Assumptions What do you expect the students will already know about the language/content of your lesson?
Students will be familiar with the concept of tips for the kitchen, but I’m sure they will learn specific tips and perhaps several new words.
Anticipated problems (skills and classroom management – NOT language. E.g. problems with timing, grouping, instructions, topics, logistics, etc.)
  • Students might complete the tasks too quickly
  • Students might not engage in the activities
  • My instructions might be confusing
/ Solutions to these problems:
  • I have created fast finisher tasks for these students
  • I will have them work alone briefly and then pair them
  • I will demo beforehand and ask ICQ’s

Personal Aims - What action points from your previous lesson(s) are you working on?
  • I need to set a clear context
  • Asking ICQ’s and CCQ’s
  • Rely on the lesson plan less while I am teaching and be more confident with the material and how the information will be conveyed.
/ Where are these on your lesson plan? What is your strategy to improve in these areas?
  • My lesson is about tips for the kitchen and ties in with the two previous lessons about cooking and food. There is no space for me to veer off of this theme.
  • Scripted on my procedure plan
  • Practice at home several times beforehand so I can visualize the steps without having to read them

Board Plan: At each stage of the lesson the board will look like this:
