Students will describe their
own daily routine in an
organized and coherent
manner.
Students will understand and
deduce the others’ daily
routine through subtle and
implicative means very well.
Human in Nature
The activity will consist of three phases,
with the teacher presenting a two-part text
to students for the first two, then carrying
out reading, listening, and speaking
activities with it.
In the first phase, the first text will carry
random examples of fictional daily
routines, and teacher will use them as a
base to talk about their own daily routine.
The first and most prominent
method of measurement will be
done by the teacher who will
observe students’ performance in
creating sentences and using the
correctly formed verbs while
describing daily routines.
Teacher will fix any mistakes
through unintrusive methods such
as redirection.
This lesson will rely on
and stimulate the
listening and speaking
skills of the students
mostly, while their
reading skill will have a
very subtle role.

they have learnt about their
partner’s routine and check how
much of it is accurate. This will
evaluate students’ speaking and
listening skills in their pair work.
At the end of 3. Week, a general
quiz on all three main subjects will
be held, including this lesson’s
content to measure student’s
general performance and
knowledge accumulation on the
unit.
 Students will talk about their
abilities and understand what
others can or cannot do
efficiently.
Students will develop their
speaking and listening skills
greatly.
2. Week
2
The class will start with the teacher
overseeing the students who will read
the relevant passages from the
coursebook. Then, students will watch
the Prezi presentation and ask the
teacher any questions they have about
it to the teacher.
After that, students will be split into
groups of 3/4 and asked to discuss and
memorize abilities of their group
members, then a student from each
group will be asked to tell the abilities
of their group members collectively.
Towards the end of the lesson,
students will be given a quick
assessment consisting of small
questions regarding this subject, which
will be answered and checked in the
same lesson.
The main metric of
measurement is observation
done by teacher in the
classroom on students’
performance in speaking and
listening, specifically their
ability to understand other
students’ abilities and
inabilities.
The secondary metric of
evaluation is the result of
assessments in points and
peer-feedback to the group
work in the class.
At the end of 3. Week, a
general quiz on all three main
subjects will be held, including
this lesson’s content to
measure student’s general
performance and knowledge
accumulation on the unit.
While this lesson has
peer-feedback in the
secondary role as a
measurement device,
it will determine the
teacher’s perspective
on student’s
performance as much
as the main metric
since “listening” parts
must be evaluated by
the accuracy and
efficiency of
communication
between students.
 Students will describe their
daily activities and frequencies
coherently and in detail.
Students will deduce the daily
activities and frequencies of
others.
3. Week
The teacher will show an infographic
on the subject which will teach basic
frequency adverbs (usually, rarely,
never, etc.) and their correct forms.
Once students are done with reading
the infographic and memorizing these
adverbs, the teacher will do a
speaking-based activity where students
The teacher will do quick and
small measurements of

Explanation regarding to the implementation of the plan
To protect the lesson flow during the grouping process the known troublemakers will be split into different groups to avoid
distractions that they might cause if they are together if the class is not interested in the game a reward maybe promised
to the winning group (treats or possibly being excused of the homework [since they were the best group at this topic]and
their measurements will still be taken during the game by the teacher and during the quiz at the end of the week) <- FIX
THIS!!!

Performance cooperate with group members and how they apply their
knowledge when talking about abilities of other people.
Homework (optional) A handout similar to the one to be used towards the end of class
Explanation
Explanation regarding to the implementation of the plan
The general flow of the lesson will aim to encourage student participation, my worry is that in the individual speaking
exercise after the video students might feel hesitant to participate, if this happens, the teacher is encouraged improvise by
talking about their own abilities first in a lighthearted manner and then selecting students to talk about their own. If any
technical problems arise such as the Powtoon video not working or a problem with the projector or computer, the teacher
should change classes if applicable, if not they can write the contents of the video on the board.

Learning Outcomes [ASSURE (State Objectives)]

Speaking
Students will describe the frequency of activities.

Listening
Students will deduce the frequency of the activities of others.

Instructional Materials & Media [ASSURE (Select Strategies, Technology, Media and Materials)]
Infographic, Group Discussion, Cooperative Learning

Learning-Teaching Methods [ASSURE (Select Strategies, Technology, Media and Materials)]

A combination of two methods, Presentation and Direct Method, will be used to teach this unit. This will allow a more
natural and visually stimulating learning experience, which is especially beneficial for younger students.
Teaching Activities [ASSURE (Utilize Technology, Media, and Materials and Require Learner Participation)]

Individual Learning Activities Reading the Infographic and Learning Frequency Adverbs,
Telling One’s Own Activities and Their Frequencies. Quiz at
the end of third week.
Group Learning Activities Talking About the Frequencies of Each Other’s Activities

Summary
The teacher will show an infographic on the subject which will teach basic frequency adverbs (usually, rarely, never, etc.)
and their correct forms.

Once students are done with reading the infographic and memorizing these adverbs, the teacher will do a speaking-based
activity where students will be asked to give three daily life activities that they perform on different frequencies. (always,
sometimes, never) Finally, they will be asked to talk about the frequency of the activities that other students shared.

Measurement & Evaluation

Write the measurement and evaluation methods you will employ in that lesson.

Measurement & Assessment Activities for Individual The teacher will ask vocal questions in the classroom and take
Performance general answers, then reveal the correct one.
Some questions about this subject will also be included in the
general quiz.
Measurement & Assessment Activities for Group The collective outcome of group work will be measured
Performance according to three main critical aspects: Accuracy, Fluency and
Organization.

Homework (optional) Students will be asked to write about their own experiences to
give ten examples of their daily routine and their frequency.

Explanation
We will follow a more traditional approach.
Explanation regarding to the implementation of the plan
While the general plan involves the usage of technical materials, in case of any misfortune, teachers can take the initiative
and make students speak about their own routines and ask them to describe frequencies of these. This will allow the class
to be still as effective and participative as the previous plan.
