Description

This lesson will further develop the student's receptive skills: Reading and Listening. The lesson will start with an understanding of the word "right," in its multiple meanings. A warm up will activate and energize the students in the topic of homonyms. The lesson will then center around a quiz-reading (scan) and a listening (first for specific information and then in greater detail) to answer quiz questions and more in-depth comprehension questions.

Main Aims

  • Receptive Skills: Reading (scanning) and Listening (for specific information and for detail) For the students to be able to scan the quiz text to choose the appropriate answer. For Ss to listen for specific detail and then more closely for detail, answering to the comprehention activities.

Subsidiary Aims

  • Speaking and Vocabulary (Homonym) "Right"- For students to know and be able to identify, as well as speak, using the various uses of the word "right."

Procedure

Warmer - Two (or three) teams Homonyms Matching Game (7-10 minutes) • A warmer game which activates the students. For students to have fun and speak to each other and share their background knowledge of some vocabulary in order to clarify the homonyms.

Write the words on the board 2 times: Can, Spring, Kind, Reservation, Park Ask the students what they think these words are, why I wrote them twice.... Ask the meaning(s) of the words :) Possible CCQ's Is this a verb we use when we are able to do something? Is this a metal container we can drink juice or cola from? Is this a season where the flowers bloom? Is this a coil (draw on the board) that is inside a bed (mattress) or used in a pen? Is this a word we can use to describe a person? how about when we talk about many different things.....(kind)? Can we make a reservation for plane tickets or at a restaurant? Can we feel this way if we are hesitating or are unsure? Show the Homonym Image (definition) Tell the students we will be playing a GAME. Split the class into two or three groups. Give them the homonym matching game cards. Explain in demo "Park" matching with "Park" 4 minutes - get as many matches as they can! Some of them are tricky!!!!!! Don't worry if they don't know some of the words. Try to match the words they do know! Give Homonyms answer key for after-class refernce.

Vocabulary (8-10 minutes) • To review and practice the usage of the multiple meanings of "right" through worksheet activities.
