Good morning, class! I
hope you're all feeling excited for today's English
lesson.
For our warm-up
activity, we're going to work on cause and effect linkers. But
first, let's greet each other. Turn to your neighbor and say, "Good
morning, how are you today?"
Now, let's dive into
our warm-up. I'll give you a cause or an effect, and I want you to
provide the corresponding linker. For example, if I say "The rain
was heavy, ___________ the streets flooded," you would fill in the
blank with the appropriate linker.
Are you ready? Let's
begin:
She missed the bus,
____________ she was late for
school.
He studied hard,
____________ he passed the exam.
The baby was crying
loudly, ____________ she wanted
attention.
The chef burnt the
pizza, ____________ it tasted
terrible.
They practiced every
day, ____________ they won the
competition.
Take a moment to think about the linkers that would
complete each sentence. When you're ready, feel free to share your
answers.
|
Students respond to the
greeting from the teacher and take their places in the
classroom.
They may
say:
"Hello, teacher! We're
good, thank you."
"Hi! We're fine, how
about you?"
"Good
morning/afternoon, everyone! We're doing well,
thanks."
Students then settle
down at their desks or assigned seats, ready to begin the lesson.
WARM UP.
Great job setting the
stage for the warm-up activity! Here are some possible linkers that
the students might use to complete the
sentences:
She missed the bus, so
she was late for school.
He studied hard, so he
passed the exam.
The baby was crying
loudly, because she wanted
attention.
The chef burnt the
pizza, so it tasted terrible.
They practiced every
day, and as a result, they won the
competition.
Encourage the students to share their answers and discuss
any variations they may have. This will help reinforce their
understanding of cause and effect
linkers.

For students with special needs, it's important to ensure
that the activities are accessible and provide necessary support.
Here are a few suggestions to accommodate students with special
needs:
Clarify Instructions: Ensure that the instructions are
clear and concise. Repeat or rephrase them if necessary. Provide
visual aids or written instructions as additional
support.
Provide Additional Time: Allow extra time for students to
complete tasks or exercises. Flexibility in time management can
reduce stress and help students with special needs to fully
participate.
Modify Tasks: If some tasks are too challenging, consider
simplifying them or breaking them down into smaller steps. Provide
alternative ways for students to demonstrate understanding, such as
verbal responses or drawing
pictures.
Offer Peer Support: Pair students with special needs with a
peer buddy who can offer assistance and support during activities.
Encourage collaboration and
teamwork.
Use Multi-Sensory Approaches: Incorporate various sensory
modalities into the lesson, such as visual aids, hands-on
activities, or auditory cues. This can cater to different learning
styles and enhance comprehension.
Provide Individualized Feedback: Offer personalized
feedback and encouragement to students with special needs. Focus on
their strengths and areas for improvement, and celebrate their
progress.
Create a Positive Learning Environment: Foster a supportive
and inclusive classroom atmosphere where all students feel valued
and respected. Encourage empathy and understanding among
classmates.
By implementing these
strategies, you can create an inclusive learning environment where
students with special needs can actively participate and succeed in
the lesson activities.
