Lesson Plan
1. Hello Song / 5 minutes (recommended for younger groups)
2. Recap last session's target language / 5 minutes
Take out the flashcards from the last session and see who remembers the words or phrases
3. Story: (On the Moon) / 10 minutes
With these two lessons, we are focusing on teaching the vocabulary related to the experience of travelling to the moon. You may use simple sentences using simple present to describe I see stars, I see moon, I fly up, I walk on the moon. It is also a good idea to revise the jobs using Flash cards and practice what each job does.
Read through the book, concentrate on encouraging repetition of your target words and or phrases. Give time for the STs to see all the details in the pictures.
4. Game / 15 minutes
Introduce the flashcards one by one, displaying each one on the wall. Encourage the group to repeat the words several times as they are introduced. This can be done before or after the story.
Play some vocabulary integration games to make it fun and enhance word retention.
Example FC game: Memory. Place the FCs on the wall or stick them up on the wall (face down) and ask the STs to guess what cards there are in all. Now hide one or two FCs and ask the STs to point what cards are missing and which ones are not
For older groups, now drill down to aim at the target language listed next to Extra Traction and, according to the level, Extra Prep. above.
5. Song / 10 minutes (recommended for younger groups)
Recommended for groups under 8 years. Older groups can move straight onto the individual activity time.
6. Individual activity/ 10 - 20 minutes
The aim of this section in the session is to spend time with each ST individually. Encourage each ST to either repeat vocabulary and sentences or to produce them independently, depending on their level.
Initiation HO: can be used for colouring as you interact with each ST individually or, for olders, explain and request that they follow the instructions for the exercise.
7. Recap / 5 minutes
Briefly, have STs recall the vocabulary they just learned.
8. Goodbye Song / 5 minutes (recommended for younger groups)
Remember to consult our level guideline regularly to ensure the best progression for your groups.
