I’d like you to design a lesson on defining and non-defining relative clauses.

The lesson
should be designed for an adult learner (or learners) at a B2 level, learning English as a
second language and should last for about 30 minutes. Please also provide a script and base
this lesson on the Coronation of King Charles the Third of the UK

Evaluation:

In the demo, we’re looking for the following:

A student-centred lesson with high levels of student talk and engagement.

An ability to develop rapport with the student.
An ability to demonstrate grammatical rules, syntax, and use in an accessible manner.
The incorporation of suitable materials and activities.

Lesson Plan: Defining and Non-defining Relative Clauses in the Context of the Coronation of
King Charles the Third

Level: B2

Time: 30 minutes

Materials:

A whiteboard or a virtual whiteboard

Handouts with sentences containing defining and non-defining relative clauses
Images of the Coronation of King Charles the Third

Objectives:

To understand the difference between defining and non-defining relative clauses

To be able to identify and use relative clauses in sentences
To apply the knowledge of relative clauses in the context of the Coronation of King
Charles the Third

Procedure:

1. Introduction (5 minutes)

Greet the student and ask them if they have heard about the Coronation of King Charles
the Third of the UK
 Ask the student if they know what relative clauses are and give them a brief explanation
Explain that in this lesson, we will be focusing on defining and non-defining relative
clauses and how they are used in sentences

2. Presentation (10 minutes)

Write the following sentence on the whiteboard: "The crown that King Charles the Third
wore was made of gold."
Ask the student to identify the relative clause in the sentence and explain that it is a
defining relative clause because it provides essential information about the noun "crown"
Give more examples of defining relative clauses using sentences related to the Coronation
of King Charles the Third
Show images of the Coronation and ask the student to create sentences with defining
relative clauses based on the images

3. Practice (10 minutes)

Give the student a handout with sentences containing both defining and non-defining
relative clauses
Ask the student to read the sentences and identify the type of relative clause in each
sentence
Have the student underline the relative clauses in the sentences and explain why they are
either defining or non-defining

4. Production (5 minutes)

Ask the student to write a sentence with a non-defining relative clause based on the
Coronation of King Charles the Third

5. Wrap-up (5 minutes)

Review the difference between defining and non-defining relative clauses with the
student
Ask the student if they have any questions or if there is anything they would like to review

Script:

Tutor: Hello and welcome to today's lesson. Have you heard about the Coronation of King
Charles the Third of the UK?

Student: Yes, I have.

Tutor: Great. Do you know what relative clauses are?

Student: A bit, but I'm not very confident using them.

Tutor: No problem. Today, we will be focusing on defining and non-defining relative clauses
and how they are used in sentences. Let's start by looking at this sentence: "The crown that
King Charles the Third wore was made of gold." Can you identify the relative clause in this
sentence?

Student: Yes, it's "that King Charles the Third wore."

Tutor: Correct. This is a defining relative clause because it provides essential information
about the noun "crown." Let me give you more examples of defining relative clauses using
sentences related to the Coronation of King Charles the Third. (give examples) Now, I will
show you some images of the Coronation, and I want you to create sentences with defining
relative clauses based on the images.

(continue with presentation, practice, and production)

Tutor: That's it for today's lesson. Remember, defining relative clauses provide essential
information, while non-defining relative clauses provide additional information. If you have
any questions or would like to review anything, feel free to ask.
