Writing a lesson plan will ensure that you are prepared for your class and will make it run more smoothly. It is important to break the material up into several sections and choose activities suitable for each. Knowing approximately how much time an activity will take is important, but after the first lesson you may need to adjust things accordingly. It is best to be flexible seeing as different classes will respond to material differently. If at any point students struggle, you will have to dedicate more time to instruction or drilling before moving on to practice activities. For the purposes of this example let’s assume that an English class is forty-five minutes long. Does your own lesson plan look like this? 1Warm up A warm up activity can be used in a number of ways. The idea behind a lesson plan is that another teacher could pick it up and successfully teach your class without further instructions. Not all lessons will be conducted the same.

Lesson Plans Using Film Adaptations of Novels and Short Stories A TWM ARTICLE:Lesson Plans Using Film Adaptations of Novels, Short Stories or Plays— With Discussion Questions and Assignments For a list of movies frequently shown as adaptations of literary works, see TWM's Adaptations Index. Used appropriately, movies based on novels or short stories can supplement units based on the written original, enhance students' interest in analyzing the written work, and motivate classes to excel in completing assignments that teach the skills required by the ELA curriculum. Filmed versions of plays supply the same benefits and often provide an experience that is close to viewing a live performance. Studying a cinematic adaptation of a literary work will show students how words are converted to visual media and allow a comparison of the written original to the cinematic version, permitting teachers to highlight the techniques of both film and the written word in telling a story. Assignment: [Describe a scene in the film.] III.

An ESL Listening Lesson Plan Template I Had no Idea about How to Teach ESL Listening I’m always surprised when I get reader questions or talk to people preparing for their upcoming job interviews that they don’t know how to make a basic lesson plan. But, it’s not so crazy and I actually had no system of any sort until I took the CELTA course a few years back. After that course, I could recite the basic ESL listening lesson plan in my sleep! The ESL listening lesson plan that I’m going to share with you today is modelled after that and it can provide you a solid foundation upon which to expand and adjust to suit the needs of your own class. ESL Listening Plan Template Step #1: Set the Context It’s really difficult for our students if we start the class off by getting straight into the task. What I’m saying is that you need to help your students ease into the lesson by letting them get used to speaking English again. During one of my CELTA lessons, I was given a listening exercise dealing with medical dilemmas. Price Disclaimer

An ESL Reading lesson plan template I Had No Idea, too I’m always surprised when I get reader questions or talk to people preparing for their upcoming ESL job interviews that they don’t know how to make a basic lesson plan. But, it’s not so crazy I guess and I actually had no system of any sort until I took the CELTA course a few years back.

ESL Speaking Lesson Plan Template An ESL Speaking Lesson Plan Template Whenever I talk to people who are preparing a lesson plan or a demo lesson in order to get ready for an ESL teaching job interview, I’m always surprised that many people really have no idea how to plan a lesson. I was pretty clueless too, until I took the CELTA and the DELTA where my trainers beat this ESL speaking lesson plan template into my head such that I could basically recite it in my sleep. A short disclaimer. “Speaking” is not enough of a lesson plan objective in itself. You need to put it together with something else, perhaps a grammar point or some new vocabulary. ESL Speaking Lesson Plan: Context At the beginning of the lesson, you need to set the context. You can set the context in a few different ways, but an excellent way is to get students to talk with their partner for a couple of minutes about a certain topic. Don’t control the language they use, but use it as kind of a warm-up to activate any of their previous knowledge.

Sherlock Holmes Wendy: The streets of London are full of history. But not all the famous characters associated with this city were real. More than a hundred years ago when people travelled by horse and cart and the foggy streets were lit by gaslight, one famous detective was leading the fight against crime. It was Victorian London, the time of Sherlock Holmes. Träna de fyra färdigheterna i engelska med skönlitteratur - Del III Eleverna har ju under föregående lektioner fått skriva de glosförhör de förberedde för varandra. Idag kommer jag att kortfattat kommentera hur det gick till. De flesta är också färdiga med sina korta sammanfattningar om Hemingway. Se föregående inlägg här. Gloskollen Eleverna fick skriva sina glosförhör och rätta dem själva. När de hade rättat sina test fick de svara på en kort enkät som handlade om hur de hade pluggat. Lektion 5 Jag inleder med en kort återkoppling (enligt ovan) till eleverna kring deras glosförhör. Sedan är det dags för kamratrespons på deras sammanfattningar om Hemingway. Jag har redan i förväg delat upp och anonymiserat texter och delar nu ut två anonyma texter till varje elev som de ska ge respons på. Nu är det dags att läsa nästa novell och det blir så klart en novell av Hemingway: "Hills Like White Elephants" från 1927. Lektion 6 Under nästa lektionspass har eleverna i huvudsak tre uppgifter att arbeta med i en given ordning: Kommande lektioner
