CLASS 1

Warm- up - 20 minutes

To clarify the form the target language  

1.       Teacher will show two videos in the same format (explanation of verb tenses according to the temporal differences of each one making comparisons between them) about present simple and past simple

               Present simple Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvVdIJ0las0&ab_channel=ESLLibrary

               Past simple video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI3S3kdkofo&ab_channel=ESLLibrary

2. .       Teacher will ask question about present and past.  

  •   What activities did you do before that you don't do now?
  •   What do you like now that you didn't like before?  

In this part, the importance of expressions of time is very relevant since it helps the student to complete his speech in a satisfactory way. The teacher will give the students expressions of the time about present and past so that the student can say complete sentences.


First Part (45 minutes)    

  • The teacher will send a link about a specific situation based on a bad experience. 

Video Link: i was in a toxic relationship: my story

Learning with stories besides being effective is also more fun and enjoyable, it is very useful if the teacher is trying to optimize the teaching environment, the teacher may be better off spending his time on stories, as it is a meaningful and familiar medium, rather than in a classroom where he is expected to not only memorize grammar rules, but also use them accurately when speaking or writing; thus, this is an example that could connect with given environments in the lives of students. This will allow them to connect more with the subject and in this way the student could be motivated to practice it. Stories are how we, as people, make sense of the world.

Teacher will ask: 

  • Have you had toxic relationships?  

  • Students will tell a story or event that they have had in their lives related to toxic relationships. Teacher will give to the student time expression to create complete ideas.

 


After socializing the past events related to this problem, the teacher will show a video explaining the warnings and characteristics that a toxic relationship has.  

    Youtube video:  12 Signs You're in an Unhealthy Relationship


·         Teacher will ask specific questions about the topic.

 

-          How could someone show their romantic partner that they respect them?

-          What are some disrespectful things a romantic partner might do?

-          What are the red flags or signs of a toxic relationship?

    After the first activity, students will do a poster about warnings and advices of having a toxic relationship.

  • Students will create groups of three people. 
  •   Students will expose their poster giving a key message of the lesson. 

Example:


Second part (45 minutes)  

  • Teacher will share a TED video 

            Youtube video: The difference between healthy and unhealthy love | Katie Hood

TED Talks feature remarkable people communicating passionately and persuasively about ideas they want to share with the world and are a unique source of engaging and up-to-date real language. The talks are intrinsically interesting and are watched by tens of millions of people around the world. In the ELT classroom these talks provide: 

  • Motivating content that learners choose to watch in their leisure time for entertainment, inspiration and to satisfy their natural curiosity about the world around them. 

  • Educational content (students learn about important ideas in the world as well as learning English). 

  • Exposure to different language varieties (Keynote has a mix of TED Talks given by British English, American English, and Australian speakers; each lesson includes a glossary to compare and contrast language varieties). 

  • Exposure to different accents (native: British, US, Australian as well as non-native). 
  • Up-to-date language. 
  • Ideal material for developing critical thinking skills. 
  • Engaging models of world-class presentation skills. 

  • Teacher will share a document about healthy and unhealthy sings about relationships.    
  •  

  • Students identify if they have had these signs in any family or personal relationship. The results will not be exposed, it is simply an exercise in reflection.

 

Students will make a composition about their opinion in order to create a video. For this:


  •   Teacher should give information about how to do an opinion paragraph. Here there is an example with a presentation.
  • Student will do an opinion paragraph of ten sentences.

                     Example: opinion paragraph

  • Students will create a TED video explaining their paragraph in a PowToon Video.

Wrap up  20 minutes 

  • ·    Finally, students will show their PowToon videos to the whole class.  

     

    PowToon is the answer to boring, text filled presentations that lose audience attention after just a few slides. With the ability to create voiceovers, add text, images, characters, props and music, users are able to create engaging, entertaining, professional quality animations.
