Iam starting a topic on family teaching esl students age around 10.I assume they have taken family vocabulary but being second language learners we as teachers and in todays world know they forget or I dont know but it seems kids dont learn anymore (not persimistic a fact) too much distruction. We do our duty and try hard the rest is in god �s hand .ok the lesson :
1. Iam confused do I start with brain storming or start with a boy from England named peter and put his picture on the board and tell students he sent them something in envelops.I ask them to open the envelopes and put the pictures and words they found on the board (words on one side pictures on the other).After that they choose the word e.g father and put it under the fathers picture and so on... (grandfather,grandmother,father,mother,sister,brother only).
now
Iam confused I want to introduce the th sound but then Iam like later maybe ...
2. They read the words then after that I remove the pictures and leave the words I give them pictures of an Arab family now and tell them peter wants to know their family.and let them put the pictures to match the words left on the board.(a different idea is give them pictures and words to make a poster for peter with their family members. I dont know MMMMM)
3. I let them play pick and tell pictures and words (in pairs)if their partner is wrong they give him thumbs down if they are right thumbs up.And they take turns.
4.Now I assume now they know the family words and can work alone(individual) .I have three ideas here 1. crossword they find the words and write them down or 2. I give them a magnifying glass and very tiny words for them to read and write them down or maybe in Numbers like 6-2-20-8-5-18 and they find the letter to read and write eg father.
After that I end the lesson by I don �t know checking their papers together or by giving them a checklist of smiley faces showing I know my family vocab they choose yes ,no , confused etc .... I really feel like I ran out of teaching ideas
give me feedback please guys ....
