LESSON PLAN
A. Students and Setting:
The students are aged 7-8 y.o., 2nd grade, have been studying English for one and a half year.
Setting
It is a public school; there are 30 students in the class. They have two 40 minutes lessons of English per week; they never use the language outside the class. The group consists of 22 boys and 8 girls. Their parents rarely can help them with English, so they cannot practice at home. I try to use TPR exercises due to the amount of kinesthetic children in the class.
B. Lesson Background:
The pupils know English ABC, basic phonics, most of them can read basic words they have learned. They can identify numbers, school things, toys, animals and job names. They can say their name, say and understand short simple sentences.
This is the second lesson of a new module. On the first lesson the new vocabulary was introduced (teacher, pupil, housewife, fireman, pilot) and read the story in their textbooks. Today they have to practice saying what people’s jobs are, to practice to choose between he and she for describing people, to practice speaking and working in groups. The next lesson will be for more jobs words and developing the ability to describe their family members’ jobs. In a story, it is not easy for some of them to identify the words of each character of a story while reading it. So, on the previous lesson this has been taught as well. The pupils have already had an experience of group plays, so they have already had the criteria of the assessment developed earlier (appendix 1). There is a bell for the case if the children are speaking too loudly
C. Learning Objectives/Expected Results:
Students will be able to read and apply the new vocabulary, simulate using it in the real context, improve their English skills and group working skills.
Vocabulary: teacher, pupil, housewife, fireman, pilot, hero
Structures: Is he a..(pilot)? – Yes, he is/No, he isn’t
Leaning outcomes: to identify job words, to act out a short story
D. Materials and Sources:
Materials
A story poster from the previous lesson, a Student’s Book, a tape recorder, a CD with the audio of the story; job flashcards, a video recorder, a video with the Hello and Good bye songs (Appendix 3-4), a poster with criteria of acting in groups (Appendix 2 ). Some objects to identify the characters in the play: a toy pan for Grandma, a cap for Billy, a cap for Rosy, a plastic bottle instead of a hose for Grandpa. A bell to make a signal for the class if they are working too loudly and when the time of the group work is finished.

Says: You have a time limit (8 minutes) so please don’t waste your time. Don’t forget – there is our bell which reminds us if we are too loud working in groups
Divide the class into groups of four. Each child gets a different role: Billy, Rosy, Grandpa, Grandma. Circulates from group to group to help with actions, to make sure that each student knows what to say and how to act. Determines which students have difficulty pronouncing the words and helps them and asks the other students to help.

Alternative Assessment Comments:
A simple checklist of the groups’ names and rubrics is used by students and a teacher to asses the students’ work. There is 12 points grade system, so each student gets 1- 3 points for each criterion, together 12 maximum. While one group is performing, the others are evaluating by making notes in the checklist. During the discussion stage, the evaluation is explained by a different representative of the group, and each group gets a grade point average. Each student of the group gets the same grade, but incentive bonuses are possible and stimulate creativity, assistance, high language proficiency.
