My Second Lesson Plan

 The Journey continues, everyday I pass by a new experience that makes my eyes wide open for development and becoming better. Exploring the culture around me, gives me confidence, that I will find myself in this place and build up a career.

 In the previous time, stress worked his way and made a kind of a block or barrier between me and the students and that led to uneasy start, where I didn't warm up the students for a smooth lead in. This time, I believe, I was much better, and I believe this is going to improve with experience, so I can eventually say I possess a very strong, motivational and engaging lead in to my lessons. However, I can say that this time, stress didn't affect my teaching and the learning environment was very safe and I was able to establish rapport with the students. 

  Details of how my lesson went, and to what extent I have followed the written plan will come in the next post. Today I want to share with you my second lesson plan and hear from you what do you think of it? The lesson main objective was using and practicing language of colors and clothes to ask and answer questions in related contexts. 

 Until then, Have a Good Day!

Lesson plan

Main Aim:

Using and practicing colors and different cloth fabric patterns to describe clothes. “What does he/she wears?”(لابسة/لابس/ لابسين)

Subsidiary Aim:

Knowing colors conjugation with masculine and feminine vocabulary.

Personal Aim:

Controlling the TT, giving much time for students to use the language in pair and group activities. Giving clear and focused instructions with the activities and controlling Meta language used with this level, sticking to the target language. Never entering the students’ zone. Grading activities, easy comes first then a bit challenging.

Anticipated problems and solutions

·        In Meaning: the word منقطة، منقوشة، مقلمة، كاروه)) these new words will be supported by visual aids to help students get an idea of it meaning.

·        In Form: conjugation with masculine and feminine vocab may confuse some of the students, however, illustration on board using color codes, practicing and drilling on different examples using different activities to form and answer questions will probably solve this issue.

·        Pronunciation:  the (ق) in (برتقاني، قميص) are pronounced like /a/ if it happens, I will use peer correction, and focus on the /a/ sound, (س،ص) in different vocab as in: (أسود،أصفر، كرسي، قميص)
