Objective:

Students will listen to German teenagers talk about their hobbies and interests.

Students will learn to talk about interests.

Students will learn to express likes and dislikes

Students will learn to tell when they do various activities and to express opinions.

Materials:

I will use computer, board, overhead projector, audio and video, textbook, notebook,

Edmodo, Quizlet etc.

Introduction:

My teaching style is based on student-centered education method, my classes are

interactive.so there will be lecturing, partner work, group work, questions-answers, independent

study, knowledge, comprehensive and evaluation.

For this class, I will start with using student-centered lecturing by showing them the power point

of Activities and Interests expressions in German with pictures and sound but no English on the

overhead projector.
Instructional Activities and Procedures

Since I use the student-centered method, I will enforce students to participate the class even at

the beginning of class. I will ask them what do you do in your free time in English and then I

will teach them the target vocabularies and the expression on the overhead projector. The student

will repeat them after me and then they will copy them down in their notebook so the visual

learners will see vocabularies with pictures and take note, auditory learners will hear and take

notes to master their learning. I will ask students questions in the target language and then they

will ask the same question to each other to interact. Then they will work in groups to make up a

story about activities and present it to us.

Modifications/Differentiated Instruction

My school is located in the west of Texas and it is a border city, the border with Mexico. So most

of my students are Hispanic but I have white, Afro-American students as well. My students have

different kinds of learning style, but as well as I know most of them are visual and kinesthetic

learners, but a few of them are auditory learners. They have almost no prior knowledge about

this topic.

Motivation is key for students, so I will motivate them and I will use reading, writing, listening

and speaking to meet their different learning skills. Small groups, partner work, questions-

answers are keys to keep them interactive. I will use visual materials such as video, projector,

and pictures, and I will use listening for the auditory learners, reading also will help. As I stated

before motivation is key to engage them, using questions- answer format is another one to

engage them in classes. Using technology will help to keep them focused on the topic.
Evaluation:

My student will already show me by doing partner work and group works activities but there will

be a short quiz about activities to measure how much they learned and give them a grade. In

addition, I will assign them our textbook online homeworks link on Edmodo to do on a specific

date. There will be new topics song link there as well. They will watch /listen and write down

the lyrics in their notebook for extra credit.

Closure:

I will make a quick review of what we learned during the class and what we will do next class. In

addition to this, I will remind them their homework, which is the textbook online link on

Edmodo.
