Resources

Beginning

7- 10 min

Ask learners how many books they have already read in English or any other languages.

And what kind of book they like to read and why.

Middle

10 minutes

15 minutes

Learners first engage in pre-reading activities, and then listen and follow pictures of first half of a simple sea story.

Learners look at the PPT and try to predict what about story will be.

Allow time before reading for pre-reading activities such as:

1. describing the front cover

2. predicting the story

3. predicting words that might be in the story

4. discussing what kind of books learners like

Teacher will provide reading the story

Pre – reading task

Work with the words from the text. Match the words with the pictures.

Not all learners will be at the same level. Establish guided reading groups. Consider intervention strategies for reading if necessary. A reading scheme is valuable here in that it allows for individuals to progress at their own pace and for consolidation of tricky words and phonics.

Teacher uses storybook and/or page projection and tells the story using own voice.

After reading task:

For differentiation at this lesson it is recommended to pair students of the same ability levels (weak+weak or strong+strong). For this activity the teacher comes up to weaker students to support with vocabulary or ideas.

Group 1 (high level students) Retell the text

Group 2 ( low level students) Answer the questions

1. Where do sea stars live?

2. How many arms do most sea stars have?

3. What happens if a sea star loses an arm?

4. What do sea stars love to eat?

5. How do sea stars stay safe from danger?

Feedback: Leaners share their ideas. Teacher monitors their work and writes down the words with incorrect pronunciation on the board. Teacher drills the pronunciation of certain words.

Additional information

Differentiation – how do you plan to give more support? How do you plan to challenge the more able learners?

Assessment – how are you planning to check learners’ learning?

Differentiation can be by task, by outcome, by individual support, by selection of teaching materials and resources taking into account individual abilities of learners (Theory of Multiple Intelligences by Gardner).

Differentiation can be used at any stage of the lesson keeping time management in mind
