GREETINGS

The teacher sets the lesson objectives, letting students know what to anticipate from the lesson.

Warming up – “Vocabulary cards”

Inform students about the lesson objectives.

The first person who guesses the word owns the card. At the end of the activity, the person who has more cards is the winner

Students play the game in groups of three to consolidate the vocabulary. Each group is provided with a pile of cards face down. In turn, students take a card and define the word written on it (there is a definition on each card as a reminder) for others to guess which word is that.

Mobile Applications

1. Show students a slide with the icons of different mobile applications (clock, calculator, text messages, volume/sound, calendar, camera, internet, address book, music). Ask students to explain their functions. They may add other types of applications that exist to the list (translators, notes, radio, instagram, voice recorder, etc).

2. Ask students what functions the modern phones are lacking. If there are any, then they are to ‘invent’ a dream application to solve one of the problems mentioned above. Emphasize that they should explain how to program it (make sure students apply their ICT knowledge).

3. Hereafter, students imagine that they are presenting their application to potential customers and advertise it appropriately.

You may organize the presentation in the form of a gallery walk when students outline their ideas on a poster. Then they walk around the class, read the information on other students’ posters, write their comments or questions on the sticker and stick it to the poster. Finally, all students go back to their groups, read the comments and answer the questions.

Requirements for the presentation

Students explain functions of mobile applications.

Ss create an icon for their application and explain it. They have 5 minutes for preparation.

SS go to the board to briefly explain the purpose and functions of their mobile applications.

REFLECTION

Students are to determine their level truthfully. If a student is confident enough, they choose more than 60%, if they still struggle with the topic, they choose less than 60%.

Homework: Prepare the speech/presentation of your most favourite / useful application. Less able students may examine and research the applications of their own phones.

Saying goodbye

Students reflect on the lesson according to “The Ladder of Success” technique.
