REALIA mini Lesson Plan GRAMMAR MICRO-TEACHING

Warm Up

Hello, everybody. How are you? (Personal answers)

I come to our classroom every day.

I greet you every morning.

I ask about your mood in every lesson.

To describe daily activities, I use Present Simple Tense.

Let’s review this grammar in speaking about daily routines:

Instruction:

- Name three activities that you do every day;

- Use Present Simple Tense;

- Speak one by one.

CCQ:

-How many activities should you name? (3)

-What Grammar Tense should you use? (Present Simple Tense)

- Should you make a dialogue? (No, we should speak one by one)

These are repetitive actions.

Presentation

But if we talk about the actions taking place at the moment of speech?

How should we build a sentence?

What is it? (It’s a balloon)

Look at me now:         

<T writes all sentences down on the board>

I'm blowing.

The ball is getting bigger.

I'm tying it up.

AAAND We are playing with the balloon now.

I'm drawing a smile on it now.

I'm drawing its eyes.

I’m opening its eyes.

AAAND It is looking at us at the moment!!!

Balloon: “Hello! I am looking at you! I am playing with you!

Ha-ha-ha!!! I am speaking English!”

T: Balloon is speaking English!

Balloon: I am looking through the window!

Cars are coming! People are walking!

Practice

Now Look at the board:

Is there something that unites these sentences? (The verb to BE and –ing ended verbs)

I am

You are

He is

She is                 + Verb-ing

He is

It is

We are

They are
