Lesson plan example Lesson plan: I will start the class by introducing myself and asking them to do the

same. My introduction: 5min I already did one exercise with you but since I will be your teacher for the next 45minutes I will properly introduce myself. My name is Ana. I am a 4th year student at the Faculty of Philosophy studying English and Comparative literature. I am here because I have to do my teaching practice. This is all new to me so I am a little nervous but I hope that I will do a good job and that you will be satisfied. Now can you tell me a little about yourself? What do you do? Activity 1:5min Aim: introduction to the first exercise Ask the following question Questions: 1. Do you wake up early in the morning? When? 2. Do you use an alarm clock to wake up? 3. Do you get up as soon as you wake up? Activity 2:pg.92 5min Aim: introduction to phrasal verbs exercise 1a. match the questions with the pictures instructions: match the questions from 1-7 with pictures from A-G. The first example is given. Activity 3: pg.92 5min Aim: practice using phrasal verbs introduced in activity 2 exercise 1b. cover the questions and using the pictures ask your colleague the questions. Write some of their answers on the board: Aim: to focus their attention on the topic of phrasal verbs and to make clear the purpose of this task. Board description: I wake up at 6 oclock I turn off my alarm clock immediately. I turn on the radio/light. I put on my shoes. Ask them if they know what these phrases are called? Explain that a phrasal verb consists of a verb and a particle. Activity 4: pg. 153 3min Aim: introduction of new phrasal verbs vocabulary bank: task a. match the sentences and the pictures Instructions: there are 12 pictures on the right hand side of the page. On the left hand side there are 12 sentences. You have to match the sentences to the pictures. An example is given. Activity 5: 7min Aim: to check if they understood what a phrasal verb consists of and to check if they understand its meaning.

Instructions: Go through the answers of activity 4 and after each answer ask the students to single out the phrasal verb and say what it means. e.g. picture 3 - we often stay up late at the weekend. Phrasal verb: stay up What does stay up mean? Ans. not go to bed Activity 6: pg.153 5min Aim: to memorize the phrasal verbs by looking at the pictures Vocabulary bank: task b. Instructions: cover the sentences and try to remember which phrasal verb goes with which picture. Activity 7: 10min Aim: to check if they have managed to memorize the phrasal verbs explained and used in activities 5 and 6, and also to provide more examples on the board for further grammatical explanation. I will ask the following questions to which they will answer with a phrasal verb. Instructions: I will ask you a question using a verb and you will answer the question with an appropriate phrasal verb. 1. When will the class finish? Ans. the class will be over at 5 oclock. 2. When you go to a late night party, do you go to bed early? And. No, I stay up late. 3. When you watch a movie do you put the volume higher or lower? Ans. I turn down the volume or I turn up the volume. 4. would you like to quit smoking? Ans. yes I would like to give up smoking Put the answers on the board: Aim: to explain by way of comparison the grammatical features of phrasal verbs Board description: The class will be over at 5 oclock No, I stay up late. I wake up at 6 oclock I turn off my alarm clock immediately. I turn on the radio/light. I put on my shoes I turn down the volume. Ask the students the question: How are the first 3 sentences different from the other 4 sentences? Explain: the last 4 sentences have an object. In most cases when a verbal phrase has an object it can be inserted between the verb and the particle. This is not always so if you are not sure put the objects after it. If the object is a pronoun like it or them it is placed between the verb and the particle. This is the case with these 4 phrasal verbs. I will write an example on the board: I turn off my alarm at 6 oclock/I turn my alarm off at 6 oclock/I turn IT off at 6 oclock. I will ask them to do the same for the other 3 sentences. Activity 8: 10min Aim : to introduce the possibility of a phrasal verb whose object, in the form of a noun or a pronoun, always follows it.

Task: ask the students the following question: do you know any phrasal verbs with the verb to look? Ans. look after, look forward to, look for Contextualize the phrasal verbs: Look after- you can look after a child/or baby-sit a child. Can we say look a child after/or look it after? Ans. no Summarize the grammatical features: There are 3 types of sentences: Type 1- no object, the verb and the particle are never separated Type 2- with an object, the verb and the particle can be separated if a word is a noun and must be separated if the word it a pronoun Type 3- with an object but the verb and the particle cannot be separated. Advise: if you are not sure listen to your instinct, repeat it to yourself and choose the answer that sound the bestin most cases what you think is right is actually the right answer. If they ask why type 2 and type 3 differ explain: if the particle is an adverb the noun can go between but if it is a preposition than it cannot. Also explain that this could be confusing because sometimes one particle can be both a preposition and an adverb. The easiest way to learn the rule is to memorize the phrasal verbs but in most cases the instinct helps! Activity 9: pg. 92 Aim: to check if they had understood the grammatical features explained and to remind them of the rules that will be illustrated in the sentences of the next activity. Exercise 2 Grammar: task b. Activity 10:pg. 92 2min Aim: practice Instructions: match sentences 1-8 with their answers from A-H Exercise 2 grammar: task d. Go through the answers. Following exercises are just in case there is time left: Activity 11:3min Task d. pg. 92-same exercise as above Cover the answers and try to remember them Aim: practice Activity 12: Instructions: ask the following questions: write the phrasal words on the board.

Take back Explain that you give back something you borrow but take back something that you buy Did you ever borrow money from somebody? Did you pay it back?
