General Instructions for all of our ESL Grammar-based Lesson Plans

SImple Present What do you do in the evening? General Instructions for all of our ESL Grammar-based Lesson Plans 1. Before starting the lesson: Use the flashcards to elicit and teach the new vocabulary. After the students are familiar with the new words, use the flashcards to elicit the grammar structure. When your students are familiar with the grammar structure and the new words, hand out page one. Re-elicit the vocabulary and write it on the board. The students should then write each word below the corresponding image on their page. After the students have written each word below each image, re-elicit the questions and answers for the images at the bottom of the page. Then write them on the board, and have your students copy them on their page. Students can use this page in the future to study and review the structure. 2. Pair Work: Every lesson plan contains a pair work exercise. There is usually a Sheet A and a Sheet B, (one for each partner.) Put your students in groups and have them ask each other questions about the missing information. 3. Follow-up: After the students have finished their pair work, there is a follow-up activity for the students to do on their own. Students will answer questions based on the information they received in the pair work exercise. (Make sure they are not doing the follow-up activity and pair work activity at the same time. These are meant to be done separately.) 4. Listening: For our listening tasks, it is up to the teacher to decide what the answers should be. The teacher then makes statements as the students listen and mark the correct answers on their page. Copyright 2007. This e-book is produced and distributed by Red River Press Inc.

EASY GRAMMAR LESSONS Our lesson plans are designed to help you teach or reinforce a variety of grammar structures. They give students an opportunity to practice their English by performing different tasks in pairs and small groups. Our lessons are aimed primarily at lower level students and can be used with children or adults. Each lesson consists of six activities. 1. A Written Record This page is designed to help students organize their notes. It will enable them to keep track of all the new vocabulary and grammar structures they will be using. After you have taught the new material, have your students write the new words below each image. The new structures can be written in the note space provided. 2. Pair Work Each lesson includes a pair work activity which gives students an opportunity to practice their English. All of the pair work activities are controlled tasks; most are information gaps. Students ask questions and provide information to their partner in order to finish the task. 3. Follow Up Each pair work activity is followed by a written task to reinforce the new structure. The follow up task includes a series of questions about the pair work and fill-in-the-blank drills. 4. Listening A listening task is included in every lesson. The teacher provides information to the students. The students circle the correct answers or fill in the blanks. 5. Group Activity Each lesson concludes with a group activity designed to give students a chance to practice the new structure in a less controlled situation. Group tasks may consist of class surveys, games, or dialogues. 6. Review and Fun Each lesson plan has one page to use for classroom review or as a homework activity. These review sheets consist of puzzles, games, word searches, scrambles, and other fun activities. Teachers Notes Every document contains a teacher s page at the end of the lesson. Some lesson plans come with instructions on how to introduce and teach the target structure. Flashcards Every lesson plan comes with a complete set of flashcards.
