2- Students must tell the Arabic alphabet letters from 1 to 15 correctly
in order.
3- Students differentiate between the sounds of s and d and theirs harsh

4- Students recognize the Arabic writing of the greetings.
Step 2—Assessment Evidence
Performance task—What will students do to show what they have
learned?
1- Using small cards, write the Arabic letters from 1 to 15 and show
them in order. They work in groups of three.
2- In the same groups of three, students tell the 15 Arabic alphabet they
learned in their order. They have to do it as a group work, so each
students tell a letter in turn.
3- Using medium size cards with parts of the Arabic greetings written on
them, students get them together to form phrases.
Step 3—Learning Plan
Learning activities - Answer’s the question, how do I teach it?
1- Do now:
In worksheets, students have to match the Arabic writing of the characters
to their sounds. The sounds are written in English.
Time allowed is 2 minutes.
I collect the sheets to be marked.
2- I make a quick revision of the Arabic latters by asking them which letter
that has the sound….
I ask them about the names of the letters randomly. For example, what
is the fifth letter in Arabic?
I ask some individuals to write some of the Arabic letters in Arabic on
the board.
3- Activity:
Students be seated in groups of three. I give out small blank cards. They
have to write the 15 Arabic latters they learned successively. They show
them in order from the right to left.
Time allowed is 3 minutes.
They have to write the first version of the letters.
The first group to finish is the winner. They get 3 points.
I collect the cards in the end.
4- Activity:
In the same groups of three, students have to tell the fifteen letters
successively in turns. Each students say just one letters. No help is
given neither from me nor his friends.
Time allowed is 2 minutes.
The group of the fewest mistakes in pronunciation and missing letters
are the winner. They get 3 points.
5- Activity:
In the same groups of three, students work on the greetings.
I give out medium size of cards with incomplete phrases of the Arabic
greetings. They have to recognize the phrases and put them together.
They show them on their desks.
Time allowed is 3 minutes. The first to finish is the winner. 3 points are
given.
I collect the cards in the end.
6- I announce the winner group.
I declare that there is going to be a quiz about the 15 alphabet letters
next class. They have to be ready.
