Lesson Plan Presentation
Hello, everyone! It’s my great pleasure to be here to give my lesson plan presentation. The lesson plan I am going to present is the Reading part from NSEFC Module2 Unit5. The Topics of this unit are music and different types of music. It’s a reading course. The passage “A band that wasn’t” consists of two parts. The structure is very clear, but many new words and phrases in this passage make it difficult for students to understand the content. Based on the above analyses, I rearrange the teaching material. In the comprehending part, I rearrange exercise two. Instead of writing main idea for each paragraph, students should finish it by a match work. It will make it easier to understand the outline of the passage.
My students are in senior one, so they have achieved certain English level which can help them comprehend the text better. They are also easily activated by pictures and sounds in the class and like to air their opinions. They are familiar with the topic “music”, What’s more, they are eager to know more about it. Their interest in such topic can help them learn the passage well.
As we all know, the deep understanding of the reading material is based on various kinds of information including the printed context and also readers' knowledge, concept and value. The information will compensate for each other and in different ways help readers read. I mainly adopt three-stage model—pre-reading, while-reading, and post-reading to deal with the reading. To help students learn more effectively, I also adopt experiential learning, encouraging Ss to learning new things by doing and experiencing. Students can acquire expressions and the ways of solving problems better by taking part in activities like A Date with Lu Yu and discussion, etc.
According to the analysis of the teaching material, the learning condition, and the theory of teaching reading, I set the following learning objectives:
1. Language skills:
By the end of the class, Ss will be able to improve their reading skills by skimming for the main idea of each paragraph and scanning for the Monkees’ specific information. They can also talk about the formation of the Monkees and the factors to its success in A Date with Lu Yu.
2. Linguistic knowledge:
Ss can use the important words and expressions properly such as attach, on purpose, be crazy about, etc. and learn the usual way how most bands become popular and the history of the Monkees.
3. Affects:
Ss will know some important factors to success, like hardworking, opportunity, etc. and enjoy expressing opinions in group work.
4. Cultural awareness:
1) know the usual way to form a band and the history of the Monkees
2) be aware of the famous bands abroad and home
5. Learning strategy:
1) learn autonomously and cooperatively in different activities before, during and after reading.
2) get more information through Internet, magazines, etc.
Language focus
1) improve Ss’ reading ability, such as skimming, scanning.
2) learn the usual way how most bands become popular and the history of the Monkees.
Anticipated difficulty:
Because of their limited vocabulary, poor organization, etc, the role play maybe difficult for them to do.
In order to achieve the learning objectives, several activities are designed for the three stages- pre-reading, While-reading and Post-reading. The teaching procedures are as followes:
In pre-reading stage, I designed two activities. In activity 1, Ss listen to 4 songs and guess which band sings the song. By sharing their knowledge about some familiar bands, their learning interest will be fully aroused. As a result, a good classroom atmosphere is achieved. In activity 2, Ss will watch a short video and then share their ideas about the Monkees. This activity aims to lead in the topic of the passage naturally and make Ss mentally prepared for the text they are going to learn.
In While-reading stage, I designed two activities: fast reading and close reading. In fast reading,I will ask them to go through the text quickly and match the main ideas of each paragraph. Then they should scan the passage and find out the information about the Monkees. The fast reading activities are to develop the students’ reading skills of skimming for general idea of the passage and scanning for specific information. As for close reading, I designed various kinds of comprehending activities, students have to go back to the text again to gather information, reorganize or reinterpret the information. They have to truly understand the attitude of the author and the purpose of the text so as to get the answers. As to paragraph 1, I will ask Ss to read it and answer some questions. Then they should read para.2 carefully and find out the usual way in which a band becomes popular. And Ss should find out the plan and the factors of the Monkees and the way how the Monkees became well-known when dealing with para.3 and 4.
In Post-reading stage, I designed two activities. Activity1 is discussing. Ss should discuss around the question “What’s the most important thing to success?” Through this activity, affective objectives of this lesson are achieved. By discussing, they will be clear about qualities needed to make their dreams come true in the future. Activity 2 is role play. The second activity is an interview. Ss will work in groups of five. One acts as Lu Yu while the other four are the members of the Monkees. They have to talk something about their hard way to be popular and to be the real band. This serves as the output after reading the passage.
After class, Ss are asked to work in group of four, and search some information of their favorite band and introduce it. By searching the internet, magazines or newspaper to get some information of a certain band, Ss will develop their resource strategy. By such kind of group work, Ss will have more opportunity to communicate with their classmates after class.
Finally I’d like to show my blackboard design. In the left side, it’s the usual way a band becomes popular. In the middle of the blackboard, it’s the way how the Monkees became well-known. There are some new words and phrases in the right.
This is my lesson plan presentation. Thank you for your attention!
