    Lesson Plan

    Level, Grade/Age: Time: 45+45: 90 minutes


    Intermediate / Young Adults / Preparatory
    Class
    Lesson and Title: Materials: Milestones of Writing
    Reading and Writing: Writing a topic
    sentence
    Student Learning Objectives (SLOs): Students will be able to;
    - identify the characteristics of a topic sentence,
    - distinguish the topic and the controlling idea in a topic sentence,
    - produce a topic sentence with a controlling idea for a given paragraph.

    Warm-up (15 minutes):


    Organize running dictation game as a warm-up activity and put students in groups of 3: two
    runners and one writer. Prepare a paragraph and make as many copies as the number of the
    groups. Let students see them on the walls in the classroom. The first runner of each group
    runs to the text to read and memorize as much as he/she can and runs back to the group and
    dictates to the writer silently. Then, the second runner does the same. Two runners swap the
    roles until they dictate the whole text to the writer. The first group who finishes first and
    correctly will be the winner.

    Presentation (20 minutes):


    1. Let students see the paragraph used as a warm-up activity on the board and elicit
    information about the importance of the topic sentence of the paragraph.
    - What is the topic of the paragraph?
    - What is main idea of the paragraph?
    - Which sentence does help you answer these questions?

    2. Explain the role of topic sentence in a paragraph.


    3. Teach how to identify the topic and controlling ideas in a topic sentence.
    4. Explain the guidelines for writing a topic sentence for a paragraph.

    Guided Practice (20 minutes):


    Direct students to page 20 and explain how to do the activity about identifying the topic and
    the controlling idea for the given topic sentences. Model the activity. Let them work in pairs
    and guide them in the process. When the activity is over, have students provide peer feedback
    to each other by exchanging the papers with other pairs. Following this, go over the answers
    with the class and have students correct their mistakes. Make sure that every student
    understands how to identify the topic and the controlling idea and encourage them not to
    hesitate to ask any questions.

    Independent Practice (30 minutes):


    Direct students to page 18 and give time to write an appropriate topic sentence for the first
    three paragraphs. Let them work individually and observe them in the process. Following this,
    have students provide peer feedback to each other by exchanging the papers with the person
    sitting next to them. Then, go over the answers with the class and provide feedback paragraph
    by paragraph. While giving feedback, check if the content of each paragraph is clear for every
    student. If not, help them understand the content of the paragraphs clearly. Make sure that
    every student understands how to write a proper topic sentence for a paragraph and encourage
    them not to hesitate to ask any questions.

    Closure (2 minutes):
    Wrap up the lesson and ask whether the students have any questions.

    Assessment (3 minutes):
    Let students share their thoughts about the whole class. Encourage them to talk about their
    performance in the lesson.

    Homework:
    1. Assign homework to write a reflection about what they learned from their errors in this
    lesson and how these errors will help them to improve their writing abilities.
    2. Assign homework to write a suitable topic sentence for the last two paragraphs on page 18.

    *** There is an extra activity about writing appropriate topic sentences for the given subjects on page 21
    which can be used for the students who complete an activity early. Additionally, this activity is ready to
    use if the lesson finishes earlier than planned.
