Lesson plan overview

Before classes

  1. Before the planned repetitive lesson, the teacher asks all students to recall the material of the e‑textbook from the {chapter, chapter, lesson}, and the selected ones, to prepare a crossword, based on the generator included in the abstract, for colleagues to work during the lesson.

Introduction

  1. The teacher states the subject of the lesson, explains the aim of the lesson and together with students determines the success criteria to be achieved.

  2. The teacher reminds the participants of the classes what subject area the lesson will concern.

Realization

  1. Students display interactive crosswords on the interactive board. The task of the others is to guess individual passwords. After each crossword, students assess the questions based on the technique of lights (whether they are clear, logically formulated). The teacher assesses questions in terms of language and provides feedback.

  2. 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 straightens the statements of the proteges.

  3. Exercise 1. Asking questions. Students use the form to write questions addressed to a friend in order to check the understanding of the text being heard.

  4. Students use the interactive board to organize their knowledge.

  5. The teacher together with the students sums up the current course of classes.

  6. Working in groups using expert tables. The teacher divides the class into five groups. Each of them receives one task to develop:
    Group 1: Communication components
    Group 2: Signs, indicators, icons and symbols - what they are, how to distinguish them, examples
    Group 3: What are the functions of expression?
    Group 4: Development of communication over the centuries
    Group 5: What are the sources of information and why?
    Each group has 10 minutes to develop the topic. Then the groups exchange their members: each group comes with one person from another group. Students exchange knowledge with each other.

Summary

  1. The teacher discusses the course of the lesson, indicates the strengths and weaknesses of students' work, thus giving them feedback.

Homework

  1. Make at home a note from the lesson, for example using the sketchnoting method.

Nagranie lektorskie: In the world of signs. We observe various signs on a daily basis. They inform us about things, convey a certain meaning. Usually, they are created by a person aiming to communicate something to us. However, we often assign a certain meaning to something by ourselves, creating our own interpretation. Signs are therefore a form to which we assign a certain meaning. We perceive them through different senses, mostly through sight and hearing, but taste, touch and smell can have their role too. It is worth to know the nature of signs and their role in interpersonal communication. Indicators, icons, symbols. Signs are objects which direct our thoughts to other objects or phenomena. For example, a stream of letters „bicycle” makes us think about 'a two wheel human powered vehicle' while a road sign prohibiting the cross without stopping refers to a thought about the danger that makes people stop. Signs consist of two elements: a signifying (medium of meaning) and a signified (meaning). Signs can refer to other objects or phenomena in three ways. For that reason, we divide them into: indicators (indexes), icons and symbols. Interestingly, the functions of indicator, icon and symbol can co exist in one sign. It is an indicator of a left turn because behind it the road actually turns left, it is also a symbol of warning because people agreed to war fast drivers by a triangular shape on a yellow background (and not differently), it is an icon because of being a very schematic picture of a bending road. It's the same case with knocking on the door: it indicates there is a person standing behind the door, it is a symbolic sign meaning could you open the door?, it is an arbitral conventional sign because we could scratch the door (like dogs and cats do) or rub it as well.
