Lesson plan overview

Before classes

• Before the planned repetitive lesson, the teacher asks all students to recall the material of the e‑textbook from the lesson: „Motor system - bones and joints”, and the selected ones, to prepare a crossword based on the mechanism of the abstract for colleagues to work during the lesson.

Introduction

• The teacher gives the topic, the goals of the lesson in a language understandable for the student, and the criteria of success.

• The students, selected by the teacher, refer the lesson they read at home before the classes.

Realization

• Students, using the mechanism included in the abstract, prepare a test question for a friend.

• The teacher asks students to carry out the recommended interactive exercise themselves.

• Asking questions. Students use the form to write questions addressed to a friend in order to check the understanding of the text being heard.

• Students, working alone or in pairs, perform tasks indicated by the teacher.

• Expanding and enriching English vocabulary in the issues covered in the lesson - students perform language exercises included in the abstract. The teacher makes sure that the tasks have been correctly completed and gives feedback.

Summary

• The teacher carries out a summary part of the lesson using the trash and suitcase method. The teacher hands out small pieces of paper in two different colours (e.g. green and yellow). On the green pieces of paper the students write down the useful knowledge and skills they acquired during the class. The yellow pieces of paper are used to write down things the students did not find useful or interesting. The teacher reads students’ reflections.

Homework

• Listen to the abstract recording at home. Pay attention to pronunciation, accent and intonation. Learn to pronounce the words learned during the lesson.
