LESSON PLAN
[edit | edit source]0 Before Class
[edit | edit source]- Draw a blank seating chart on the board.
- Write seating chart above it.
1 Opening Greeting
[edit | edit source]- How are you?
- Did you have a fun winter vacation? What did you do?
- How was your new years dinner? Whad did you eat?
- Do you have any questions for me?
2 Introduce the Tests and Grading Policy
[edit | edit source]- This semester will be different. There will be tests.
- Your grade will come from the tests and your classroom performance.
- Do you have any questions?
3 Seating Chart
[edit | edit source]- Now we are going to create a seating chart, so I can learn your
names.
- I am going to give everyone a new seat.
- After I give you a seat, please write your name on the board in your
seat.
- You can use your Chinese name or an English name.
- If you use your Chinese name, please write it in pinyin.
- If you want to pick a new English name, that's OK.
- One by one select students and give them new seats. Mixing boys and
girls usually works best, but do not tell them you will be mixing, just do it.

- Write the page numbers on the board.
- 7B: Pages 99 - 108

sections.

practice their names.

1 Mar 2010
- have the stuff about the tests written in chinese.
- seating chart takes a really long time.
- Should I try having them write their names on the board in pinyin,
so I can learn faster?
- Have them take out the answers as they are sitting down?
- Lessons went fast. Kids and I both had fun. Not totally sure how
much English was learned.
- Next week I really do not want to do this again.
- 7A The wording of "Let's Listen" B was too difficult.
- 7A Were not excited to hear about the tests.
- 8A Let's listen was easy overall, but challenged a few of the
students.
