Warm-up (5 min.)

Page 4: Dydaktyczna rola opowiadań w procesie nauczania języka ...sp47.bialystok.pl/archiwum/publikacje/2013/130507...Students write words from the story including the letters given. (Appendix

Students are presented with the pictures depicting new vocabulary (Appendix 2A) that

will appear in the story. Teacher makes sure that students can predict the meaning, then

gives each pair of students one word and asks them to create a sentence using it.

Students read aloud their sentences.

Activity 1 (12 min.) Group-work

Teacher writes new words on the BB in two columns but in different order. Then

divides students into two groups. One person from the group comes to the column.

Teacher says one of the words in Polish and representatives of the groups should find

and point to its English equivalent on the BB as quickly as possible. The rest of the

group can help him/her by shouting “up” or “down”. Once the word is identified the

student reads it aloud and writes the meaning next to it. After completing all the

column on the BB students copy it into their notebooks.

Activity 2 (10 min.) Listening

Teacher tells the story (Appendix 2B), students listen and look at the pictures to help

them understand it better.

Activity 3 (5 min.) Pair-work

Each students gets a piece of paper with the half of the sentence from the story

mention a specific thing or things again or when the context tells us which specific

things we mean or there is only one of them. Teacher also provides students with

examples. (She’s got a car. The car is green. Open the door. The flowers in our

garden are beautiful.) Students make notes in their notebooks.

Activity 2 (7 min.) Finding the mistakes

Teacher writes on the blackboard 6 sentences that are a short summary of the story

students are going to read (Appendix 3B). Some of the sentences contain mistakes

concerning the usage of the articles. Students find the mistakes, explain why they think

the sentences are incorrect and correct them.

Page 8: Dydaktyczna rola opowiadań w procesie nauczania języka ...sp47.bialystok.pl/archiwum/publikacje/2013/130507...Students write words from the story including the letters given. (Appendix

ANTICIPATED PROBLEMS:

• Students may have problems with understanding some unknown expressions and

may need some prompts to deal with them.

PROCEDURE

Warm-up (5 min.)

Students work in pairs. Each pair picks one of the colour cards and thinks of as many

things to eat or drink connected with the given colour as possible (ex. yellow – lemon,

banana, pear, apple juice, cheese, etc.) and the rest of the class tries to guess the colour.

Activity 1 (10 min.) Listening

Students read and listen to the recording of the story (Appendix 4A) and underline

words they don’t understand. When the story is finished each student reads aloud

sentences which caused problems and all students try to guess the meaning of the new

word from the context.

Activity 2 (15 min.) Grammar

Students look at the story again and search for sentences with words “some” and “any”

and write them on the BB in two columns. Teacher elicits their suggestions for the

usage and meaning of these words based on the given examples. Then teacher asks

students to complete the following rules:

We use............ for affirmative statements.

We use............for negative statements and questions.

Activity 3 (8 min.) Role - playing

Students read the story again acting the roles of the narrator, the old woman and the

tramp, paying special attention to the usage of new words.

Activity 4 (7 min.) Grammar

Without looking into the text students say what the tramp used in his soup. They use

the cards with pictures (Appendix 4B). One student chooses a product (ex. milk) and

asks a student sitting next to him: Did he use any milk?. The next student answers: No,

he didn’t use any milk and asks the next student about another product, ex. Did he use

any carrots? Yes, he used some carrots. The rests of the class checks if all students

answer correctly. The activity is finished when all the pictures are used.

Lesson Plan 5

LEVEL: elementary

AGE: 12

TIME: 45 minutes

SUBJECT: “Dr. Dread” – a story.

AIMS:

• to teach and practise adverbs

• to teach selected words from the story

• to revise selected adjectives

NEW LEXIS: empty, whisper, enemy, take off, grab, lock, pull, push

ASSUMED KNOWLEDGE:

Students are familiar with:

• meaning and the usage of some basic adjectives

• Past Simple Tense

MATERIALS:

• copy of the story with the pictures for all Ss (Appendix 5A)

• cassette with the recording of the story

Page 10: Dydaktyczna rola opowiadań w procesie nauczania języka ...sp47.bialystok.pl/archiwum/publikacje/2013/130507...Students write words from the story including the letters given. (Appendix

• copy of the exercise for all Ss (Appendix 5B)

ANTICIPATED PROBLEMS:

Students may not remember some irregular verbs in Past Simple and some teacher’s

explanation may be needed.

PROCEDURE:

Warm-up (5 min.)

Teacher writes on the BB the following words in two columns:

empty full whisper shout enemy friend take off land grab throw lock open pull push and explains that words from the left column are new but students can figure out their

meaning as they are opposites of the words from the right column. Then students are

given 1 minute to remember as many pairs of words as possible. After this time teacher

clears the BB and writes the words in the jumbled order. Sudents match the opposites

they are able to recollect. After making sure that the meaning of all the words is known

teacher explains that they will encounter this vocabulary in the text they are going to

read.

Activity 1 (5 min.) Speaking

Students look at the pictures and find the names of the characters from the story

(Appendix 5A). Then, still using the pictures as the prompts, teacher elicits from

students some predictions about the plot of the story by making them answer the

questions containing new vocabulary: Who is Luke’s enemy? Why did the guard lock

the door? What did Kirsty throw over the guard’s head? Where did Luke run after he

grabbed the gun? Was Dr. Dread’s bag empty? Why? Who took off the plane?

Activity 2 (5 min.) Listening and reading

Students read and listen to the story and number the pictures in the correct order.

(Appendix 5A)

Page 11: Dydaktyczna rola opowiadań w procesie nauczania języka ...sp47.bialystok.pl/archiwum/publikacje/2013/130507...Students write words from the story including the letters given. (Appendix

Activity 3 (8 min.) Checking

Each student is alloted one picture (signed with a letter) and has to write one - two

sentences about what happened in the story in this picture. Students read the letter of

the picture and the sentences in order they noted during listening to the recording

(ex.1. pic.b – Luke Ryan and Kirsty were in a strange room with Luke’s old enemy – Dr.

Dread. Dr. Dread had the computer chip.). If what they reach at the and of the activity

is a short summary of the story, it means the pictures were put in the correct order.

Activity 4 (7 min.) Grammar

Teacher asks students to find in the text and complete the following sentences:

1) That guard is very ............ (slow).

2) “Oh, it was..........(easy)”, said Kirsty.

3) Luke Ryan opened his eyes .............(slowly).

4) I think we can escape....................(easily).

When they are ready with the sentences teacher asks students to find what the missing

words refer to in the first two sentences (they describe nouns and they are adjectives)

and in the last two sentences (they describe verbs and they are adverbs). When students

are able to distinguish the difference between those two pairs of words, teacher asks

students to produce the rule for making adverbs (by adding –ly to an adjective).

Activity 5 (5 min.) Grammar

Students have to find in the story all adverbs that end with “-ly” and write them on the

BB together with verbs they describe.

Activity 6 (5 min.) Grammar

Students are to complete the next three sentences from the story, answer if the missing

words are adverbs or adjectives and justify their opinions:

1) You did that very.................(well).

2) They drove as................(fast) as possible to the airport.

3) He quickly grabbed the bag and pulled ............(hard).

Teacher explains that these are exceptions to the rule produced in the previous activity.

Activity 7 (5 min.) Grammar revision

“The little white cat”

Once upon a time there was a little white cat. This little white cat has six brothers

and sisters. They are all black and her mother and father are black. The little white cat

doesn’t know that she is white. She thinks she is black, too.

The little white cat grows older and older and bigger and bigger. One day the little

white cat says, “Do I want to be a farmer? No. Do I want to be a teacher? No. I know

– I want to be a witch’s cat!”

So the little white cat says to her mum, “Goodbye, mum! I’m going to be a witch’s

cat!”

“O, that’s nice!” says the little white cat’s mum. “Goodbye! Come and see us soon.”

The little white cat looks for a witch. She walks and she walks and she walks. At last

she finds a witch.

“Hello, witch. Have you got a cat?”

“No, I haven’t got a cat.”

“Well, I’m your cat!” says the little white cat.

“No, you’re not! You’re white. Witches have black cats. Go away!”

The poor little white cat! She is so sad! But she looks for another witch, and she walks

and she walks and she walks. At last she finds another witch.

“Hello, witch. Have you got a cat?”

“No, I haven’t got a cat.”

“Well, I’m your cat!” says the little white cat.

No, you’re not! You’re white. Witches have black cats. Go away!”

The poor little white cat! She is so sad and so hungry. She hasn’t got a job. She hasn’t

got any money. She hasn’t got any food. She is so hungry and so weak. But she looks

for another witch and so she walks and she walks and she walks.

At last she comes to a cottage. There is a chimney sweep sitting behind the cottage. He

is eating his lunch, sandwiches and cake.

“Hello, you are a poor little cat. What’s wrong?”

“I’m so weak, I’m so hungry. I haven’t got a job and I haven’t got any money.”

“Well, here’s a sandwich.”

“Thank you!” says the little white cat.

The little white cat eats the sandwich and then she feels better and stronger.

Then she looks at the chimney sweep’s bag of black, black soot. She puts in her paw.

She looks at her paw. It’s so black! She puts in her leg. She looks at her leg. It’s so

black. She jumps into the bag and then she jumps out of the bag.

“You are so black! Now you are a little black cat!”

“Am I? Am I a black cat? That’s good because I’m going to be witch’s cat!”

“You are lucky! You are so lucky! This is a witch’s cottage! She is sitting in the

rocking chair in the front door!”

The little white cat – the little black cat – walks around the house to the front door.

There is the witch sitting on her rocking chair in the sunshine. Her eyes are closed.

“Hello. Have you got a cat?”

“No, I haven’t got a cat.”

“Well, I’m your cat!” says the little white cat.

“Oh, that’s nice! Jump on my knee. Oh, you are a nice little cat!”

The witch strokes the little white cat – the little black cat. Then she says, “What a pity,

I can’t see you because I’m blind.”

„Stone Soup”

One day a tramp came to an old woman’s house. ‘Excuse me,’ said the tramp. ‘I’m

very hungry. Have you got anything to eat?’ But the old woman was very mean. ‘Go

away,’ she said. ‘I haven’t got any food for you.’ ‘Oh,’ said the tramp, ‘Well, have you

got any water? You see, I’ve got a magic stone and I can make soup with it. But I need

some water.’ ‘A magic stone, eh?’ said the mean old woman. ‘Yes, I’ve got some

water.’

She fetched a big saucepan of water and put it on the cooker. The tramp put the stone

into it. After a while he tasted the soup. ‘Mmm. It’s very good,’ he said. ‘Have you

got any salt and pepper?’ The old woman fetched some salt and pepper. ‘Mmm.

That’s better,’ said the tramp. ‘It really needs some vegetables. It’s a pity you haven’t

got any vegetables.’ ‘Oh, I can find some vegetables,’ said the old woman. She ran

into the garden and brought back some potatoes, carrots, beans and a big onion. The

tramp put the vegetables into the saucepan.

‘Is it ready now?’ asked the old woman. ‘Almost,’ said the tramp. ‘It really needs

some meat. It’s a pity you haven’t got any meat,’ ‘Oh, I can find some meat.’ said the

old woman. She ran to the cellar and came back with some ham and some sausages.

The tramp put them into the saucepan.

‘Right,’ said the tramp after a while. ‘I can’t see the stone now, so the soup is ready.

Bread is very good with stone soup. It’s a pity you haven’t got any bread.’ ‘Oh, I can

find some bread,’ said the woman. She went to the cupboard and fetched a loaf of

bread, some butter and a bottle of wine. She put them on the table with some knives,

forks and spoons.

‘Mm, this is delicious,’ said the old woman when she tasted the soup. ‘And you made it

with just that magic stone.’ The tramp smiled, picked up his knife and cut another slice

of bread.

“Dr. Dread”

Luke Ryan opened his eyes slowly. He was on a bed in a strange room. Kirsty was

there, too. “Are you all right?” she asked quietly.

“It doesn’t matter. You are both going to die.” It was Luke’s old enemy, Doctor Dread.

He laughed horribly. “I’ve got the computer chip now. So goodbye, Mr Ryan.” He left

the room and the guard locked the door. “It looks like the end,” said Kirsty sadly.

“No, we must stop him,” said Luke. “With that chip he can destroy all the world’s

satellites.”

“I know,” said Kirsty. “That guard is very slow. I think we can escape easily.” She

pointed to the blanket on the bed and whispered to Luke.

“That’s a good idea,” said Luke and he started to shout very loudly. “Oh, my stomach.

Help! My stomach! Help!”

The guard rushed in. “What’s all that noise?” he said. Kirsty threw the blanket over the

guard’s head. Luke hit him hard in the stomach and quickly grabbed his gun and the

keys.

“You did that very well,” said Luke, as they locked the guard in the room and ran out.

“Oh, it was easy,” said Kirsty.

There was a car in the street. Luke pushed the driver out and they drove as fast as

possible to the airport. When they arrived at the airport, they saw a small plane.

“That’s Dead’s plane,” said Luke. They ran to the plane. It was empty, so they got in

and hid behind the seats.

Soon Doctor Dread got into the plane. He carefully put a bag on the seat next to him,

started the plane and took off. Ten minutes later, when they were over the sea, he

looked at the bag. “With that chip I’m going to be master of the world,” he said

proudly.

“No, you aren’t,” shouted Luke. He jumped up from behind the seat and grabbed the

bag.

“Give that to me,” said Doctor Dread. He quickly grabbed the bag and pulled hard. But

he pulled too hard. The door behind him suddenly opened and he fell out. With the bag

in his hand he fell down and down and down into the sea.

Kirty flew the plane back to the airport and they landed safely.
