English for All - Beginners 2

Date: May 26, 2011

Teacher: Marika Kroll

Lesson Objectives

1. Students will be able to understand how to make excuses

2. Ss will be able to have a conversation about making plans.

3. Ss will be able to use future with the present continuous.

4. Ss will be able to use “be going to.”

5. Ss will be able to use vocabulary to discuss leisurely activities.

Materials

Blackboard and chalk, Interchange, computer, photocopies (pages- 101), scan (pages: 100) Powerpoint.

POWERPOINT.

Procedure

1.) WARM UP (5 min)

Objective: T will get Ss talking by having an informal conversation.

a.) Brief icebreakers (T asks: Hello! How was your weekend? What did you do?)

Evaluation: T will gauge Ss motivation for the day by the way they begin the class.

2.) Vocabulary: PPP (15 min) (Marika)

Objective: T will assess Ss ability to understand new vocabulary based on their participation in class and the answers that they give to questions asked.

Transition: Ok, now let’s get started with class. Last week we talked about types of food and using neither or either and too or so.

a.) Presentation: On PPT, have a slide that has several excuses, like I’m sorry, I can’t; I’m busy that night; I have to work tonight. “Do you know what these mean? These are excuses. An excuse can be something you say when you want to explain why you can’t do something. If someone asks you a question, you can answer with an excuse.”

b.) Practice: Have a PPT slide with the Snapshot (p. 100) and ask Ss to read each excuse. As we go through each excuse, ask “Do you know what this excuse means? Which of these excuses have you used?”

c.) Production: Pass out worksheet for Ss to complete. If there is not enough class time, this will be a homework assignment.

d.) “What excuses are rude? What excuses do you think are good to use? What is another excuse you can say? Maybe you could say: I have a headache or I can’t, I have class tonight.

Evaluation: T will gauge Ss understanding of making excuses by how well they do during the practice and production.

3.) Grammar: PPP (20 min) (Marika)

Objective: Ss will be able to use future tense with present continuous and be going to.

Transition: Now we are going to learn about something new!

a.)Presentation: Have fill-in-the-blank sentences on the powerpoint. “Do you know how to fill in these sentences What words are missing from these sentences?”

Ex: Jamie: What ______ you ______ tonight? (are - doing)

Marika: I’m working. _______ you _______ anything tomorrow? (are - doing)

“Do these words look familiar?”

b.) “We are going to talk about these words in the future. So, tomorrow, or a week from now or a year from now.”

c.) Practice: Pass out worksheet that I created for future tense.

d.) Then, have Ss create sentences using these words. (Time permitting)

e.) Presentation: “We can also use the words be going to, to talk about the future.”

f.) Practice: Pull up a picture of an up-to-date calendar. Ask these questions: “Are you going to do anything Friday, Rayan? How about you, Millen?”

g.) Production: Pass out p. 101 “OK, now we are going to do this activity right here. (Activity 3.A) Let’s do the first one together. For the first blank, you will use “to be” for the second blank, you will use the word in the parenthesis. (Show what a parenthesis is on their worksheet.) To save time, instead of having Ss write answers, I will call on them to fill in the blanks.

h.) Do Activity B, time permitting.

Evaluation: T will gauge Ss understanding of how to use the future tense with present continuous and ‘be going to’.

HOMEWORK:

Assessment

Ts will assess Ss’ retention of the material from last week by continuing the use what we have discussed in previous weeks. T will introduce new material and will asses Ss understanding of new vocabulary and a new grammar point.

Anticipated Problems

  1. Ss may have trouble remembering the material we learned last week.
  2. The Internet, CD, computer, or projector may not work.
  3. Ss may need extra time to complete the practice activities.
  4. Ss may be reluctant to participate during class.
  5. Ss may not understand explanation of grammar.
  6. Ss may confuse vocabulary terms.
