Topic: Asking and Answering Questions to Get Information

Level: Form 1 Students (CEFR A2-B1)

Duration: 60 Minutes

Learning Theory: Behaviorism

Language Aspect: Asking and Answering Questions

Objective:

- Students will be able to ask and answer questions to get information.

- Students will practice speaking in pairs and groups to enhance fluency and accuracy.

Materials:

- Dialogue scripts

- Audio recordings of dialogues

- Visual aids (pictures or flashcards)

- Recording devices (phones, computers, etc.)

Lesson Plan:

Introduction (10 minutes)

1. Greeting and Objective Explanation:

- Greet students and explain the lesson's objectives.

- Inform students that they will learn how to ask and answer questions to get information.

2. Warm-up Activity:

- Show a picture of a school event (e.g., a school fair).

- Ask students simple questions about the picture (e.g., "What can you see in the picture?").

Listening Activity (10 minutes)

1. Dialogue Introduction:

- Play an audio recording of a dialogue twice.

- First listening: Have students listen for general understanding.

- Second listening: Have students follow along with the provided script.

2. Review Dialogue:

- Display the dialogue script on the screen.

- Discuss the key phrases used for asking and answering questions.

Group Activity: Role Play (25 minutes)

1. Pair Work (15 minutes):

- Divide students into pairs.

- Provide each pair with a dialogue script related to asking and answering questions.

- Task A:

- Pairs practice reading the dialogue aloud.

- Play the audio again and have them repeat after the recording.

- Task B:

- Students create their own dialogues using their names and a scenario (e.g., asking about a school event).

- Swap partners and practice the new dialogues.

2. Group Activity (10 minutes):

- Form small groups of four.

- Activity:

- Each student takes turns asking and answering questions about an imaginary event (e.g., a school trip).

- Encourage students to use complete sentences and provide detailed answers.

- Challenge:

- Groups perform their dialogues without scripts.

Main Session Review (10 minutes)

1. Class Performance:

- Bring the class back together.

- Ask a few pairs or groups to perform their dialogues in front of the class.

2. Feedback:

- Provide positive reinforcement for correct pronunciation and use of phrases.

- Offer constructive feedback on areas needing improvement.

Assessment (5 minutes)

1. Voice Recording Submission:

- Instruct students to record their dialogues at home.

- Ensure they practice both asking and answering roles.

- Submit recordings via Google Classroom or other platforms.

2. Individual Feedback:

- Review recordings and provide personalized feedback on pronunciation, fluency, and accuracy.

- Highlight areas of improvement and commend good performance.

Example Dialogue Script:

Person A: Hi, can I ask you a question?

Person B: Sure, go ahead.

Person A: What time does the school fair start?

Person B: It starts at 10 AM. Are you planning to go?

Person A: Yes, I am. What about you?

Person B: I'll be there too. See you at the fair!

Notes for Teachers:

- Reinforce correct behavior by praising accurate responses and efforts.

- Use simple language and visuals to aid comprehension.

- Encourage practice outside of class to build confidence and fluency.

This lesson plan aligns with behaviorism by emphasizing repetition, practice, and reinforcement to help students master asking and answering questions in English.

Topic: Telling Time

Target: 7 year old

Objective:

By the end of the lesson, students should be able to:

express the time using numbers (e.g., "It's 3 o'clock").

Materials:

• Analog clock with movable hands

• Digital clock or pictures of digital clocks

• Flashcards with times written on them (e.g., 1:00, 2:00, etc.)

• Worksheets with clock faces

• Markers and crayons

• Small reward items (e.g., stickers)

• Music player and music (for movement activity)

  
  

Lesson Structure

1. Introduction (10 Minutes)

• Greeting and Warm-up: Welcome students and ask them simple questions (e.g., "How are you today?")

• Movement Activity:

  • Musical Clocks: Play a song and ask students to march around the room. When the music stops, they need to find a spot in the room and freeze.

  • Show them the large analog clock and explain that each time the music stops, you will show a different time on the clock.

  • Ask students to mimic the clock hands with their arms, showing the time you've displayed (e.g., if the clock shows 3 o'clock, students should point one arm straight up and the other arm to the side).

• Objective Sharing: Explain that today we will learn how to tell time and that we will practice saying the time together.

2. Direct Instruction (15 Minutes)

• Modeling: Use the large analog clock to show how to tell the time. Move the hands to show different hours and say the time out loud (e.g., "This is 3 o'clock").

• Repetition: Repeat the process with different times. Encourage students to say the time with you.

• Visual Aids: Show digital clocks or pictures of them displaying the same times.

3. Guided Practice (15 Minutes)

• Group Activity: Divide students into small groups and give each group a set of flashcards with times and a small analog clock with movable hands.

• Practice: Ask each group to set their clock to the time on the flashcard and then say the time out loud. Rotate the flashcards so each group practices with different times.

• Reinforcement: Walk around the room, providing praise and assistance as needed. Give stickers for correct responses.

4. Independent Practice (10 Minutes)

• Worksheets: Distribute worksheets with clock faces. Ask students to draw the hands on the clocks to show specific times (e.g., "Draw the hands to show 4 o'clock").

• Quiet Work Time: Allow students to work independently. Offer help as needed.

5. Review and Assessment (5 Minutes)

• Quick Review: Use the large analog clock to review some of the times covered. Ask individual students to come up and show a time you call out.

• Assessment: Give a quick oral quiz by showing times on the large clock and asking students to say the time.

6. Closure (5 Minutes)

• Recap: Summarize what was learned. Ask students to tell the time for a few examples.

• Praise and Rewards: Hand out stickers or small rewards to students for their participation and effort.

• Goodbye: Thank the students for their hard work and say goodbye.
