Lesson Plan Presentation
Reading Part in NSEFC Module 1 Unit1 Friendship——Anne’s Best Friend
Hello, everyone. I’m …. I’m very glad to be here to present my lesson plan. The lesson I’m going to talk about is the reading in NSEFC module 1 Unit1 Friendship. The title of the reading material is Anne’s Best Friend. I will present how to teach it and the reasons for doing so in the following aspects: the analyses of teaching material and learning condition, teaching objectives,the important and difficult points, teaching method, teaching procedures and blackboard notes.
First of all, I’d like to analyze the teaching material. The text is about the story of a Jewish girl who treated her diary as her best friend when she was hiding away from the Nazi during the Second World War. It mainly consists of two parts; the first part is the introduction of Anne and her diary named Kitty. The second part is a diary entry written by Anne in the form of letter addressed to Kitty. The text is a bit long and there are a lot of new words and expressions in it, especially in the letter.
Now, let’s move on to the analysis of learning conditions. The students are in grade1 in the senior school, they have achieved certain English level so they have no problem in comprehending the text and get the basic idea. They have learned the Second World War so their previous knowledge about it can lessen their difficulty of comprehension. But most of them maybe are not very familiar with the sufferings of the Jewish people during the war. I will introduce the related information rightly in the beginning of the lesson so as to prepare the students for the deep study of the text.
Based on the analyses of the teaching material and the learning condition, I’d like to propose the teaching objectives and the important and difficult points.
(1) language skill
Ss will improve their reading skills by training some of the reading skills, such as skimming, scanning. It is the important point of this lesson.
Ss will improve their writing skills by writing a letter to their friend. It is the difficult point of this lesson.
(2) language knowledge
Ss will master most of the new words and expressions in the text. This is the important point of this lesson.
Ss will know the direct speech and indirect speech.
(3) Affective objectives
Ss will have a deeper understanding of the friendship so they will cherish their friends more than ever before. Ss will realize the cruelty of the war and the importance of the peace.
(4) Culture awareness
Ss will know more about the Second World War, especially the persecution Jewish people suffered from the Nazi.
(5) Learning strategy
Ss will cultivate their ability of individual learning and cooperative learning.
As for the teaching methods, I mainly adopt audio-visual teaching method in the lead-in. During the reading process, I follow the top down modal to help the Ss to learn the text.
Now, here comes the most important part of my presentation—teaching procedures. I’ll finish the lesson in 4 steps within 45 minutes. They are:
Step1: Lead-in.
Step2:Pre-reading
Step3: While reading.
Step 4: Post-reading.
At the end of the lesson, I will present the homework.
Now, let me introduce them step by step in details.
The first step is lead-in. It will cost 7minutes. At the beginning of the lesson, I will play a short video clip which is about the sufferings of the Jewish people during the Second World War. From it, Ss will know that many Jewish people were caught and killed by Nazi in the camps, so others had to hide away. Then I will ask Ss what they needed most when in hiding. Ss may come up with the food, clothes and so on. I will give them some hint and they will realize that friends are also very important for them. Then it will be very natural for me to tell them than there was a girl called Anne who had a very good friend during the hard time. In this process, I will introduce them three new words, they are: German, Netherlands, go through. In this step, I adopt audio-visual teaching method, because the pictures and sounds serves better to activate the Ss. So I use the video to attract the Ss’ attention. What’s more, the introduction of Jewish people’s suffering by this video clip provides them with the background information of this text.
Then I will move on to the second step---pre-reading. It will only cost 3 minutes. The Ss are required to guess who Anne’s best friend is and what happened to them by looking at the title and the pictures. Then I will ask several Ss to say their predictions but I will not tell them the answer directly in this step. Although not all the Ss can get the right answer, their mind can get closer to the theme of the text by predicting. So, later, when they read the passage they will concentrate more on it to check their predictions.
After pre-reading, we will move on to the while-reading step which costs 22 minutes in total. There are 5 activities, the first three of which deals with the first two paragraphs of the text which is also the first part of the text. And the last two activities deal with the second part.
The first activity is skimming. Ss are expected to skim the first part of text to work out the main idea. But as there is no topic sentence in this part, it is a bit difficult for students to tell the main idea with their own words. So I will present a multiple choice which covers the main idea of the text for them to choose from. This reduces the difficulty of the task as well as the Ss’ anxiety.
After getting the main idea, we will do another activity, namely, scanning. Ss are expected to scan the text to find some specific information, such as the place and the time of the story, etc. Ss can develop the ability of information gathering and independent learning.
After skimming and scanning, we will do the third activity of this step---close reading. I will help Ss learn the passage paragraph by paragraph. For the first paragraph, I will ask some questions like “According to Anne, what kind of person should a true friend be?” The answer to these questions cannot be taken directly from the text. Ss need to reorganize the sentences. If they can answer these questions, it means they have understood this paragraph. Then we will learn the second paragraph. For this one, I will ask one question “What did Anne say about her diary?” Ss may answer it by the original words said by Anne, I will catch this opportunity to tell them they change the direct speech into the indirect speech. But I will not go deeper, because they will learn this language point next period, so a simple introduction is ok.
This is all for the first part of the text. Then we will start to learn the letter. There are two activities for this part. The first one is skimming,they should skim the letter for the main idea first and I will present a multiple choice for them to choose from. Them we will learn the letter in detail in the next activity. For the first paragraph of the letter, I will ask them to find out the changing of Anne’s attitudes toward nature. Ss can find out that before hiding away, she paid no attention to the nature while she grew crazy about it when hiding. Then I will ask them to find out the reason. As for the second paragraph, Anne narrates two experiences of longing to get close to nature. So firstly, I will ask them to pick out the time of the experience and then we will study her feelings in the process. Of cause, we will learn some new word here, such as on purpose, at dusk and so on.
After the while-reading, comes the post-reading step. It will cost 12 minutes. In this step, I will firstly ask Ss if they have to go into hiding like Anne and her family, what they would like to say to their friends. Ss will talk in groups of four and share their ideas with each other. During the discussion, the Ss will be stimulated and also know the importance of friendship. It servers to make the Ss be prepared for the next activity---writing. After the discussion, the Ss shall write a letter to their friends individually. As they have talked about what they want to say to their friends, the difficulty of the writing is lowered because they have something to say. Ss are expected to write just a draft, for the time is limited.
Lastly, I will give Ss the homework. It will only cost one minute. Ss should not only review the new words and expressions of the text, but also polish their letter after class.
That’s all for the teaching procedure. And here is my blackboard note. On the right side, there are the words and expressions. In the middle, there are some points of the comprehension of the text.
That all for my lesson plan presentation thanks for your attention.
