ENGLISH
Unit 1 (Going to School), Lesson 2
Level: Primary 1
Date: 4 August 2015
Time/ Duration: 60’
Number of students: 28
Main aims:
- to create interest in reading and listening to the next part of the story The Gruffalo, by Julia Donaldson
and Axel Scheffler;
- to identify and read vocabulary related to body parts;
- to practise taking turns and listening to a partner reading short words;
- to listen to simple instructions and follow them – Rally Read & Round Robin (Simon Says);
Language Focus:
- to recycle the vocabulary items from the previous lesson (hair, face, ear, eye, nose, mouth, teeth, knee,
toe; tusks, jaws, claws) and introduce new ones (head, tongue, arm, hand, finger, thumb, finger, leg, foot,
back, prickles);
Assumed Knowledge:
- some SS might already be familiar with some of the body parts;
- some SS might have played Simon Says before;
- SS are able to say short sentences like Simon says: touch your nose! In order to play the game;
Anticipated problems for students and possible solutions:
- some SS might take longer to find the pages in their TBs as they are using them for the first time – T
monitors closely, helps and starts reading only after everyone is ready, with the books on the desk;
- some SS might not take turns or praise their friends during Rally Read: T monitors closely and reinforces
instructions or models again in front of the class if needed;
- some SS might walk around during the Round Robin of Simon Says: T monitors closely and corrects;
Materials:
Teacher:
- The Gruffalo story book – hard copy and soft copy;
- TB & WB;
- scanned pages: 2 & 3 from the TB;
Students:
- pencils; erasers;
- English TB, WB; Journals; Spelling Notebooks

Round Robin T: Everyone, please stand up behind your chairs. SS stand the
up, T makes sure they are paying attention to her. When I vocabulary
say “Simon says: touch your nose”, everyone has to touch introduced;
one’s nose, like this. If you touch another body part, you
are out of the game and have to sit down. Let’s try. T tries
a few body parts. Now, I’ll try to trick you. If I say, “Simon
says: touch your mouth”, but I am touching my head and
you are following me, it means I tricked you and you have
to sit down. Let’s try. T tries a few times.
T: Very good! Now, we’ll play the game in our teams!
Each of you will take turns to be Simon. S 1 will go first.
When you hear me clapping, S 2 will be Simon. Then, I’ll
clap again and S 3 will be Simon. Then, when I clap again,
S 4 will be Simon. If you forget how to say any of the body
parts, you can have a look in your open books on the desk.

I’ll give you one example with one team.

T models with one team, making sure the rest of the class
watches attentively.
T: Ready? Ok, S 1, go!
T claps for SS to change roles and monitors to see if the SS
are on task. If they have problems or do not take turns, T
reminds the teams and models again in front of the class.
T praises the teams that worked really well, for example:
Team 1, I loved the way you played, you stayed close to
your team and listened carefully to Simon. Well done!

T asks S 3 from each team to collect the books and put

them on the shelf. Here, the T has to show the SS how to
put the books nicely without pushing each other and
squeezing.
