the focus on daily routines in a funny way

Will show a short youtube clip (ca. 1:42 min) of Wallace and Gromit (How Gromit takes care of Wallace in the morning). It will be the last class before lunch time and this video will help the students to stay focused about the topic of daily routines in a funny way.

Survey (7-8 minutes) • Understanding and answering questions

Ss have to elicit answers from other students to eight already prepared questions. Focus is to speak more freely with their partners in the respective groups but also to be able to form answers and to learn about each other.

Speaking practice (5-7 minutes) • Fluency

- Students share about what they have learned about each other. I will take some time to correct the sentences and have them repeat and understand the sentences with the focus on daily routines. - XY, what have you learned about XZ? I have to make sure that students are using the correct grammar when talking about the subjects (add an "s" to the verb, etc.) - Delayed error correction in order to help them with their fluency.

Speaking (3-4 minutes) • Confidence build up

Ss are asked to find someone they have similarities with outside their group.

Gap-fill handout (8-10 minutes) • Fluency, reading practice

Will divide Ss into groups with an even number (depending on how many ss will be there it should be around 4 groups). The WS is divided into 4 groups and each group discusses the paragraph according to their group number. Explain Italics first! - Each ss gets a "Who Am I?" WS and discusses daily routines within their respective groups. - Depending on time: They switch to the next activity (if they are group 1 they switch to 2, and so on).

Speaking (4-5 minutes) • Forming simple questions

They ask people outside their own groups about their likes and dislikes. Basically a review about asking questions and forming affirmative and negative answers. Ss from group 1 ask group 3 and Ss from group 2 ask group 4. I am explaining to them with the WS, pointing out their respective groups and giving out examples (maybe about what I would like to do). - What do you like to have for breakfast? or - What do you like to eat in the morning? What do you like to drink in the morning? (coffee, tea, etc.)

Delayed error corrections (3-4 minutes) • To build up fluency with correct grammar

I will write down some sentences I heard and point out common mistakes and let the ss correct it. Ss can also ask questions about sentences they don't understand. (I want to do that in between also, this is just the last bit to wrap it up).

Game: Hangman (3-4 minutes) • Guessing words, listening practice

All the ss have to guess words together focussing on the words about daily routine.
