Part B
My lesson plan is based on Chapter 9 Looking Good, Feeling Great! from the English Form 2 textbook. For the set induction I did not use the activity given because my students are lowintermediate students. It would be hard for the students to interpret the saying and discuss it in a group. Also, conducting such activity would take up much of my lesson time. This might make the students restless and I may lose control of my class. It would be difficult for me to continue the rest of my lesson if I lose their attention at an early stage. So, I opt to use a cartoon strip to focus my student’s attention titled “How to wash our face?” This cartoon strip has a significant message on personal hygiene and clearly shows the use of sequence connectors. I would also be able to inculcate some relevant moral values. My presentation would cover a very basic explanation of sequence connectors and the usage of it. Moreover this is their first lesson on sequence connectors so I would start with easy and important points for them to understand the topic. I am going to focus mainly on the use of ‘first, next, then and finally’. I have gathered some information about sequence connectors from the internet and also from the textbook itself. I plan to use again the same cartoon strip for the students that to elaborate my explanation on the usage of this sequence connectors. This is because I can reinforce the input using the same input and I would have more time to explain on personal hygiene.
I have decided to use the practice provided in the textbook itself for the practice stage because I find the exercise is related to the students directly. It may be seen as a very easy lesson
but I have incorporated listening skill in this exercise. I modified the lesson by deleting the sequence connectors so the students can fill in the blanks after I have read the speech. To check student’s further understanding I have provided the students with practice stage 2. This activity is a group activity where students work together to come up with a sentence using the picture given. At the end all the sentences would become a process using sequence connectors. The first exercise is more to an individual activity which is teacher centered and the second is more to student centered where I can check students understanding. This exercise would help them to cooperate with each other to answer the question. To close the lesson, I would reiterate the teaching point and conclude with an open -ended question related to the skill taught.
