Lesson Object

In 60 minutes:

- Students will be introduced to a simple way of introducing themselves.


- Students will learn and practice some basic activities that appear in the lesson, along with
the accompanying vocabulary.
- Students will learn how to recognize and practice some simple commands.

Imagine how you would present the information and model for your students for that
specific objective.

- Target audience: preschool children


- My goal is that students can learn basic communication with command sentences such as
Hello, Hi, goodbye, bye, and self-introduction sentences: I'm/I am...
- I will choose to organize activities at the beginning of the lesson for students to create
closeness and intimacy. Then, I will use the previous sentence patterns to model for students.

How you would use teacher talk and what personal stories you could share to help keep
things conversational?
- First, I will ask the students if they understand what I just said.
- Next, I will change the context to my mother tongue and pose the case: If you meet a new
friend, what will you say, or more simply, when you come home from school, what is the first
sentence you will say? What will you tell your parents if you meet them at home?
- Then, I will explain the possible contexts for "Hello" and "Goodbye."

How you would make your instruction "sticky" (remember...MUD)?


- I will let students listen to an audio clip in the textbook, combined with identifying
characters and looking at pictures so that from there, students can combine listening
comprehension skills with observation and judgment skills.
- After that, I will point out the similarities between the context I mentioned before and the
audio.

Would you use "teach, model, and question" or "model, infer, and elaborate"?
I will choose both because, in class, many students have different backgrounds and the
abilities to remember and study.
How could you model for your students? Be as specific as you can.

Step 1: Introduce the knowledge to be learned. Hello, Hi, Goodbye, bye, etc.
Step 2: Explain and model. For example: Hello everyone, my name is Harris. Nice to meet
you guys.
Step 3: Ask students: In what situations and with whom are these words and commands used?
Let students make their inferences. If students don't have ideas, the teacher can suggest them
(when meeting new friends, when asking for directions, when returning from school, etc.).
Step 4: Check, explain again, and let students practice on the spot.

Students will not be able to do it on their own without the teacher's guidance, so modeling is
quite important.
