Why my lesson is meaningful:
 This lesson is the last one from the topic “Art and Museum”. During the previous lessons student learned about different
types of collections and museums, became acquainted with one of the most interesting artistic movement “Impressionism”
and learned about V.Van Gogh. This lesson is aimed to accumulate and implement all knowledge that they have already in
order to integrate the new information in appropriate way. Therefore, all sequence of activities was built in cumulative way,
based on information they already have and complementing it. Moreover, during the lesson, children learned new
information about different types of museums by usage of digital tools (Internet resources), analyzed it and create the
“product” – “an advertisement poster”. As well as, all this new information is related to real life. It provides knowledge about
art and museums, skills to get information and analyze it, teaches pupil to appreciate it, and all these the pupils do in English
language – training it in different ways (orally, reading, writing).
 I see my lesson as meaningful because it also provides the necessary skills (communicative, collaborative, research, analyze
skills) to be successful in rapidly changing modern world.
 Baron B. claims in her article “Teaching for Meaningful Learning: A Review of Research on Inquiry-Based and Cooperative
Learning”, that a quite big amount of researches illustrating the benefits of inquiry-based and cooperative learning to obtain
and develop these important skills. According the authors, the both inquiry-based and collaborative learning change the
teacher's role in teaching/learning process. The main teacher goal in these kinds of learning is to "to model good reasoning
strategies and to support the students to take on these roles themselves" (Baron.B, 2008, p.3). I tried to do the same in my
lesson-plan in order to provide the students-concentrated, meaningful lesson for them.
