Material:

Song( https://youtu.be/Wm4R8d0d8kU) & the ‘fill-in-the-gasp’ task

English Level : Basic
Grade: 5

Lesson objectives:
Students will be able to:
Increase vocabulary related to animals in the farm.
Acquire an interest of every part in farm.
Learn and how to use the mind palace technique.
Warm-up and Objective Discussion:
Introduce them the topic through questions that they will be able to answer based
on their own
experience about a farm :
Have you ever visited a farm?
What animals did you see?
What's your favorite farm animal?
How does it sounds?
Tell students that today we are going to Increase vocabulary related to animals in
the farm.Then, we will learn and how to use a technique called Mind palace which is
used to help memorize any thing.

Instruct and Model:

Pre – Listening : Old MacDonald (twice)
Sing the song together.
Look for the song’s vocabulary.

Mind palace technique

What is the mind palace technique?
A Mind Palace is an imaginary construct in your mind that’s based on a real
location. If you can see your bedroom in your mind, then you can build a mind
Palace.Within your Mind Palace, “stations” are locations like a bedroom or sitting
room and the space between them is called a “journey”. As you build your Mind
Palace, you will leave words and phrases at these stations and then pick them up
later on when you take a journey through your palace.

Guided Practice:
How to Create a Mind Palace?
Step 1: Choose a familiar building and draw a floorplan. This can be your home, a
school, church or movie theatre. It can be any building so long as you know it well
enough to draw a floor plan.

Step 2: Form a linear path through the floorplan. Do this before you number your
stations. Mind Palaces work best when you don't cross your own path or lead
yourself into a dead end. Don’t cram every possible station into your first palace.
Include the obvious locations like a bathroom, bedroom, living room, kitchen, as
well as an entry point.
Step 3: Make a top-down list of those stations in linear order. This step is useful
for testing purposes.
Step 3: Review your palace: At this point, you should have: (1) a floorplan of a
familiar building, (2) a linear path drawn on the floorplan that does not cross
itself, (3) designated a starting point and exit point, (4) numbered the stations,
(5) written the top-down list, and (6) walked through the Mind Palace (floorplan)
several times so you can see or recall each station.

Independent Practice:
Now, it's time to learn how to place words and phrases on each of the stations in
your Memory Palace.
Have students paired with each other and then they will create a mind palace
together by placing vocabulary from the listening.

Assessment:
We will carry out a Formative Assessment
throughout the Lesson Plan. the student:
- is motivated
- participates in the task
- understand the task
- interacts with other students
- presents their job in a organized way
