WEEKLY LESSON PLAN - #6 (3rd week of April)

Clase de Apoyo -#2 – Paola Seggovia (Monday course from 6 to

7pm):

 Lesson:
The teacher will firstly check homework and possible doubts with the
students. The idea is to check guidance and comprehension of previous
topics such as Superlative/Comparative sentences, Uncountable/Countable
nouns, Quantifiers and Defining Relative Clauses. Moreover, the teacher will
check a few activities from the last topic learnt with the student: “Be going
to” with plans and predictions.
After that, the teacher will provide a few more worksheets of more previous
topics to start checking if the student has any knowledge about them: the
teacher will ask the student to complete a few activities about Defining
Relative Clauses in order to round-up with that topic. Later on, the teacher
will provide a worksheet about Present Perfect. The teacher will explain and
re-visit all topics involving Present Perfect on the whiteboard with the
student, and they will check the activities asked to complete together.
Finally, the teacher will provide, if possible, 3 listening activities and
instances to the students in order to check comprehension through
elicitation. The main idea is to keep on practicing the student’s Listening
and Oral skills through these activities, since its important for the student to
start pulling her listening and oral skills in order to be at the same level as
the rest of the class.

Adults 2 (Monday course from 7 to 8:30pm):


 Ice-Breaker / Warm-Up:
As an Ice breaker, the teacher will check homework provided from the
previous week: The teacher will start with “The Last Leaf” questionnaire,
checking if all students had completed it. The main idea is to ask students
to read some of their answers, in order to check if all answers are the
same, or if some have variety in their responses so that others students
can add more information to their answers if they want. Also, the teacher
will check pronunciation by asking them to read their answers and share
them with the class. After the sharing moment, the teacher will ask
students to send in their questionnaires so that he can check grammar
and provide a mark to the students next week.

Finally, the teacher will check pages 62 and 63 from their workbooks in
order to check practice as regards the last topic taught: “Be going to” for
plans and predictions.

 Core Task:
“BE GOING TO” – LAST ACTIVITIES
To start with, the teacher will provide a few more pages and exercises to
keep on practicing the topic of “Be going to” through plans and predictions
with the students. These will be the last activities they will complete
before moving on to a new topic of matter. The teacher will ask students
to go page 87, and check Activity “B”: “Interview your partner.” The
idea is to do a small fun activity involving pairs: each pair of students will
have a series of questions involving the questioning of activities during the
week, the weekend, and even winter break that is happening in a few
months. The teacher will ask the students to ask each other these
questions using “Be going to” orally, and then report their pair’s responses
on a sheet of paper. The main idea is to share what each pair of students
is going to do during their week, weekend and during winter break by
using Be Going To for planning.

After that, in order to keep on practicing “Be Going to” for plans or
predictions one last time, the teacher will make students complete a few
simple activities in page 64 of their workbooks: There, the students will
have activities involving a reading and grammar activities.

“COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES” – UNIT 8A

The teacher will finally introduce a new unit to the students: Comparative
Adjectives in Unit 8A. This is a topic some of the students already know,
but in order to keep all students on the same page, the teacher will go
back to the basics and explain the meaning and use of this topic on the
whiteboard, eliciting about the knowledge of this topic to the students and
even making transitions from the meaning in Spanish to the meaning in
English of this topic. The teacher will explain and provide the rules
involving Comparative Adjectives in order to start to put it into practice
immediately.

After that, the teacher will ask students to go to pages 88 and 89 in order
to carry out the main pages of practice of this new topic: involving a few
activities that incorporate readings, listenings, oral and simple grammar
activities. Moreover, the teacher will also introduce new vocabulary:
Personality skills. After completing each activity, the teacher will check
with all students.

 Follow-Up:
As a follow-up, the teacher will ask students to go to page 66 in the
“Practice section” of their students’ books. The main idea is to check on a

2
Rodriguez Ian Luca Kell’s Institute - 2023

few comprehension activities involving Comparative Adjectives through


contextualized activities. The teacher will check after all students
completed the activity.

Finally, and if time allows it, the teacher will introduce a simple yet
effective game called “Think of a Word.” The game is about drawing a
chart on the whiteboard, where a main noun will take practice on the
centre of the chart. In their corners, there will be a few comparative
adjectives, and the teacher will ask students to be fast and name
something “bigger than a building” or “smaller than an elephant” to keep
on practicing this new topic all together.
 Homework:
As homework, the teacher will provide activities from page 67 of their
workbooks to keep on practicing Comparative adjectives. Moreover, the
teacher will ask students to try and read the first 2 pages of a new short-
story called “A GOOD BUGLAR”, so that they can familiarise themselves
a little bit with the story for next week.

COMPARATIVES CHAIN GAME: The teacher will also ask students to


participate in a simple game in the Google Classroom called
“Comparative’s chain” which involves taking the LAST noun of a previous
comment and creating a whole new sentence using comparative
adjectives using the same noun:

EXAMPLE: “An elephant is bigger than a mosquito”  “A mosquito is


more annoying than a construction building.”  ...
 What I want my students to learn from this lesson:

last lessons. Moreover, I want my students to carry out a few projects in
order to apply everything they have learnt so far, and to start their first

Posters for this lesson by two of the students who couldn’t make them the

these posters to the class with a few eliciting questions in the Past tense.

connector like “and, but, or” during narrative and descriptive productions.
The teacher will explain their meaning and right use during texts, and
then he will carry out a few comprehension activities of this new topic with
the same page of their students’ books.

Moreover, the teacher will provide a few photocopies to the students


about short biographies of celebrities. This time, he will share biographies
of stars like Lionel Messi and Dibu Martinez. These biographies need to be
completed by using the Simple Past of a few verbs, so the teacher will ask
the students to complete them with the right tense, and even provide lists
of verbs if they need it. The main idea is to put the students in contact
with a biography of achievements of a celebrity for a future task they will
have to carry out as homework.

Finally, the teacher will ask the students if they can complete page 107 of
their students’ books: which is a Unit Review page with all topics and
