Introducing learning and lesson objectives

Teacher: Today we are going to have an interesting lesson about different holiday activities. We will describe these activities, read about these activities, compare them and write about our favourite holiday activities.

Teacher divides the learners into 3 groups: Australia, Kazakhstan, and Thailand.

Differentiation by the tasks

In group learners do different tasks according their abilities.

Students are given the list of new vocabulary on the topic and do exercises.

Less able learners: fill in the gaps with go, play or do/make.

… skiing; …… beach volleyball; …swimming; ……snowman; …camping; ……bowling; …… windsurfing; ……sunbathing; ……sandcastle, …… sailing; …… shopping

More able learners: tell which holiday activities are the most popular in our country and when we do them: in winter / in summer.

Most able learners: make up their own sentences with given words.

Descriptor: A learner

- fills in the gaps with go, play or do;

- answers the questions;

- creates 5 sentences using new words and grammar structures.

Writing time

(P) Learners in pairs write a week’s plan for an adventure holiday, using Present Continuous, and compare with another pair. What’s the same and what’s the different?

E.g. We’re swimming on Wednesday.

Jigsaw reading approach

Each group takes the text.

Pre-reading activity.

(G) Learners read the first sentence in the text and answer the questions:

-Where is each person?

-What do you know about this place?

-Have you ever been there?

Descriptor: A learner

(W) While reading activities

Learners read the text and underline the sentences with Present Continuous tense.

Descriptor: A learner

-Underlines the sentences with Present Continuous tense in the text.

Post reading activity

Values links

-Differentiation by dividing students with different abilities

-More support can be given in the middle of lesson by providing pictures, which learners should find and name.

-Most able students create sentences from these words.

-Ask more able learners describe the most popular activities in Kazakhstan.

-Learners, who are less confident at describing, can fill in the gaps with go, play, do/make.

-Monitor how clearly learners pronounce words and sentences.

-Monitor how students write the sentences. Notice any sentences which are difficult for learners to understand and adapt for a future lesson.

-Monitor group work as they agree on and prepare the description of the holiday activities. Do they take turns to speak? Do they contribute appropriate language for the description?

- Links to the L1: Do learners know the holiday activities in their native language L1?

-Make sure learners have all necessary things to create the Venn diagram.

- Respect, cooperation and collaboration
