Lesson plan overview

Before classes

• Before classes, the instructor recommends students to read at home with all the material from the lesson „How are the different types of coasts formed?” In the e‑textbook.

Introduction

• In class, the teacher determines the purpose of the lesson, informing students about its planned course. Then he writes the topic of classes on the blackboard or interactive whiteboard. Students write it in notebooks..

• The teacher plays the recording of the abstract. Every now and then he stops it, asking the students to tell in their own words what they have just heard.This way, students practice listening comprehension.

Realization

• The teacher divides the class into groups and assigns a selected type of coast to each group for development. Each group prepares a short presentation containing the characteristics of a given type of coast, the genesis of its creation, and sample locations with images found on the Internet.

• The groups successively present the effects of working together. After the presentation, the students discuss the differences and similarities between particular types of coasts and factors that have contributed to the formation of particular types.

• The teacher asks the students the question about which types of sea shores discussed are found in Poland. Students submit proposals that are regularly recorded on the board. After making sure that there are no more proposals, the teacher presents students with a photo gallery showing examples of Polish coasts. Students based on images recognize individual types. At the end of this stage of the lesson, all the suggestions and factors discussed by students influencing the shape of the Polish shore of the Baltic are verified.

• Students, working individually or in pairs, carry out interactive exercises to check and consolidate knowledge learned during the lesson. Selected people discuss the correct solutions for interactive exercises. The teacher completes or corrects the statements of the proteges.

Summary

• The teacher goes on to summarize the lesson, during which the students can discuss any unclear issues and complete the notes..

Homework

• Prepare five questions about the issues discussed that could be found on the lesson of the lesson.

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

The following terms and recordings will be used during this lesson

How are various types of coasts created?

Many factors influence the form of the narrow strip of land adjacent to the shoreline – the coast. The most important are: the magnitude of waves and the associated destructive and accumulating processes, intensity of sea tides, strength and direction of sea currents, geological structure, epeirogenic and isostatic movements, coastal vegetation, and many others. Some coasts are growing as a result of various processes, other are retreating.
