Lesson
Syllabus fit: According to the Ukrainian National Programme for Schools and National Curriculum students of the 4th form have to give information about the place where they live, and my students live in Kyiv. And they have to act short dialogues, acting different roles. During this lesson they’d act in short dialogues and tell about Kyiv, as far as this is the place where they live, I think the lesson fits to the syllabus. By the end of the year 4th formers have to be able to tell about their place of living, and they live in Kyiv.
Class profile: I have a group of form 4A. There are 8 students of 9-10 years old. They have been studying English for 4 years already. All this time they have been working with the same teacher, me. Most of these students are enthusiastic and eager to work, but sometimes they are lazy or misbehave. Their level of English is really high, and I talk English for the whole lesson, I do not use L1 in this group. They are mostly active, but noisy. That’s why I have to think carefully about huge amount of activities for every lesson, or they can just start talking if they have nothing to do. There is one girl who can be very inattentive listener, so some repetitions are needed to be done, too. Also, there’s a boy who was born in Great Britain, so he understands English easily and he’s a fast-thinker, too. I must prepare some additional tasks for him, because he can be the fastest in doing exercises and tasks. In my opinion, I have to try the same tasks before on the base of other texts in order not to get the students’ loss or misbehaving.
