Rationale
Topic : The topic that I have chosen is “ Be A Good Child ” which is a poem under the theme “ World of personal relationships ”. Pupils like to recite poem. Reciting poem is one of the good strategies to master the reading skill. This topic offers a meaningful and effective context for the class to learn the language skills and moral values in an integrated manner. The thinking skills are also developed and sharpened gradually through this lesson.
Specifications : The following specifications 1.6.1, 2.6.1, 3.4.1 are integrated into this lesson plan. The language skills: listening, speaking and reading are blended. They are related to previous lessons taught.
Learning
outcomes : Learning outcomes in this lesson are closely related. The strategies planned are within the students’ abilities. By the end of the lesson, they will be able to recite the poem with correct pronunciation, stress, intonation, expression and appropriate gestures. Besides, they are able to list out good behaviours from the poem.
Stage 1 : First, I teach pupils to sing a song “ I am a good child ”. It can make a joyful atmosphere in the class. Next, I display a poem “ Be A Good Child “ written on a big cardboard on the board. I recite the poem with correct pronunciation, stress and intonation to let pupils know the correct technique to recite. Then, I explain the meaning of the poem to the pupils so that the difficult words will not be a hindrance to the pupils to recite later. Then, I guide the pupils to recite the poem. After reciting, I guide the pupils to elicit good values from the poem.
Stage 2 : Referring to the poem, I recite the poem again with expression and appropriate gestures. Then, I divide the pupils into 5 groups and instruct them to practice reciting the poem in their groups. It is a good way to train the pupils to work in cooperation. After a while, every group recites the poem with correct pronunciation, stress, intonation, expression and appropriate gestures by turns. The pupils are instructed to evaluate their friend’s presentations. It is an opportunity to let pupils appreciate the poetry recitation of others.
Stage 3 : Before ending the lesson, I ask the pupils to list out the good behaviours from the poem. Through this stage, I inculcate the pupils with the moral values.
