You are teaching a mono lingual class of 8 year olds. There are 20 students in the class. This is the beginning of their second year of learning English. Write a 45 minute lesson plan with the following objective:

Pre-plan
Level, age: elementary, 8 years old
Lesson length: 50 minutes
Aim: six new action verbs
Target language: new verbs run, jump, sing, sit, and sleep.
Assumed knowledge: the beginners’ are expected to have knowledge of other action verbs, either related with the new words or not.
Can use some essential sentences structures such as: wants to, he/she ….he can and I … he/she cannot or he/she does not…
Expected problems: the beginners’ might struggle to acquire all the new verbs.
There is high possibility that students might have forgotten or i f hey remember have to struggle to remember all the previous thought verbs as well as sentence structures.
Solutions: repetition is essential throughout the lesson with students given a chance to repeat the phrase
• Prepare activity for example a game focusing on the previously thought vocabulary
• Revision of previously written homework from the previous lesson is essential
Preparation and Aids: pictures of people carrying out some activities as well as the handout for assignment
Lesson plan
Stage 1 Activity:
• Start lesson with game; play bingo with the previously nouns and verbs
• Revise assignment from the previous lesson
Interaction: T-S Time: 5 minutes
Stage 2 Activity:
• Use flash cards to provoke activities; read, sing, run, play, write
• Put pictures on board
Interaction: S-T: 5minutes
Stage 3 Activity:
• Present sentences using ‘I can’t ……try sing and provoke I can’t sing, sleep and prove ‘I can sleep’. In case the sentences cannot be provoked, feed them to the class. Before the end of the lesson, the sentences should be repeated several times.
Stage 4 Activity;
• Drill individually. More focus is put on the pronoun can and can’t.
• I can sleep….
• I can’t sleep.
The negative form of these words has different pronunciations thus helps students to differentiate the two words while pronouncing them.
Interaction: T-S-T Time: 5 minutes
Stage 5 activity:
Provoke the question form, and put more emphasis on the short answers. Highlight the different ways to pronounce the word can
Example :
“Can you sleep?”
“Yes, I can.”
“No, I can’t.”
The word can is weak in ‘can you sleep?’ since it is not stressed. It is however strong in ‘yes, I can.
Interaction: S-T& T Time: 4 minutes
Stage 6 activity: start the control of questions and answers around the class….
Interaction: T-S-S Time: 6 minutes
Stage 7 activity
Write up goal language on the board and examine any doubts.
Interaction: T-S Time: 8 minutes
Stage 8 activity:
