Prepositions
Grade 2 level

Description

In this lesson, students learn about the prepositions "in, on, under, next to" through guided discovery based on a PowerPoint presentation about toys. The lesson starts with role playing where an absent-minded teacher forgets where he'd put his materials. This is followed by showing a series of slides that will enable students to see the location of things. Finally, there is some controlled practice through sentence formulation.

Materials

No materials added to this plan yet.

Main Aims

  • To provide clarification of prepositions "in, on, under, next to" in the context of toys

Subsidiary Aims

  • To provide review of "plane, truck, bulldozer, car, figure" in the context of toys.

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (2-4 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

After introducing himself, T begins acting like he forgot where he'd put his book, pen and laptop. T asks for help from Ss and try eliciting oral answers, directions. Whenever he finds one of his materials, he emphasizes the words "under, in, on, next to."

Exposure (3-5 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

T shows the ppt slides to Ss for visual exposure to the structure. T reads the example aloud and asks Ss to repeat. T also includes a short imitation game here by asking Ss to read one of the sentences with a sad face, with a laughter, a cry and a sleepy face.

Highlighting (3-4 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

T takes out his toys and puts them on his table. After placing them, T asks Ss "Where is the Spider-Man?" After eliciting the correct answer and repeating it aloud, he asks another one: "Where is the car, Lightning McQueen?"

Controlled Practice (6-7 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

T divides the class into 5 groups and gives one toy to each group. T asks Ss to place it somewhere close by and talk about it's location. The activity continues by taking turns, giving every student a chance to touch the toy and utter a sentence.
