FORM 1 ENGLISH

TEACHING ORGANISER
2017
Based on the new 2017 KSSM English Textbook

Note to the teachers using this organiser:

This TO is based solely on the prescribed KSSM Form 1
English textbook. Edit the dates for each theme.
Please edit the teachers name accordingly. It is not
recommended to print and share a single organiser for
all teachers because different classes are taught by
different teachers (unless class-sharing is a common
practice). Please edit and use your own, not your
colleagues.
List down all form 1 classes youre teaching. Jotting
down expected/ perceived proficiency level in bracket
will help a lot when youre assigning bands according to
the performance standards later on.
The term Learning & Facilitating is used in place of
Teaching & Learning to better reflect 21st Century
Learning practices (PdPc Pembelajaran dan
Pemudahcaraan).
The suggested activities for Listening & Speaking,
Reading, and Writing are segregated into bandapproriate columns to facilitate differentiated learning
and to make it easier for teachers to assign students
into bands.
Note that there are NO performance standards for
Grammar, Action-oriented tasks and Literature in
Action.
The Literature components used for LiA are based on
the new textbook. Feel free to include activities suitable
for poems/ short stories/ graphic novels/ short plays
from previously prescribed literature component
readings.
Due to socioeconomic and cultural differences, the One
Size Fits All principle does not apply to all teaching
organisers. The most
ideal organisers are those
designed with a specific school with specific clients
(read: students) in mind.
Good luck with the new syllabus and have fun!
