Greeting Teacher greets learners and introduces the lesson objectives. To review the vocabulary, act out parts of the story and assess each other’s performances.
Vocabulary check Teacher makes sure that every student has read “The gift of the Magi”, which was given previously as a hometask. Then teacher hands out worksheets with pictures that represent some of the words from the text. Learners need to write the names of objects in the provided space.(I) Differentiation – more able learners write the words themselves, less able learners choose from the box. After the learners have finished, teacher shows the slides on the board, asks the class and checks the answers together with them.(W) Answers: 1. watch 2. store 3. heavy 4. gift 5. quiet 6. comb 7. coat 8. chain
Group division Learners take cards with book-related phrases on them. They should form groups of 3-4 by joining classmates whose cards have some common theme with theirs(e.g. apple, pear, banana will come together because they are fruits)
Role-play(G,W, SA) Teacher gives out cards with situations randomly to each group. They need to discuss the situation from the story, assign roles and perform it in front of the whole class.
Situation 1 – Della wants to buy a gift for Jim, so she goes to the hairdresser to cut and sell her hair. The hairdresser doesn’t want to cut it, but Della persuades her. Situation 2 – Jim wants to buy a comb for Della as a gift. He takes his watch to the store. The shopkeeper wants to pay a low price for it. Jim asks for more and then sells the watch. Situation 3 – Della is cooking dinner. Jim comes home at 7 o’clock. They give each other their presents.
Teacher should monitor the preparation process, check, if everyone takes equal participation, and provide help if necessary. As each group performs, others should assess them according to the criteria provided.
Criteria
Reflection Teacher invites learners to put sticky notes on the picture that best describes how they felt during the lesson.
