Lesson 26

LESSON PLAN
Topic: The great impostor. Grammar: Purpose cause and result
Level: pre- intermediate
Objectives: develop students’s conversation skills in English
Time: 80 minutes
Materials: text book handouts, board and a computer, pictures, marker
Warm up: Ice-braker speaking activity
Objectives: to prepare students for the lesson, activate their background knowledge in top-own processing
Time: 10 minutes
Materials: text –book, board and the chalk
Mode of interaction: whole class Make an anchor chart.
As you introduce cause and effect, an anchor chart can help reinforce the concept. They’re great to refer back to when reviewing and are helpful for kids to look at when working independently.
One thing to emphasize is that the cause is why something happened. The cause always happens first, even if it isn’t mentioned first. The effect
is what happened, and it occurs after the cause.

Activity - 1

Objective: to teach the target grammar
Time: 25 minutes.
Materials: copies of the text from the book as handouts
Mode of interaction: group work and pair work
Procedure: Gather a few items to use as cause-and-effect examples ahead of time. You could push a row of dominoes, turn a light switch on, pop a balloon,
roll a ball, drop a Hot Wheel car down a ramp, and so on. As you (or, even better, a student) demonstrate these examples, ask your kids the cause and the effect for each.

Activity -2

Objectives: to discuss real-life examples using the target language
Time: 20 minutes
Material: handout
Mode of interaction: pair work

Procedure:

Give your class real scenarios and ask what would happen. You might say, If you left an ice cube on the hot sidewalk during the summer, what would happen? Then have students determine the cause and effect.
Continue asking similar questions, using the same frame of if (the cause)
and what (the effect). For example, if you ate too much candy at one time, what would happen? If you practiced playing the piano every day, what would happen? If you never brushed your teeth, what would happen? To add some fun, you might even make it silly. Maybe, If an elephant jumped into a tiny pool, what would happen? Or If you saw an alien, what would happen?
