Progress expectation
The students should be able to pronounce and use the winter activity
vocabulary in their sentences with the correct usages.
Vocabulary of weekend activities during the winter
My weekend
I aim to prepare students how to plan weekend activities with friends and
family during the winter.
At the end of the lesson, students should be able to use the correct verb
associated with each of the 8 new winter vocabulary words. They should be
able to describe what each activity is and pronounce it correctly.
I assume the students have little knowledge of specific activities and know
basic vocabulary for general everyday activities. Also, I assume they know
simple basic sentences.
I will use the whiteboard to write out words and phrases, handouts for
multiple activities, and pictures of the winter vocabulary words.
I will first get the students to state their name and an activity they like to do
in general to do to get a general idea of their level. Then we will move onto
the vocabulary words and determine how well they understand them. Then
use sentences so they understand the correct verbs to use for the
sentences and then follow up with an interactive activity to test their new
knowledge.
I did not feel the lesson went as planned. I believe my lesson was too
simple for them and my understanding for an intermediate class was
incorrect. I did have to adapt my plan some to make it a little more
challenging for the students so I felt they learned something. I would
explain to them the proper usages of the verbs with the vocabulary words,
for example the differences between ‘build’ and ‘make.’ My students still
participated well for it being a bit easy at first for them and they still
contributed. I had one student that was at intermediate and struggled more
at pronouncing and writing the words out. She was also a bit shy to try
compared to the others but still participated when asked. The students’
attention level was good as well and no one behaved negatively. I believe I
could have cut down my teacher talking time a little but I felt to keep them
interested and keep participating I had to do a little more talking then I
should have. I believe all my instructions were clear even though I was a
little nervous but they seemed to understand me quite well. I now have a
better understanding of the basic skills of the intermediate student so in the
future I will be able to design my lessons to be more effective for the
students.

Notes
25 High Intermediate His English was quite well. He knew more then the other
students. He was eager to learn more and asked
appropriate questions. However, I felt he would be better
suited in the advanced classes.
60 Low Intermediate She struggled with the pronouncement of most of the
words. Her sentences were very basic. She participated
well but was a little on the shy side and had a friend in
the class help her mostly.
35 Intermediate to

said to her. She didn’t participate as much as I would
like but still did the work when asked and helped one of
the other students.
Her speaking level was okay but her writing and reading
were very good. She participated with everything and
asked questions when needed but I believe she thought
the class was too easy for her.
She came in a bit late so she missed the initial
introduction of the words but caught on quickly. She was
also a bit on the shy said but worked very well and made
a good effort on all the activities and would always ask
for help when needed.
