Lesson Plan in ESL

Grade Level: Grade 2 Topic: Intro Lesson

Approach: Interactionist Approach Date: July 12, 2020

I. Objectives: At the end of the session, the students will be able to:
 identify different classroom stationery;
 appreciate the purpose of greetings, asking & answering personal question; and
 create a chart using modal verbs for rules.

II. Subject Matter: Intro Lesson

Reference: https://www.eslkidstuff.com/lesson-plans/pdf/intro-lesson-older-kids.pdf

III. Procedures:
 Routinaries
o Prayer
o Greetings
 Review
 Motivation
o When everyone has sat down and is ready, the teacher will introduce
herself in class.
o After that, the teacher will ask the students to stand up and form a circle.
o The teacher will hold a ball and say her name and she will throw the ball to
one student and they will say their name.
o Students will throw the ball around randomly, saying their name each time
they catch the ball.

A. Activity
Do the “ASK ME” activity.
 On the board, the teacher will draw a little stick man/woman and write her name
under it.
 Then the teacher will write some answers to the following questions around the
board.

Questions:
 Age: How old are you?

Hometown: Where are you from?

Pets: What pet do you have?

Food: What is your favorite food?

Drink: What is your favorite drink?

Color: What is your favorite color?

Siblings: How many brother and sister do you have?

Example:

The idea is to try and have the students guess what the answer relate to and what the
question is for each answer.

Name: What is your name?

Then the teacher will point her name on the board.

Next, the teacher will point her hometown on the board and try to elicit the question
“Where are you from?”. As the teacher elicit and help, she will write the questions on
the board until all the questions are there.

B. Analysis
Practice asking and answering questions
 The teacher will have her students draw a stick
man/woman on a piece of paper with their name
 underneath, and write down their answer to the questions on the board- basically doing
the same thing as the teacher did on the board.
 The teachers will put students in pair and have them practice asking and answering the
questions about themselves.
 As they do this circulate and monitor, helping out with mistakes and pronunciation, and
always give lots of praise.

Do a class survey

Give out the survey sheets to each student. Go through the

column headers and make sure everyone understands that they have
to ask questions to 8 other students to complete their survey. Just to
make sure, model the activity with a student, asking the questions and
showing writing the answers. Then allow everyone to get up and mix
around as they complete their surveys.

Create a classroom rules poster

 Setting rules and boundaries is extremely important in your kids lessons - kids can feel
comfortable knowing what is and isn't accepted and having this clearly stated at the
beginning of the course will really help with classroom management. This part of the
lesson can be enjoyable and is a good way to practice modals "can", "can't", "must",
"mustn't". Firstly, prepare your board as shown below:

OUR CLASSROOM RULES

WE CAN WE CAN’T WE MUST WE MUSTN’T

 For each column explain and elicit:

We can = it is ok for us to do. E.g. "We can ask our teacher questions"  We can't = it is
not ok for us to do. E.g. "We can't talk while our teacher is talking"  We must = very
strong - things we have to do. E.g. "We must do our homework"  We mustn't = very
strong - things we never do. E.g. "We mustn't take things without asking"

C. Abstraction
 The teacher will put students into groups of 4-6 students.
  Teacher will give each group a large sheet of paper and colored marker pens to create
their rule poster.
 The teacher will let have them copy what she have on the board and explain that they
must write down as many ideas as they can on their rule posters - they can even include
some strange rules if they wish.

Some ideas:

WE CAN WE CAN’T WE MUST WE MUSTN’T

ask our teacher talk while our teacher do our homework take things without
questions is talking asking
respect each other
talk to others in use (our native fight, hit or kick
English language) when turn off our phones anyone
talking to the teacher
help other students bring our books, bring any electronic
bring food or drinks folders, pens, etc. to devices to class (e.g.
into class every class games)

start packing up stay in our seat treat others badly

before the teacher
tells us to raise our hand to be rude to anyone
answer questions

be in the classroom
on time
 As the groups are making their posters, circulate and help with grammar, vocab,
spelling. Also, make sure the rules you want are on each poster. Allow students to use
different colors and draw pictures - the posters should be attractive and fun.
 When the posters are finished, the teacher will get everyone in the group to sign it. This
helps to reinforce the rules as a kind of classroom "contract"- if any rules are broken in
future lessons you can point to the rule which the offending student has signed.
 Finally, the teacher will get students to pin their posters to the wall. Groups can then
present their rules poster to the class - this should bring up some good discussion as
well as the use of modals.

D. Application
Classroom stationery quiz
 We will finish the lesson with a fun activity based around the vocab of classroom
stationery. Before class, prepare a box of loads of different classroom stationery (pen,
pencil, eraser, crayon, ruler, stapler, staples, glue, paper, folder, hole punch, pencil
sharpener, white out, scotch tape, pencil case, marker, calculator, etc.).
  Put students into teams (of 4-6) and tell them that you are going to show them some
objects that they must write down on a piece of paper. Points will be given for each
correct answer as follows:
o perfect answers (correct word and spelling): 3 points
o nearly perfect answers (correct word but incorrect spelling): 2 points
o slightly correct (e.g. "pencil sharp" instead of "pencil sharpener"): 1 point
 Explain that the winning team will win a prize (prepare some stickers or candy)!
 Take out each object and teams work together to write down the answers - some they
will probably know and some not.
 At the end, get each team to swap papers and go through the answers as teams mark
the answer sheets. Present the prize to the winning team.

Play "What's missing?"

Finally, line up all of the stationery so that everyone can see. Tell everyone to close
their eyes - then remove one item. Say "Open your eyes" and everyone must shout out
the missing item. Do this for all of the items.

IV. Assignment

Assign Homework: "Classroom Objects" worksheet

 Hold up the homework worksheet and model what to do. Give out the worksheets
and say "Put your homework in your bags".

Do "Quick Check"

 Time to leave the class. Make sure everything is put away and the students have
gathered their belongings. Have them line up at the door and place yourself
between the door and the students. For each student check one new word (e.g.
hold up a stationery item and ask "What's this?"). When they give you the correct
answer say goodbye and let them leave. If their answer is wrong, have them go back
to the end of the line - they will have to try again once they reach the front!
