I have an interview tomorrow for an ELD Teacher position, and I will be using this lesson plan as my mini presentation! Thank you soooo much because I was struggling! Fingers crossed--wish me luck!
You are so welcome! Check out our TESOL course's online modules for a bunch more nuggets like those. There are a lot of printable resources and training videos like this one in our course: citizenstesol.org
Thank you for your video. It's very helpful. May I ask some questions? I found out that my students used their native language when they did not know the vocabularies needed to describe or discuss the animals. Should I teach descriptive adjectives too or the kinds of vocabularies that they need to use in the production phase? And should I explain the grammar mistakes that my students did in the production phase in the wrap - up? Thank you so much...
Hi friend. Yep, you can find all of our Lesson Planning tutorials and resources in Module 2 of our online TESOL course, which you can start for free: goandteach.citizenstesol.org/courses/module2 And you can also find that "Animals" Sample Lesson Plan here: docs.google.com/presentation/d/1QMpjJG_V6IxFZMci5sJ6FEhABOTMv3zRXZT9V7I24q8/edit?usp=drive_link
Hi friend, the version we did of that "Toss the Ball" activity on this day was very simple, geared more for beginners. You can see it at 15:25 in the video. You can do a lot of different versions of this activity though, and you can even do something similar but WITHOUT a ball (for example, we talk about a similar activity that you can do to learn everyone's name in your class in this video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b9Qu5MX50Q8.html). For a list of 50+ popular activities you can use for teaching ESL and to get your students practicing a second language, check out our helpful guide called "Fun Activities for Teaching English": citizenstesol.org/fun-activities (You can find our explanation of this "Toss the Ball" game in that resource...it is activity #16!) Do you have any other questions about this activity that I can help you with? Blessings, -Andy
