Comment: You have activities for children, but are no longer following the lesson plan format that you learned in module 10. For me to be able to pass this you would need to demonstrate that you can use the PPP Approach to teach the five verbs to children. I am afraid this does not do that.
Thanks,

These were my lesson plans can you please help me

Think of a game or activity which could help young learners develop their speaking skills (do not use those already mentioned in the module) and describe, step by step, how you would play it with your class. Note: in this game/activity the learners should talk to each other using sentences rather than single words. The class is beginner or elementary level.
(Please write a minimum of 100 words)

Answer:

Teaching Elementary Game,Activity to young learners. Vocabulary: banana, apple, pear, peach, orange, broccoli, sprout, sweet corn, sausage. “This is a …‘I like to eat….I don’t like to eat………..I like to drink ….and eat …….. Activity: Food and Drink? I will have various coloured pictures of food and drinks on the white board. I will place the children in a circle and have realia plastic fruit and vegetables. I will sit at 12 O’çlock and organise the children in a circle to play the game. I will ask the class while miming and holding up the fruit or vegetable, “What is this?”. ‘What food do you like?’ I will hold up a picture or realia of a piece of fruit, ‘Banana’, and ask for the circle class to repeat. Then, ‘Apple’ and ask for the class to repeat. I go back to the banana and ask them what is it?. ‘Banana’ and then hold up the apple, and ask for what is it?. I will show lots more fruit then vegetables, then drink. I will then show the banana picture and say with my thumbs up and nodding my head, ‘I like to ‘eat’ bananas’ and elicit a repetition. ‘I don’t like to eat pears’ holding my thumbs down and shaking my head. I ask for them to repeat. (Drilling) I will get the students to tell each other in pairs what they like and don’t like to eat and drink. I will reassemble the circle and go around asking again. What is this holding up realia?. I will pass the object clockwise to next student and they ask their friend and , “What is this to reinforce and drill the lesson and vocabulary. The final student I will ask to hold up realia and I will answer clearly and precisely. If during the activity I hear incorrect vocabulary I will illicit help.
