Progress expectation
Students should be able to have a more developed vocabulary when it
comes to traveling as well as a good grasp on the Present perfect Tense. In
addition, students should be able to identify certain objects specific to
southeast Asia, particularly India.
Travel as well as the Present Perfect Tense
Subject
Topic
Using vocabulary to describe traveling as well as specific vocabulary related
to India. Also using the present perfect tense to describe traveling
experiences.
Aim
I would like to get the students thinking about different cultures,as well as
where they would like to travel in the future. In addition I would like to give
them a refresher course on the present perfect tense to make sure they
firmly grasp it. In addition, I would like for the student to know more
interesting words for traveling other than just the standard ones.
Objective
Students should be able to have a good enough grasp on the english
language to tell me where they have been in the the world as well as where
they want to go.
Knowledge assumed
Students should perhaps have been introduced to the present perfect tense
before. They should also be able to describe less concrete words to their
fellow students in Hot Seat.
Material & equipment
Computer to show pictures of the vocabulary words,a fill in the blank
worksheet about the present perfect tense so that the students practice
what we just learned, flashcards with a picture and a word on them for the
matching game so that the students can associate the picture with the word.
Learning assessment
Students will be able to write four sentences about a hypothetical trip to
India using the present perfect tense and vocabulary from the lesson.
Post lesson notes
The students seemed genuinely interested in this lesson. They loved to
point to the map and tell which places they had gone and which places they
still wanted to go. The also didn’t know most of the vocabulary words so the
words were a good level. However when I taught them the present perfect
tense they knew almost everything. When I asked Gloria if the tense was
too easy she said no however she suggested that I use more irregular
verbs. So next time I should either change the tense to something more
challenging or make the practices more challenging with irregular verbs and
more difficult sentences. The lesson went according to plan though. I would
definitely say that the students were attentive and were interested in the
topic. They really liked the matching game. The fill in the blank worksheet
was too easy. I didn’t get done with the produce because we ran out of time.
My explanations seemed to work because they did exactly what I had
explained to them for the matching game and Hot seat. however they did
have some trouble with pronunciation but after we worked on it they
understood better. Gloria was incredibly confident while Daniel had a lot
more trouble with his speaking and pronunciation. Sometimes Gloria would
know the answer right away or the level of the class was too easy for her.

She breezed through almost everything we did. She
always knew the answer and was able to even converse
with me with little to no mistakes before class. Was also
the talkative student. She needed to be challenged a bit
more. She seemed to really enjoy the lesson since she
loves to travel.
She was very tired during this lesson and kept falling
asleep, but when she was able to participate and answer
questions she almost always got them right
Had to call on him a few times to make sure he got equal
time talking and doing the activities. He had some trouble
with talking without a heavy accent as well as had trouble
with grammar. Was very attentive and ready to learn
