Main Aims

  • The main aim of this lesson is for students to get familiar with the five senses and what body parts are used for these sentences. Students will also start to form full senses using these five senses and body parts.

Subsidiary Aims

  • vocabulary of the five senses
  • vocabulary of the body parts associated with the five senses

Procedure

Warmer/Lead-in (3-5 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

I will play a short video on the five senses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXXiyIGqliE I will show the students the sense puppets while the song is playing.

Exposure (8-10 minutes) • To provide context for the target language through a text or situation

I will go through each of the Power Point slides to showcase each sense and what body part is used for that sense. I will also show students where on their body they can find these parts.

Highlighting (2-4 minutes) • To draw students' attention to the target language

I will ask the students if they know where are their body parts that are used for each sense, such as where are your eyes? and I will let them know that our eyes let us see. I will ask students to point to their nose and ask if they know what they use their nose for? Where is your tongue and ask the students what their tongue is used for? and so one with each sense that corresponds to each specific body part.

Clarification (8-10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

According to the stages above, my students now know the meaning, I will just correct their pronunciation by repetition.

Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

I will have a poster of Mr. Potato Head and ask the students where does each body part go and what is that body part used for? Such as ears are used for hearing etc.

Semi-Controlled Practice (8-10 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice

Teacher will play Simon Says, where students can familiarize themselves with their body parts and senses, that are discussed in this lesson. For example: the teacher says Simon says touch your ears so you can hear, touch your nose so you can smell and so forth.

Free Practice (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language

Teacher will hand out worksheet, where students will match the senses to the pictures. For early finishers, the teacher will hand out a worksheet where students can color, cut out and sort the senses with the matching pictures.
